Rust bucket 2.0-attack decay

This one has been poked, prodded, pulled apart, put back together turned into Frankenstein and resurrected. Started life as a stock rust bucket. I got sidetracked at one point with scruffie's modulation mod. I put the Vero together. I connected the mod board and a 9mm pot and drilled the enclosure. Man was it a tight fit. The modulation is really interesting but I wish I could have it on a separate footswitch to turn it on and off but there was no room in the enclosure. Ultimately I removed it because it kinda took away from the original effect and I figured I could always run it with other things. It would be really cool to do an effects loop and insert all kinds of pedals into it...if you're reading this Brian, something to think about in the future if you bring it back! So here is the resurrected rust bucket back in its original incarnation with a shiny new enclosure with all the backwards envelope violin playing your heart desires.

That's awesome. It's such a cool effect.

Looks great!  This is one of my favorite MB projects.

Not my style of effect but, your work looks great as always. 
The kind of guy who sticks a fork in his Dr. Pepper... If you know what I mean.

Looks super! This one is definitely in the "coming back soon but updated" category. I plan on keeping all the mbp EHX projects available from here on out.

Awesome, I love this pedal.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Whether at my feet or on a forum, it's always a treat to see one of your builds Chris.
I'm lookin' for this place called Lee Ho Fooks

Hey, you tried it! Well, I'm glad it was interesting at least, I was hoping it might make it sound more violin-y.

I'm guessing you didn't get any demo footage of it?

no sound clip, it was held together with bubble gum and shoelaces. I used a trimmer in place of the pot. It was also a little noise as it was outside the enclosure. I think a loop would be a great was to implement the effect while adding all kinds of effects on the envelope. Octave, flange , phaser would be awesome with this.

SWEET build Chris!!

Pro Tip: If you have continuity between the In/Out jacks via the enclosure, remove one of the Ground lines going to either jack. By Grounding both AND having the enclosure provide continuity between the jacks, you potentially have a giant antenna  :o

Thanks man, high praise as I don't see you popping up too much these days so a shout out from someone of your caliber who does some of the most top shelf builds is a pretty big compliment. I haven't had issues with the enclosure yet in a build as far as I know, but if that does happen now I know how to fix it.
