Magnavibe PCB (Gauging Interest)

[raulduke]

Ok guys a heads up on this one...

I posted about it on my blog and got an email from Bigfoot FX, politely asking not to sell copies of his pedal/circuit.

Sounds fair to me.

Therefore, I couldn't really get a batch of PCB's made without feeling pretty bad about it (Bigfoot FX were very polite and reasonable), even if they were for DIY use only.

Hope you guys understand...

Understandable 

There are more pedals to build.

Damn, I just found this trying to decide what to build next. I see you have been asked not to do these but could you point me in a direction. I found the vero for this and wanted to know if this is the same? I can etch myself a pcb if I can get a hand on a decent printer

You could build something very similar on perf. If you download my Perfboard library, there's a thing in there called "Shoot the Warbler." It's the LFO from CultureJam's Shoot the Moon driving the LED for the dry path of the Blue Warbler (which is very very close to the Magnavibe/Wobbletron). It also has a ramp switch and is small enough to fit in a 1590A. You could adjust the values to go back to the Magnavibe ones if you want it to sound like that pedal and less like the Magnatone amps it purports to emulate (I've compared both to the real amp side by side).

EDIT: I know it's not the same pedal, but I think the different LFO would add some fun. There are perf and vero layouts for the Magnavibe on FSB.
