2nd pedal looking pretty 



Much thanks to JakeFuzz who made vibrato awesomeness possible!

Works great!

Invisible footswitches!  Why didn't I think of that 

Lookin good

Looks great! I'm building the same project, though I'm not quite as skilled in graphics. Right now I've got the looper working and I need to order some parts to add in the vibrato. What value pots did you use for the vibrato controls?

[MattOcaster]

Can't remember exactly about the pots, but I used the recommendations JakeFuzz posted in the Vibrato Mod threat.
Vibrato 100% worth it!

Great looking build. I am glad to see someone has taken the plunge to put the vibrato mod in. How do you like it? Did you use the last recommended values for the pots? I really like mine and use it all the time. The detune control is a little wild but very fun. People trip out a little when they hear it

Pretty tidy! I love the look

How did you do the footswitches?

[MattOcaster]

Here are all the pics:





(Wiring about halfway through - even tight in a 1590BB!)

For the pots I used:
Depth 10k: 5K is MORE than enough for vibrato, over a quarter way up things get extreme.
Speed 50k Lin: reverese log would be better, especially as the faster vibrato speeds are in the last quarter turn.

Also, put a 50k trim pot in place of the 4k/30k resistor - but prob not necessary.
The voltage sits around 4.3V while playing. Using the Detune or LFO, anything under around 4V things get extreme.

I used a Dpdt toggle switch [the top mini one] for LFO and Detune. Get some cool sounds rotating the Detune while playing!
The second Dpdt [bottom mini toggle] disables the LFO/Detune - but ended up not that useful!

It's a nice Looper! But again, without the vibrato it loses a lot of functionality.
I do like that the looper playback sounds VERY different to the guitar sound so creates nice contrast.

My Boss RC-30 has a "Lofi" setting as well - actually does a pretty good job.
The Boss does maintain a lot more of the high-end, but I like the Loophole sound better

Again, thanks JakeFuzz - appreciate all the work you put in and sharing it on the forum

Very cool... just about to have a go at this one myself and completely forgot jakefuzz's awesome vibrato mod!   Can't wait, thanks for sharing

Love that graphic style!
