Unicorn Drive - VIPfx Xtc Build

[eldanko]

Howdy friends!

Sorry for the two month hiatus. Life has been nutty, and pedal building has had to take a back seat lately. Nevertheless, I found some time this week to bang together this little beauty.

Hats off to Chi_Boy for the absolutely fantastic pcb. I built it to spec (socketed the diodes in case I get adventurous later) and I'm really quite impressed. The Bass knob is pretty crucial to tailoring the drive to whatever amp you happen to be using, and the clipping switching is nice. I find myself on the "Fairy Dust" setting more often than not. Sounded great through my Super Reverb, and absolutely killer through my Chieftain... I always liked the ZenDrive through the Chieftain, so I'm not surprised.

I was feeling particularly snarky the day I was putting the artwork together. It's sort of my own little tribute to TGP.

I only expect you submit that piece of art to the March context in order to hear the demo!!
it has to sound amazing...

That is absolutely perfect, well almost... you should have used PIO caps or at least tropical fish ones, oh yeah and carbon comp resistors, and...

This is a lovely build! You do fine work! I really like the diode names. I hear those fairy dust diodes are expensive

[LaceSensor]

Awesome build. That pcb looks nice too.

Are there real unicorn tears in there?

[hammerheadmusicman]

That's where the mojo is Jimi, in the unicorn tear diodes.
