I know I keep banging on about it but if you’re not finding the breakup to your liking you could set up the gain/output like you have with the expression pedal but assign to input level instead. I found it difficult to get a subtle breakup when digging in with out making the tone too dirty sometimes so that would give you a little more dynamic control over it. Because it’s tied to device input you don’t need to worry too much about compressor placement either.

Don’t ruin this for me. The way I see it this is just getting some fundamentals in, foot in the door and that.

PS some of this is very aspirational stuff considering my current understanding but would love to learn this stuff. TBF if software development continues the trend of shifting to offshoring work and more reliance on AI producing spaghetti code it wouldn’t hurt to have some foundational understanding of a more practical trade 🫠

Yeah it was this that got my attention: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/harmonic-percolator-with-some-mods.22248/ I’d really love to take some of these circuits and simplify them, maybe play around with switching a 3-band eq for a tilt style or a Baxandall tone stack etc like on the EAE Dagger.

The more I’ve been digging around and I think I’m gonna build the Euna kit as a warm up. I decided I do wanna get a DIY breadboard and a bunch of components I need to try out a few designs. There’s a Harmonic Percolator someone shared which I’d like to play around with. Maybe make a few tweaks here and there and learn as I go. I really wanna learn more about what I’m building and I’m not gonna get that just from putting together kits. Might even make some use out of the videos I watched on KiCad when I was looking at doing my own split mech keyboard layout.

Yeah they’re terrible. It’s all based on a lot of legacy tech too.

I’ve got an EAE Model FeT and Dagger but I’d still love to build them 🤣 That’s a very handy list, there’s a bunch there which sound really tempting!

So far these are the 3 that stand out as potential builds that would be super handy for me. The Euna is a definite. I’d probably grab one more while I’m there. The Compressor is tempting because it looks pretty easy and my Accountant is ace but noisy. The Muzzle noise gate looks a little more faffy but a noise gate would be extremely handy for me, particularly with the sidechain option.

Oooo nice! Yeah I might hit you up when I’ve got something together!

Nice! Where you based?

I’ve always wanted to try Airbrushing, I’ve had a book on it for about 20 years 🤣 Maybe this would be a good opportunity to grab one.

@LukeFRC What stamps do you use?

Looks great! At some point it would be cool to have a play with acid etching although I’d need to find somewhere away from my 5yo 🤣

Excited to build some. At least it should be less faffy than the surface mount DIY mech keyboards I’ve done. Dunno what I’ll do to finish it assuming it works.

Ooo good catch, well I think I’ll be popping an order for Musikding. Sadly they’re out of TS50b sets.
