efm - group buy on stomp box series

[buscemi]

dang, I liked the idea of the stereo BeeBaa, how about a plain unpainted enclosure? Probably can get the larger ones "brushed" so they at least have some character.

[shamann]

Would the painted enclosures available through either Pedal Enclosures Pro or Pedal Parts Plus be of any use?

Banzai effects also sells painted enclosures of varying sizes, but they're in the UK and pricey:

Hmmm good one, looks like those are about 5-8 dollars more than the smaller enclosures which doesn't seem too bad for twice the size (or more in some cases from what I can tell). I'd love to send some of the Plugiator sounds through a stereo box of badass this.

my vote is for a delay with **Resonant HP/LP filter** on the feedback, there is no affordable such small hardware effect, I would pay 100 USD for that box,
digital delay should be more than 8 bit though and at least 12000 sampleRate,
delay time at least 4 seconds,

controls: dry out, wet out, time, feedback gain, filter type, Reso, CutOff,
possible? <grin>

I don't know. I think so. There is a 12bit 20 second chip, with lot's of options but I don't have the details handy. I'll look into it. The filter part should not be a problem but I don't know for sure because I never tried it.

BTW There are some BBD chips available so maybe I can do a flanger/chorus/analog delay too. I'll have to get some ICs ordered and see how the breadboarding works out.

BBD chips sound good as they "auto" modulate the delay, there are sligthly variations in gain and pitch which make the echo alive,

the 12bit 20 second chip would be great for a cheap loop station with the Resonant Filter on the feedabck, if the chip allows you to insert analog components in the feedbak loop. (maybe you can put a BBD chip in the feedback too!)

well, I hope there will be more people interested in the delay + filter group-buy

That's two for a stereo BeeBaa, any other takers?

A little of what the BeeBaa sounds like (thick and woolly kind of fuzz, with a rattly treble booster):

So just imagine a stereo groovebox run through that, or a synth, or a sampler, or your laptop outputs throughout.

Filthy and horrible- count me in!

im a maybe but probably a yes.
depends on final prices as the filterbank is the more important of the bunch for me at the mo.
can i have a purple filterbank?

i've been watching this thread with interest...following some YT links and running on memory i'd have to say i'm really curious/interested if you could make a Fender Blender clone on the inexpensive...i dig the idea of the stereo BeeBaa fuzz box, seems cool, but for me personally i don't think it would bring enough of a variety from separate Muff/boost pedals (i'm kind of covered)... the Blender seems to have a unique tone (and i don't need stereo)...i think my Twin really, really wants a Blender

[Hanglow]

Here's a good link for a diy fender blender for tomg or anyone else schem and pcb layout.

sweet!

List amended.

Go ahead and add me to the list. Don't need a stereo Bee Baa, but its better than none at all.

I'd guess two pedals in one, with maybe some shared controls. That's what I have on my stereo Scrambler clone, shared controls for output gain and blend, separate controls for the distortion texture setting.

Beebaa has 3 switches and 4 pots, two in one would lead to 6 switches and 8 pots, I think that would need to be simplified some for a stereo box. You could use a dual pot for the volume. One possibility is to do like the Barge Concepts BB-Jr. Beebaa clone and drop the boost (which is really just the first gain stage of the fuzz circuit isolated from the rest). So that would eliminate two switches and two knobs, getting it down to five pots if a dual was used on volume and 4 switches. And, pie in the sky, maybe a sixth pot for channel bleed of some kind.

Tom willing of course.

I did a mock layout and I don't think there is room on the largest power coated box I can buy and I don't want to paint. I just started looking into it though and something could click into place. I played with the idea of leaving the boost off too. Just dunno yet.

Boost ain't needed I here. Also, this guy's selling some cool painted and pre-drilled enclosures, 4 and 5 holes:

Looks like there's a lot of interest in BeeBaa, Filter Bank, and maybe Slow Gear (admittedly selfishly including the latter hehe) - so where do we send the deposit?
