MXR Phase 45 clone

It's not a shame for the circuit, just for my cheesy pedal idea.

Also, I just noticed that pedal parts Au list the red llama pcb in the fuzz category. I can't wait to build it. But I am still missing some parts.

Haha or ignore me, I just like toying with ideas.

Here's a mock of how the LED as shooting phaser might work:

I wasn't necessarily suggesting the LED to be the tip of the phaser, I was mostly thinking about having a beam drawn as part of the graphic. Although that is interesting. What's your thoughts about that design?

To be honest, I don't love it. It's a bit too cheesy, and vaguely pornographic. Later tonight I will mix it up a bit and add some phaser rays, moving LED back to a standard spot.

I like this version a lot more. I changed to a less busy knob, moved the LED, and drew some raygun style beams.

I think I will go with this, barring minor adjustments when I test print for drilling locations.

Yeh that version is much better. Good stuff.

That last one gets my vote! Nice work.

I'm not really a Star Trek fan, but I appreciate the humour. (I was going to say Star Wars just to stir you up, but I didn't :p)

That's OK, I am a Star Wars fan too. Pretty much all sci-fi actually. I started reading my Dad's Heinlein and Asimov novels before I was 10.

Given my dissatisfaction with downloaded drilling templates, I am using this pedal to learn some Inkscape basics (it's like an open source Illustrator). Tonight I just learned how to align objects correctly, and to use layers. This let me make a mock pedal with accurate sized knobs and switches, a printable decal, and a perfectly aligned drilling template (or so I hope):

Obviously a Star Trek theme happening right now. This is a candidate design for the Red Llama.

Unlike the phaser where I think it needs the black border, on this one I think the borderless design works better. And colour because I can pack this into the A4 special order decal I am getting for the blueycaster.

Agreed.
It's weird, but the border actually makes the Enterprise look larger. (optical dillusion?)
