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.

Tough choice. What about modifying the design to have the phase pistol shooting?

Or if you do starship then what about having it as it's engaging warp to illustrate movement?

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?

[jugglindan]

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 )

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.

...I think the borderless design works better.

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