Come hang out at the shop and solder with friends. We'll be running a Saturday workshop only - starting at 11:00 AM , and will take us until 5 or 6PM.
What are we building?!?
Erica Synths DIY BBD Delay/Flanger is one of the few BBD (bucket brigade delay) chip based DIY modules. The module is designed to provide variety of effects from flanger to delays with adjustable flavours and plenty of modulation possibilities.
Features
- 4092 stage BBD
- Up to 300ms delay time
- Delay time CV input with an attenuator
- Feedback Send-Return circuit for external effects
- Built in LFO with dedicated output
- Two customizable feedback overdrive flavours
- LP filter on the output with selectable cutoff
- Dedicated Wet output
The module has built in LFO with selectable shape and dedicated LFO output, delay time CV input with an attenuator, selectable feedback overdrive and feedback Send-Return connectors, so you can apply external effects on feedback signal. Maximum feedback settings put the module in self oscillation, so it can be used as an experimental sound source, as well.
We are going to be building the BBD Delay together, this means soldering! If you've never soldered before, that's OK. I'm here to hold your hand through the process. This build is all through-hole, so it involves no advanced soldering techniques, however it is about 160 parts so may take some time! The workshop price includes all the parts required.
You don't need to bring any tools, just bring what you need to be comfortable for the day. There is a microwave, mini fridge and coffee machine. There are also a few food options in the neighbourhood - Tartan Toque, Subway, Origin Bakery and Cafe.
Make sure to select "Store Pickup" at check out. If you'd like to build this one at home on your own please select "Take Home Kit". There are a few extras to mail out.
I still have some Polivoks kits available as well, I'm making them available on the day (if you're fast and want to build two) and also as a take home option.
Stay weird.
