Members Pewtershmit Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 hey dudesI have a Suhr Riot in front of me all apart. And I gotta say, this is one incredibly well designed pedal. The switch they use is so smooth, the enclosure is absolutley perfect and even with all the extra features and whatnot the pedal is so neat and tidy. Definatley something to strive for in my DIY stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGG board, my own spec parts... values wise it's basically a violet ram's head with a few of the 'mayo' values... I'll be boxing that up this week.

Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 Digital 'Binson' layout with variable delay time and reverb. Oi. Not a lot of copper on this one... still need to finish the code though. Controls: Level, Mix, Tone, Feedback, Reverb, Repeat head selector, Regeneration head selector, toggle between standard delay time and variable delay time, then when in variable time there is a control for delay time. Uuuh what else... my mind is fried right now Bottom: Top with ground pour (GREATEST THING EVER) and some power routing: Components (U3 and U5 are actually under the board which is why the pins are backwards): EDIT: updated board pics.. Independant left and right inputs. I believe it will be possible to run one of the outs to the second in for some.. sounds. Has an EP-2 (echoplex) preamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 Originally Posted by Dr.Pain-MD You're coding it? What microcontroller/etc? Using the FV-1 finally. It's a really basic DSP platform... has some really cool potential though, including pitch shifting, mod (flange, phase, chorus, etc), delay, lots of reverb, trem.. built in LFO's, independent left and right channels. You can't change the internal programs, which are 8 programs with different kinds of effects, but you can program EEPROM and have it read from that instead.

Definatley something to strive for in my DIY stuff. i agree on this, i picked up a suhr shiba last night and couldnt resist taking a peek under the hood. most of its is covered in black goop, and there looks like 2 boards (double sided pcbs?) and smds...but the build quality and components (escially the switch) and the features really raises the bar too high. back to the drawing board.

Members THAT4301 Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 I don't doubt that they're extremely well built, but when's the last time a hammond enclosure broke on you?The relay switching will do far more for the reliability than the case.
