Re: Lightning Wave pedal
I'm really putting off the number crunching until I can no longer avoid it (making a BOM can put me to sleep in no time), but I'd say about 290. The phaser is likely a wee bit up on that due to time/parts cost. It doesn't have a battery either... so should I order in US 9V adapters? Or is that something that most people have sorted?

Re: Lightning Wave pedal
Your Pedals look amazing!
I wouldn't mind the adapter. I think it's ok to leave that to the user. Or does it have any really special specs?

Re: Lightning Wave pedal
Thanks! It's just standard 9V, but seeing as there's digital stuff going on in there, it might interact in a daisy chain. I'll try verify this..

Re: Lightning Wave pedal
Have been planning and ordering parts to make the upcoming batch, so time has been scarce to make sound samples, but I had a wee play with the Ghost trem in the pedal chain last night.
Had it at a few gigs now with the Limbo II on the input and DD-5 (reverse) on the output. It's been fun in the genre of noise/post rock at least

In other news, Jonny from 80Tape is teaming up on this project
Keeping the concept evolving would be practically impossible without him, so I'm pretty excited for the upcoming year!
Also, if you're interested I have a sneak peek at the LFO visualiser that will be powered and sent CV directly from the "Function" jack on the LW pedals. Here's a link to an Instagram clip:

Re: Lightning Wave pedal
Yep, we've configured the hardware and firmware so that you can modify what the function jack does if connected to a stereo splitter. E.g:

{Tip: Receive 0-5V} {Ring: Send 5V}
-Expression pedal input - controls depth or write - DIP switchable to be in parallel with main fader
{Tip: Send CV} {Ring: Send 5V}
- If the oscilloscope pedal is having power and CV/signal sent simultaneously
{Tip: Send CV} {Ring: Send CV}
- If you want to send CV to two pedals
{Tip: Send CV} {Ring: Receive pulse}
- For keeping in time with V-trig while sending CV for 'scope or other 0-5V CV input
{Tip: Send pulse} {Ring: Receive pulse}
- Daisy-chaining to/from master pulse
{Tip: Receive 0-5V} {Ring: Send CV}
-Write to preset bank using external CV waveform
-CV input will control master wave depth level (during playback) while CV outputs the result of combining the preset waveform and an external carrier.
And so on..
