Here's the pedal i did in trade of NicoFX Mini Echo pedal! :mrgreen:

It's a Catalinbread Heliotrope clone with an fx loop with blend knob using Ben layout.

Some of you may recognize that enclosure, i got it laser etched today, i'm really pleased with the results, from now on, all my production pedal will be laserized!! 8)

Thanks, I used Alpha clear shaft pots with daughter pcb from DucTapeRiot group buy, super easy to install and work with.

I'll post pictures of the guts later so i'll try to get a good shot of the «pot»!

Wow! Dude that looks awesome with the laser , what layout did you use for the heliotrope?? Sabrotone? I was thinking on building one of these , I always thought they were quite different sounding. Whats your opinion on it? Is it worth the effort?

Yep, Old Black Metal Sabro Tone vero layout! It does'nt sound «exactly» like the heliotrope if i compare to video i've seen, but really really close too and the effort...........well..........really easy pedal to build.

If you ever want to make one, i have a load of the «741»IC :wink:

I'll be redoing the guts shortly after my Rollerblade ride, going to put a picture of the nest it is right now! :lol:
