Here's the unit with the automation add-on fitted........
It works OK and the thing that puzzled me beforehand was that the instructions said to connect to the BCD switch and POT 1, which was not correct, it should be POT 2. I spoke to Piet this morning who put me right.
You can get 10 selections stored, combining any of the machines and any of the feedback patterns. It doesn't store the input level,echo amount or feedback amount, they can still be adjusted by turning the knobs. On program 5, POT 2 that was the feedback selector switch automatically becomes a potentiometer for head 4 and in fact, that's all it does in all programs, it doesn't have any other function anywhere other than Program 5.
And here it is showing the illuminated front, I still need to get a light bar fitted inside to show through the front nameplate and I will fit a relay and stereo jack socket so as to provide a bypass facility. The enclosure is made of steel, the front leans back 13 degrees (what precision eh ?) to provide more visibility and the spots behind the knobs light up as does all lettering.This prototype has been sprayed metallic grey.The front screws will be black.
Whaddya think ?
