Looks and sounds amazing. I've wanted a univibe for a while but never thought about building one. I see that GGG makes a PCB for this project, seems like a fun project. Did you run into any problems?

richon · December 23rd, 2009, 10:17 PM

any problems beside time??? not... a lot of fun ... and a great result!!!

build one...

richon, your projects always inspire me!

They're always about as DIY as you can get. From woodworking, to soldering, to everything in between.

Very cool!!

Well JohnnyCrash,

when you don't have the posibility to buy the parts, you just have to build them, isn't it? jajajaja

Sounds great!

I built a Neo-vibe a while ago, but had to lend my only 18v PSU to my neighbour, and have not been able to use it since!! Need to get it back up and running, forgot how good they sound :)

What have you modded with yours?

richon · December 24th, 2009, 11:02 AM

yes, some minor mods:

more speed for the LFO (2 resistors of 4,7K changed to 2,2K)
better transistor for more current available=MPSA18
more input gain (but i plan to undo this mod)

thas it...

Ok then I will...These things sound way too cool to pass up.

Parts are on order from Small Bear, Mouser, and the PCB from GGG. Kind of a PITA, I've never had to source parts before.

Nice job richon. Sounds really great and the enclosure is very cool too.

I'm glad I stumbled on this post because I've been looking for the right univibe clone to do. Where did you get the layout, parts list, etc. for your version?

Thanks

richon · January 21st, 2010, 09:29 PM

good you like it!

look for the archives of NEOVIBE and it has it all to build it and even mod it.

bye
