Prog2 is on the way
Work on moving Prog2 from prototype to production is well under way, with the first batch of boards being built by pcbway as of last week. Prog2 features stereo input at last, which makes chaining a series of the pedals more effective, and offers better support for those using the pedal with synths.
The enclosure graphics have been designed by Nick Robinson.
Comparing the Prog 1 chorus patch with a Julianna
The chorus patch sounds really good. Here’s how some of the testing and tweaking has been done to get it sounding as good as possible:
Prog Pedals - almost open for business
Prog Pedals is a registered business (based in Australia) and prototyping is going gangbusters.
The 5th prototype has been built and is being tested in the wild…
The 6th prototype is under fabrication with PCBWay
Releases
Version 0.6
- Using Neutrik sockets
- Footswitches added to the bypass footswitch PCB
Version 0.5
Four of these have been built and are being used by me and others for testing purposes.
Problems/ observations
- Audio sockets need to be sturdier
Heading to 0.6
- Using Neutrik sockets
- Adding the two footswitches to the bypass footswitch PCB
Version 0.4
Four of these have been built and are being used by me and one other for testing purposes.
Problems/ observations
- Holes for the switch wires are too small.
- It can be tricky getting the bypass LED to sit well if a LED holder is being used.
Heading to 0.5
- Will go for SMD resistors, caps and TL074
- Will add an IDC connector, and design a footswitch PCB - wiring a footswitch manually is fiddly and time consuming
