Playing with my Drone Lab

My first real session with the Casper Electronics Drone Lab I completed earlier today. Has some potential to make some cool sounds.

I've not tried the tremolo trigger in/out controls yet.

Before I built it, I had done some circuit bending and built a few amplifiers, that sort of thing. I got a nicer soldering iron for this thing, printed the instructions, took notes off the forum, cataloged all the parts and organized them, then just got to work. My soldering isn't perfect but it worked first shot out the gate.

I'm not sure to be honest. I loaned it to a friend so I can't look, but you might go check the casper electronics forums for help! :)

on the back of the Dronelab v2... does C27 supposed to be connected to R42 ? seems this is causing my distortion to not exist ?

[alienmeatsack]

@rhoggard76 Hey... I got my DroneLab back. I cant tell honestly if they connect or not on the pins that are close.I dont have any solder gapping between the 2 on mine. Seems like I remember reading about distortion issues on the forum. Have you checked there?

SO COOL!!! GREAT JOB.

I can't wait to see the bends you add... I know you are thinking about it!

[alienmeatsack]

@redepoch76 Yeah, I am looking forward to trying to bend and add some new circuits. I thought I'd leave it "stock" for a bit, get to know it, then attack.

I'd like to replace the LEDs, and maybe add LEDs to indicate IN/OUT activity at the least. And then see what crazy stuff I can make it do from there.

Cool circuit

This thing looks pretty serious. If I had any experience building, I'd probably give it a shot.

great stuff !
