Bought this on Amazon Prime days. Genmitsu 3018 PROver 2. CAD$250. First CNC machine I've owned.
It is an entry level/toy machine, but my main purpose is marking/drilling pilot holes in pedal housings. Drilling by hand, even using a template, I can't get closer than about 0.5mm to perfect. With the machine the holes will be exact.
I think it will also be able to engrave "labels" - removing the powdercoat.

Nice
Does this mean you have some more pedal builds planned?

Btw, how about a nice tremolo pedal build?
Like most effects I love it and have a dozen or more I use...yet I can see room to improve, functionally.
Someting the size of the Architect fuzz (and the rock solid build quality!). (the BBE Tremor I have is about right)
- 2 independent speeds/depths is the key, hopefully with a "ramp" time.
Wave shape of the basics - square, triangle, sine + "Skew" (that off centre wobble vintage tone is perfect)
Volume/boost/preamp control.
Surf green, white Fender knobs or similar (Like the TC Pipeline maybe?)
Expression jack (to ramp speed or depth)
Of course tap tempo would be the icing on the cake but its not essential.
Clear largish LEDs that flash the tempo.
One of my favouritesis actually the Maxon Stereo Box - which is technically a pan but functions as a tremolo in mono mode. The PN-2 gets very close soundwise with less control of the speed.
Thoughts?
(Actaully I also recal I have a Fuchs Creme de la Trem in the junk pile which I loved - harmonic style trem. Now something like that on a mode would be thoroughly welcome! 18v fried the Fuchs, but its fiddly small circuit. They did send two replacement chips but to no avail. I also flipped out the diode but no dice.)
I love the specificity
I haven't ever thought of doing a tremolo - I bought a Fulltone Supatrem years ago and it does everything I need.
When I met fuzzbuzzfuzz in Augsburg last week we talked about
the perfect analog tremolo pedal and that it is non-existent. I'd love to see a tremolo built by you, Laurie!
