Repeater - Vox Repeat Percussion

From the vendor

Instant Spacemen 3! Just add fuzz and wah.

Quirky little box of fun. The original was a box that plugged straight into the guitar jack socket. Sound? A reverse-sawtooth tremolo-type affair. Very choppy.

Stock, it cuts the signal completely between 'beats', giving the percussion effect the name suggests. This version has an optional depth knob to tame that chop and give a wider range of effect. It has also been updated for more output, and has an internal volume trimmer to set it to unity (or over, or under, as you wish).

Also added is a switch to change the speed range available. At higher speeds it sounds almost ring-mod-ish. Also included is an extra input capacitor so you can go with the original thin tone or a normal, full range tone.

Kit comes with a tested 2N2646 (the UJT transistor that does the magic).

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.
