Timber Merchant (FV1)

The Timber Merchant is going to become a fan favourite here. We all love a good reverb, well ,this is a brilliant reverb! It visited JPland from the otherworld of etherealness, producing super cavernous verb! 6 knobs, dial in glory. What more would one need?

 

There are two different difficulty levels, if you have experience soldering surface mount parts then this kit is fairly straight forwards. If you dont then the FV1 chip is a challenge. If you are taking on the soldering challenge yourself then I recommend ordering yourself a very cheap surface mount practice kit from ebay or similar to test yourself with. The FV1 is a very expensive part itself, so you do not want to practice on it.

 

You can add pre-soldering of the FV1 to your kit here, only available when shown as in stock though! Soldered, tested and certified by our resident JP expert.

 

Other than soldering the FV1 this kit is a through hole project however some builder have experienced difficulty in building it. The kit has been independantly built and verified as working though so please bare this in mind, it could be considered a tricky build for some. 

 

The DEN pot can introduce a bit of noise at its extremes but this is easily avoided and dialed out by raising the pot from 0 to 1! 

 

The FV1 and EEPROM work together, the EEPROM contains the individual programmes that the FV1 reads. So both are required to enable this project to work. Therefore the minimum option to choose is the PCB, EEPROM and FV1 option, should you not have any.

 

When complete, the project is everything you could wish for in a top quality pedal. 

 

The board is spaced for PCB mounted toggles and pots. It fits in one of our JP125B cases and comes with top mounted jacks and power.
