notice the fuzzes are before the wah, the overdrives/distortions come after the wah, the talking pedal after all the dirts/wah where it sounds best to my ear.
i may add a flanger back on, but i hardly ever use 'em, and the causality does so much. i always preferred phasers to flangers.
notice the stupid simple overdrive is after the phaser... that way, i can tickle it with the phaser, or use it for a boost when the other two guitar players are drowning me out. ;) the...
This is another one for the ones that like to be a bit strange. I generally fall into that category but then again iam a bass player. But we won't start on that debate. This one of what i can gather correct me if iam wrong which i probably am. Is some form of reverse compression it eliminates the attack from the beginning interesting though non the less and i hope you all enjoy it. As usual all i ask is if you build it please let me know what its like. Cheers...
Hey guys thought to share this with you. Was more a wiring technique that somebody will find it useful. The problem is this, what if i would like to use in the same amp Russian tubes and European tubes without the need to reroute the heaters wiring.
What do you need: DPDT switch and sockets :)
This is how you do it:
WARNING!! YOU HAVE TO USE THE SAME PREAMP TUBES (RUSSIAN OR EUROPEAN). You can however to make this arrangement for every preamp tube and you will have the possibility to...
That's all... I have this idea, but I just don't know how to design a pcb layout and fabricate it.
Just need someone or some company to colaborate/work this out with me to build a first prototype.
I found , but i am in EU, so the shipping cost/custom and all that $hit is to be reduced/avoided. but you get the idea of what I need.
oh no... a DSP overdrive effect!!!
I got my hands on a Spin Semiconductor FV-1 and had to try it.
Check for sound sample, source code etc and let me know what you think of it
Here's a stab at Jack's dual opamp LFO from the Dark Echo. It uses a single control to simultaneously turn up the rate while turning down the amplitude, all the way through zero.
I based it on the Boss CE-2 LFO and combined the individual depth and rate voltage dividers into one counter-adjusting pot. I have no idea if this is what jack actually does, but it seems like a pretty cool thing to try out. The values are taken from the CE-2, but they can be adjusted to taste.
One of my first posts on this forum (although I have been a member for a bit of time). In my downtime from university I decided to take it upon myself to try and make a bit of money from some useful skills I have obtained from being an engineering student. I have started off by building a booster based around the BS170 Mosfet. The first one I built is based around Jack Orman's AMZ Mosfet booster with some component changes here and there mainly caps, resistors and pots. The end result is a nice...

Hi, anyone here built a clone of these before? I'm interested in building one, and I've found this layout for it:
I've just got a couple of questions though. First of all, the transistor doesn't have the emitter, base and collector labelled, does anyone know which legs on that layout are the emitter, base and collector? Secondly, could I just put in the capacitors anyway I want, regardless of there being a positive and negative side to them, due to the fact that they're fairly low value?...
Okay, so the Boss Hyper Fuzz FZ-2 is pretty rare. It's really just a Univox Superfuzz with a much fancier tone stack though.
I started out thinking okay, I'll just isolate the EQ section for Mode 2, since that's the mode Electric Wizard used and that's the only thing I really want from the FZ-2, and I'll bake that into a Superfuzz box. Except the Superfuzz layout I used is a bit gluttonous on internal volume, and now I'd be adding another couple of knobs to the enclosure and it was beginning...
Someone asked recently for a Noise gate. The attached is an old design that's cheap and effective. It was manufactured for a while by Maxon and sold with various badges. It's always in circuit (to annoy the purists) and some of the commercial ones had an extra jack socket for gate input. It's unity gain (virtually) through, and doesn't significantly colour guitar sound at all. The gate opening and closing is silent (it's a rapid fade) and the range of control is very good.
I had a few UHF NPN BJTs laying about (2N3866), they are expensive little buggers but I hate to see them sit around, so I threw together a schematic, tested and refined and here it is, a one transistor overdrive/distortion - and it actually sounds great for what it is.
Initially I had a larger cap on the Emittor, but dropping it down to a 2.2 results in a wicked cool sound at all gain levels.
This circuit should work fine with a 2n3904 as well - but I haven't tested it.
It's basically a diode...
cobbled this together. no interest on the other forum, probably cuz it doesn't use biasing in a classic manner on the transistors.
sounds fucking great. i used this last nite live and it totally kicked ass at stage volumes, from clean to scream to pitched static it did it all right from my guitar. i didn't miss my pedalboard at all. surprised the fuck out of me.
this is a great way to use up leaky shitty low gain garbage germaniums. hfe of 10-60 tested, above that it starts to sound like...
Sorry sorry sorry for posting this here in a Stompbox forum but I didn't know where else to turn....
So I was looking to build RG's simple mixer design but I was thinking that the Pots at the inputs should be much larger for impedance matching.
Circuit:
From what I believe, the line level output impedance from a guitar to be ~500k, and shouldn't the input impedance of the mixer be (~10x?) higher than the output?
Finally, what are the negative consequences of having too high an...
SO....
my brother's studio burned to the ground the other night, total loss...everything gone, pa, recording stuff, ... a bloody nightmare.
he really liked the liberal komrade, so i had given it to him.
it was in the barn when it went up.
so in the spirit of glasnost, i cobbled this thing together for him, gonna give it to him tomorrow, when i bring his brother a new drum set. (also lost in the damn fire)...
this is the liberal komrade, with a couple tweaks.
one thing that always pissed me...
ok, whup out your breadboard and try this one out.
4 fucking parts. (not counting switch/power supply/jacks and enclosure)
this is ONLY for SHITTY, LEAKY LOW-GAIN GERMANIUM TRANSISTORS.
it's so fuckin' simple i won't even post a schematic. try one on your breadboard, and let me know what you think.
hfe's best between 10-60. high hfe and non-leaky ge or silicon transistors do not work. the leakage of the transistor is what makes it work.... this was designed to be a good sounding boost with...
Hi,
I have just prototyped a Tonebender MKII (first pedal build) using these schematics, however there is no indication of where to place a 3PDT. The circuit is working however it cant be turned off. Could somebody instruct me on how to add the 3PDT to turn it off and on, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mac (aka Marcelo Tripodi) posted a schematic over at DIYSB called Tres Hombres, the original thread can be found here:
It's intended for use with low gain Ge transistors, but Mac suggests low gain silicon would also work. I tried out some 2n2222 and BC107, both of which gave almost exactly 4.5v at their collectors when the collector resistors were raised from 10 to 15k (Mac suggests increasing the base->ground resistors to 33k, advice that works equally well, but I didn't notice until after...
Okay, I haven't built this yet. Had to clean up my desk for holiday visits, so I won't get to until next weekend. In the meantime, I thought I'd post this and ask if I'm missing anything huge, making any obvious oversights.
The idea is, signal goes to unity gain op amp buffer, signal then splits into two separate paths. One has a high pass filter on it and the other has a low pass filter. In both cases the roll-off point can be manipulated by a pot, with the same range for both pots.
