No I had in mind clone of the original uni-vibe. But I can't reach the sound of the original one, while Tube-Vibe is very near. At least nearer than mine. :D And of course it is based on tubes- insane! :twisted:

No problem. Just writing posts with emot icons would not speed anything up furthermore it make trash from a good thread. Unfortunately we have to wait. I am very excited about this pedal guts to see too, but as I said- waiting is our only option for now. So stay tuned! :wink:

You can use pedal , or CV source from 0-5 volt.....

so there is no wah-wah option as I have ffound earlier......

Start tracing gentlemen... I'll leave the pedal apart for now as there will be lots to check I'm sure.
I hope the pics are clear enough and OK, but I can email originals or more as requested if you PM your email.
The resistors are hard to read, made worse by the fact that I'm partially colourblind :) We'll work around it :

THANKS! Now for the request:

Get some light and take as clear a shot as you can of one grouping of resistors by a tube and the small group of components by the lower left of the board.

I can help get resistor codes and I can help trace.

No worries, take yer time. :)

I'm already thinking of using 12BH7's instead of the 12AT7's. and maybe a few other ideas. 8)
