EHX - Signal Pad [schematic]

Seems like there's some interest around this pedal so here's the lowdown:
1 meg (log) pot wired as a volume control. 220p (ceramic) cap to ground off the input.
Simple. No battery required.

hi, i'm new at building effects and have been interested in this pedal. could you post a wiring diagram of this? thanks
are you sure the cap goes to ground?
would've thought it'd be a treble bypass something like this: http://seymourduncan.ru/new/s/treble-bleed_mod.jpg

I know it's a fairly simple design but i'm having trouble figuring out how to put it together. Anyone have any tips.
+1 please!! Probably a simple voltage divider network, but I've heard about the use of inductors to retain high end so unsure of the internals. Or if there are any other designs that achieve the same thing I would be interested in ideasxmugmugmugx wrote:I know it's a fairly simple design but i'm having trouble figuring out how to put it together.

Thanks - I might just build this into a pedal!fergus_nz wrote:are you sure the cap goes to ground?

treat it like an effect, and look at the standard effects wrappers on Beavis Audio or Geofex.nickeroo wrote:I am a pedal "n00b". How would one make the above description:

Yup.What would I do with the V+ pad on the board? Just wire the + of the LED right to the power jack?
Yup.Input and output pads would be the lugs on the volume pot?

Well, I wired it up but it is VERY noisy on or off.
When I turn the effect on and turn the vol pot it turns to very loud humming quickly (no guitar).
When I put the effect in the metal box, the effect stops working.
I reckon I have a grounding problem??
I wired the Sleeve of stereo jack onto the vol pot. Also sleeve of the mono jack to vol pot.
I wired the vol pot like a guitar, input from effect to first lug, middle lug is output, centre lug to vol pot casing.
I do not think it should be this hard!

Try connecting the ground lug to the grounds of the in and output jacks, instead of to itself.

Since I got one for free with a decent designed eq of another brand;

Not worth the wear of my screwdriver... So far for innovation.

Wooo. And nice output impedance when it's actually in use.
"Treble pad" might be a better name...

If you mean you lose treble when you turn down the level pot, then you could probably add a so-called 'treble bleed' cap and resistor in parallel across pins 2 and 3 of the pot, like what is done for guitar wiring. Typical values are say R=150K and C=1nF.bobo wrote:When turn down pot the tone also changed. Anyone can advise how to mod it. Thank you
Try it out with some test leads with alligator clips first, see if it makes an acceptable difference.

Yes, it will lose treble when turn down the level pot. I will try per your information. Thank you
And does this scheme work like a RC-filter, doesn't it? What about to remove C2 wiring to the ground to avoid the tone changing?
