can enyone say something about this simple circuit?
is it like the Fuzz Face,or it is different?
schematic?



p.s.

.... Alex Frias is not going to understand this kind of humor..... :applause:
sorry Alex...I know that there is 8 filter array......bla bla bla......but some guts? or schem??? :thumbsup

I found this......https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21/ ... dsmall.jpg

but how would you make switching those filters? any ideas?

and patent from moog...http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4117413.html

sequencer like in seekwah?.........help me please :|

No. Just a 1/4 octave high mid-treble equalizer. Its output is mixed with original signal so it basically produces a kind of comb filter response.

It's more complicated than FF's, pal!
It will get one or two transistors more!!!

:thumbsup I know.......but I am ready if you are ( just need some good pictures)......and help from my friends.... :thumbsup
we all could do anything........that is why this beaytiful place is called FREESTOMPBOXES

AND everybody DON'T FORGET THAT!!!!!!!!! :hug:

Ah, the filter schem you have looks like the "combats aural fatigue" filter Moog patented and which was used in the Norlin Lab series guitar amps.

For the most part the murf isn't a mystery. 8 graphic eq filters; each filter has its own VCA (voltage controlled amplifier). A micro-controller (PIC, atmel AVR, etc.) handles the sequencing and envelope generation. The unknown is how it does the frequency modulation of all 8 filters at once ('chorus'). There are many obvious ways to do this, but they involve additional circuitry for each filter. IMO the frequency modulation is some side effect of the filter construction which makes the modulation easily implemented.

If you want to clone this, practice your micro-controller programming... :block:

Some guts. Looks like a dual-tiered PCB. I'm returning it today so I wasn't too hot on taking it all apart, but there's the first part.

:shock: holeeeeee...

O.K., maybe the sequencer is analog! Did you happen to see what kind of chips are in there?

thank you.................but it looks very easy to build and even easier to trace :hmmm:

.........like superhardon :( :? :blackeye :blackeye :blackeye
