Human Gear - Animato [traced]
Hi guys
This is not my work. A user on reddit posted this yesterday:

He paid 500 AUD just to get a hold of this baby and dissect it.
Looks like it's based on a big muff with an interesting twist. Gooped, but not that hard to trace.
It would be cool to get your input to have this fully traced and confirmed.

Hey, thanks for sharing it around Also thanks for the discussion. You ended up being right after I took another look at the circuit board and noticed the traces around that PCB
It's getting a lot of support so thank you everyone. The revision I have up now looks right when I compared it to other pedals that I would believe it is based on (Dallas Rangemaster?/BMP).
It is my first attempt at reverse engineering a pedal so I knew I wasn't going to get it right straight away. It's a learning experience for me.
I'm probably going to have to keep this pedal now, since I assume the price will plummet. Also... it actually sounds damn good with my bass.

Give you guys the heads up that the schematic works. While I haven't been able to replicate it 100% as it is, I managed to get a very close sounding version with some lower gain, silicon transistors.
I'll get around to boxing one in a week or so, just going to sit tight and wait for the parts. The germanium transistors may take a while though.

the tilt circuit is on the output.albru80 wrote:Hi John!
Usual great job!
What values did you use for your tilt control?
How did you wire it?
I used 10ns on tilt so the center freq of the tilt is 504hz.

Hi again, got the clone working. The clone has loads more gain, has ever so slightly less mids but has less noise and sounds clearer IMO.
Not a pretty pedal by any means but I just wanted function over form.
Put some sound clips up for a listen. I'll have to fix one error in the schematic where C9 is put in the wrong way around. Also should note that with this much gain, you don't need to pump the treble booster too much so you can dial the trimpot pretty low when you set it up. Or you can muck around and see where it takes you. Just be warned, I mean it when I say it has lots of gain.

On the contrary, look at first series Klons and their prices. In addition, you got promoted to Degoop Doctor.Crowella wrote:I'm probably going to have to keep this pedal now, since I assume the price will plummet. Also... it actually sounds damn good with my bass.
We also need a direct link to last version (v9) if that's correct:

Whoa, honoured by that title. Was genuinely not expecting that.modman wrote:On the contrary, look at first series Klons and their prices.

This is the current revision, 1.10 which corrected an error in one of the capacitor polarities.
I haven't made a PCB yet that I would put up here. Mine is extremely compact and probably not ideal.

Yep, what John said. Basically, any low gain gemanium pair should suffice and will give you plenty of oomph. The trimpot should give you more than enough range to play around with. and IMO, you won't need to set it terribly high either.
You can even use one germanium and one silicon transistor and still get good effect. I've used a AC128 and a 2N5088 together with good results.
Also, the 22uF mod creates some really nice fuzzy decay tones. I do recommend.
