Re: Emma Electronic Discombobulator

Found this online. Anyone know if it's correct and/or what the missing values are? guess the values from the MXR could be subbed in for the missing values.

Re: Verellen Amplifiers - Big Spider fuzz

Few years later but got the tone cap values for this and it's a the Standard Wau Fuzz values with 120nF rather than the 100nF in Analog guru (?) schematic online. 3.3nF and 22nF caps are the same.

Re: Zvex - Box of Metal [traced]

Hi all, Kind of reviving an old thread, I chose this pedal as my first build and I'm quite happy with the results, no issues so far. :D However, I'm not that happy with the eq section, I find it quite heavy and undefined on low frequencies. Have you tried doing any mods to the tone stack?, any reco...

Re: MXR micro chorus [schematic]

TL061's triangular wave won't reach SAD's pin 1, never. At pin 1 will arrive the clock from Q3's collector. This is the signal you must check. You won't hear it with an audio probe 'cause it is tenths of KHz... That makes total sense. I could hear a hiss which would be that tens of KHz, checked on ...

Re: MXR micro chorus [schematic]

TL061 IS the LFO, it does just modulate the clock... ...clock provided by the astable oscillator build with Q3 and Q4 (if you follow my schematic). Check the clock (almost) square waveform at SAD's pin 1. I know the TL061 is the LFO, problem is that I was using an audio probe last night and could h...

Re: MXR micro chorus [schematic]

Hey I'm wondering/hoping if maybe someone here could help me, I have an old Micro Chorus here and I'm getting no delay signal. I've traced signal to the input of the SAD512. I've also traced clock from the TL061 and along the way at one of the transistors it changes from a steady thump to a low volu...

Is the patent just for the layout of the knobs on a hammond enclosure or what does ornamentation mean in the claim section of the patent?

Re: Banzai System is flawed!

I've always been happy with Banzai, but they pissed me off royally the other day by upgrading their system while I had my cart full with about 200 items. Yeah, of course all those items are gone from my cart now, to be entered manually all over again. I've also just noticed that the resistor price ...

Re: Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz

Almost identical to the GGG tuned Muff, even if they claim it isn't. There's a thread on talkbass.com comparing the two with good quality pics of both.

Re: Zvex - SHO (Super Hard On) [traced]

A quick question (apologies if it has been covered before, spent a long time going through the various threads and couldn't find an answer). If I keep the two 1N4148 diodes and also have the 9.1v zener, is this an issue? Are they mutually exclusive, or the intention was to have either or but would ...

Re: EH - Metal Muff [schematic]

Hi could anyone confirm the value of R52 on the EHX schematic is 10 Ohm or have a gut shot of the pedal that I could check it on?

While I'm here any ideas how that component would be fried? I'd presume it's due to using a dodgy power supply of some sort.

Re: Dwarfcraft Devices - The Great Destroyer [traced]

I'm fairly sure I can see the jumper in Aen's pics. Maybe PM the man himself, either here or on Ilovefuzz and he may confirm it for ya.

I still say just build it and see, you'll learn lots from debugging it if it doesn't work.

Re: Dwarfcraft Devices - The Great Destroyer [traced]

So I decided to mess with Diy Layout Creator and started with this because it's pretty simple. Here's the layout I came up with based on Entropicp's schematic. I'm sure it's not entirely perfect but it's a decent start I think. If you spot any errors please let me know. Could someone take a look at...
