Re: Dumbloid [traced]

These guys looking for a $100 $600 dollar pedal... Those posts by these guys are pure comedy over on tgp. Some people tried to step in and explain that these SUPERDUPER pedals are nothing but simple circuits and need hype to sell. That hype came right from these guys on this thread. This Dumb pedal...

an Overpriced OD?
gooped?
sounds like a Dumble? :whappen:
raving about it at TGP?

It has to be some elaborate FSB prank surely? :lol:
The Dumbloid thread on TGP is hilarious, some truly idiotic comments on there. There's gonna be some egg on faces when this turns out to be some Zendrive rip-off.

totaly normal,not the same pieces, you're cheating. your iskras are 1/3w, not1/2w as required for an autentic build. you mustards 0,68uf are either radial or in the beginning of the bids . check this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mullard-Mustard-Capacitor-0-68-MFD-selected-3-160-V-New-Old-Stock-/36062...

Re: Amp parts : pack of iskras - piher - mustards - micas ..

I like mojo parts and I don't mind paying the market price for them, so I don't want to get into an argument with anyone about whether they are worth paying for. But I just roughly calculated the market price for those parts, even going by inflated ebay prices, and it comes to between $200-$300 at t...

Re: Mxr - Blue Box

Worked up this vero layout a few months ago, figured someone else might want to use it. Verified by me. mxrbluebox.gif I think the orientation of Q1, Q2 and Q3 in hewie's vero is wrong. the emitters should be grounded, so they should be flipped around (if using 2N3904). http://t1.gstatic.com/images...

Analogman - Sun Bender [traced]

Supposedly a Tonebender Mk1.5, but looks to me like a Sunface with OC-type trannys.

Re: Rogue Sound - Hatchet Harry & Blind Mary

And here's vero for Mary. Grasp (Level) pot value is not verified, but linear 100K should work fine (if it's to treble can be changed to 470K). C1 capacitor value is not confirmed, C5 as well. For C1 should be something between 1nF to 10nF - 5.6nF is good place to start for classic treble ranges. F...

Re: Vox - Repeat Percussion (V 809) [schematic]

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/38f1l.jpg This is the version I've been building in to the Sonic Boom 3 in One pedals. It has more than enough tweakability for anything I've ever needed out of this effect. You can dial back the depth and cut pots and get a basic amp like tremolo. Dial the depth b...

Re: Baby Fuzz [gutshots]

I'm wondering if the 100u IS off the emitter. Pretty big though. I reckon it does come off the emitter. and I'd bet there's a 2.7k resistor hiding behind that electro too. I've got it on the breadboard now (with BC107s, gains around 220) set up like that, basically a Vox Distortion Booster without ...
