Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

Hello, great looking build! Could you tell me what switches you used for the Lo-Freq and Guitar/Bass? I'm a little confused on how the switching works for this thing (on/off or on/on, SPDT?). Hey there! You only need a SPST as the different options are achieved by either closing those points or jus...

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

is there anyone out there in FSB land who would be so kind as to etch me a board for one of these? I had an original, years ago, and foolishly sold mine when I wasn't playing much bass... Well now, what are the chances... If you look at the photos I uploaded when I was etching, I actually etched tw...

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

VERIFIED! This is fully working and sounding awesome! Brink's layout is ace and easy to build... all my previous posts about it not working were my errors in not grounding the circuit properly and having the reverse log pot wired the wrong way round... A highly recommended build... :thumbsup http:/...

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

3 things: 1. You should probably have a higher voltage at pin 8 of the opamp. 2. There are spots that look iffy on the trace side with possible solder bridges and cold solder joints. 3. Looks to me like this is an unverified layout so there may be errors there. Check the layout versus the schematic...

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

Hey guys, I'm having a PM chat with Brink about this issue I've got and he's being very helpful trying to help me diagnose the problem... If anyone else has a view or wants to wade in with some help, go right on ahead! :D I haven't tried an audio probe...I haven't got one and am not quite sure what ...

Ok guys, so I need some help here... It's not working... :( All I'm getting is a bunch of noise and no guitar signal at all, nothing mixed in just generated buzz... I can't see what could be wrong and I've been over it and over it... If anyone could look over the photos below and spot anything that ...

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

So I finally got round to starting this last night. All went swimmingly. I really want to finish it, but I have to go away for the weekend now so it'll have to wait til next week til it gets its final components and gets put in a box. Will post when it's all done... http://twitpic.com/show/full/23op...

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info! I will only be using 9V, but I was worried that this was a really integral part of the circuit.
Sweet, will replace it away!

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

Now this really is the last bit I need... What is the consensus on the C10PH diode? Can it be replaced by anything else which is more readily available? I've read all the posts ( Starting here ) and I was wondering what other people used in the C10PH's place..? Or can someone find me a link to wher...

Just use 47k for the rev log, works for me. Feel is a bit different, but that is not annoying at all. Or you buy this one . Awesome, thanks for this link... Now this really is the last bit I need...

Yo ho, So after Brink made this ace small version of the circuit, I'm FINALLY in a position to be getting on with building this and maaaan I cannot wait! The only things is...where the hell does one get a 47k Reverse Log Pot in the UK? I've searched everywhere and am coming up with nowt. The last th...

Re: Crowther Audio - Prunes & Custard

Hi Brink, thanks for posting this up! I can't tell if there are any errors with what you've done (I don't have the skillz!), but I am really wanting to make this so I've ligned up a friend who is going to etch the board for me so I can get soldering... Can we work from this image, or do I/we need an...
