Re: earthquaker devices monarch [gut shot]

what is that wire on the side of B-?
you are right: the wire "B-" goes to the dc jack battery connection ... right next to the "B-" is a ground pad (G) that goes to the input jack.

Re: earthquaker devices monarch [gut shot]

seems like Earhquaker changed to multilayered pcbs lately :?

I found a lot of seemingly non-collected pads (I marked these blue), which seem to be connected on a non-visible layer, so I guess it wont make sense to put more effort into tracing my friend's board, right?
any ideas are welcome.

Re: earthquaker devices monarch [gut shot]

IMO, as far as those pico caps go, they're probably more like 100n, 220n and 47n. I understand where you are aiming at ... I expectetd these to be bigger caps too but here's what they are reading Only film caps (all 100V), from upper left to down right: 474J, 102J, 223J, 222J, 472J, 102J, 103J, 471...

Re: earthquaker devices monarch [gut shot]

Hi, I hope there are still some people interested in this pedal. I borrowed a friend's monarch for a couple of days and tried to decipher the components ... really having problems with the resistor codes ... my red-green-colour-blindness isn't of any help there :) Hope someone can help with the unce...

Re: Vemuram Jan Ray (Traced) [traced]

Hi, has anyone the chance to take a closer at the Vemuram Rage e ? Following their argumentation that after 3 years of hard R&D they accidentally come up with something similar to the Timmy circuit I could imagine that after another three years of R&D they might invent another box of rock .....

Boss OC-2 debugging *drives me insane* [schematic]

Dear gentlemen, a couple of weeks ago I built a Boss OC-2 which since then I'm trying to bring to life, but this very project seems to be suicidal or something :scratch: :? ... it won't just work and sound proper. I'm really desperate and ask for your help. I built it after Harald Sabros great vero ...

I was afraid that you bought your ICs there but hoped for another source since the seller vanished.

Re: Catalinbread - Naga Viper [traced]

That little blue capacitor might very well be a 47pf "smoothing" cap as it can be found as optional cap in ROG's Whisker Biscuit. It reduces the amount of treble for a a more "velvet-like" sound as they (ROG) say.

Tim Escobedo's Psychtar on Vero

Hi there, I stumbled upon a sound sample of Tim Escobedo's Psychtar and pretty much liked it. So I tried to put the schematic into a vero layout (my first layout btw). I would be glad if some expert eyes could have a look on it and cross-check my layout. schematic: http://folkurban.com/Site/Psychtar...
