Re: EHX - EH-8000 Guitar Synth [schematic]

Greetings,

Great work, thanks much!

Any opinions regarding playing this device? Good/Bad? Unless it's truly awesome, a full build would be a fairly major undertaking. Are there any sections worth building independently? Thanks again!

Best, Jim

Re: JTEX Shockman - my modern take on the classic Rockman [documentation]

Greetings,

Fantastic project JTEX! I'd like to build one if anyone might be making thru hole PCs available. If not, I may build up in sections; just the distortion amp and compressor for example. Thanks again for the great effort!

Any sound examples?

Regards, Jim

Re: A/DA - Ampulator [schematic]

Greetings,

Interesting project here! Don't think I'd ever seen one of these. Does anyone have experience using one? Any updates on the builds?

Best of luck and thanks!

Re: EHX - NY-2A Optical Compressor

Greetings, NecroBump! If anyone is interested in this thing, I have one in the shop and can take pix, possible trace, etc. It's a fantastic sounding studio compressor, but with poor reliability, as it runs VERY hot. Mine was having an intermittent problem when in use at a friends' studio and I'd not...

Re: Univox - Superfuzz [schematic]

Greetings, I agree here! Back in the mid '70s I had an AC Unifuzz. Somewhere along the line it got swiped from a stage or club or ??? Other than the power supply, what differences are there to the circuit vs the superfuzz? Anyone have an exact schematic for that version? I'd really like to try one a...

Re: Stompboxology Echo-Matic DIY Tape Delay

Greetings,

Cool project, congrats, it sounds good! That's a particularly nice cassette deck you have; I remember when they came out; fairly expensive and were used mostly for ENG & interviews. Good re-purpose of it. Keep up the good work!

Re: Pete Cornish - NG-2

Greetings, Good work on the Vero layout Andy! I'm curious what you think of the sound of the circuit as you built it and what (if anything) was your point of reference (a recording, live show, other pedal, etc.)? In general, in what ways do you find the pedal useful? Thanks for any info. Regards, Jim

Re: Pete Cornish - NG-2

Greetings, As discussion has drifted a bit from the NG2 specifically to "Possum Tone" in general, I was wondering if we should start a new thread or keep it here, but either way, expand it to include ALL and ANY methods of achieving the "super saturated, amp death sound", as exem...

Re: Pete Cornish - NG-2

Greetings, I'm about to order one of the "Nugget" PCBs. Palelight, did you put buffers on both the input and output (typical PeteC) or just the input? Thought I saw someone offering empty "PeteC" buffer PCBs, but can't seem to find them.........anyone know? Thanks all! Figure it'...

Re: Pete Cornish - NG-2

Greetings! Ah, fellow Possum-tone hounds! I'd for sure contribute to this in Lou's memory and an attempt to get THAT tone. I've gotten close using series connected distortion boxes and some tube stuff that I've built, but not exact enough. BTW, the live sound on that tour was unbelievable! Saw them ...

Re: mesa boogie throttle box diode substitute

Greetings,

Perhaps a 1N914? I've seen them listed as alternates for the 1N4148 in plenty of equipment. Good luck!

Re: Hammond scanner guitar effect project released..

Greetings, Fantastic project JP! I'd thought about doing that 25 years or so ago, but never got to it. My "paper version" was nowhere as sophisticated as yours. I'm very impressed with your workmanship, coding, etc. Really great job. FYI, seems there is also now a commercial product made f...
