Re: MN3005 genuine or not?

Hi,

I bought two mn3005's of the same seller.
They arrived today. 1 is good the other is not working at all.

The sellers account was already removed by Ebay when I wanted to get in contact with him today.

Any of you know about this.

Thanks

Re: Aquaboy ver.2 - Aqua Puss board ordering info and document [documentation]

Well, I tried the trim pot idea and it did not work. t is still distorted. Only way to fix is turning down guitar volume. Initial sound is fine, but delay signal distorts especially on low notes. I started by setting bias to pass signal and then adjusted clock to get rid of whine. Cancel made no au...

Re: Aquaboy ver.2 - Aqua Puss board ordering info and document [documentation]

Sounds like lots of people are building this with the Cool Audio v3205. Is this working as well as the MN3205? I have a board and am getting ready to build it up. I'd like to hear your opinions. Where has everyone been getting their BBD chips? I have build this with madbeans pcb and abfackeln's mod...

Re: Analog Delay Add-Ons - Double Time, Modulation, Exp

I checked the soldering and that turned out ok. Changed the LDR (tried a few) and that made a difference. I can now use the whole range of the depth pot without the delay cutting out. That is good, but with the depth pot down I still have modulation. Is there something I can do to have all the modu...

Re: Analog Delay Add-Ons - Double Time, Modulation, Exp

@ gitaar0.... Have you checked all of your connections? Sounds like a potentially bad solder joint somewhere. Have you tried a different photocell/LDR value? I checked and double checked them, but I will sure check them again. I have not had the chance to change the LED/LDR combo. I will do that to...

Re: Menatone - Red Snapper (schem inside)

Sorry if this is 'resurrection day' for me, but I was playing/modding some pedals this weekend. I'd like a bit more bite/treble out of my Red Snapper; I built mine on the 'Snapster' layout PCB. I removed the 'Bite' trimpot, so the 1k resistor goes directly to ground. This helped a little since I se...

Re: Clinch FX - Ep-Pre ( Echoplex Preamp )

Hi, I have build the Ep Pre from the Fatpants layout, but I build it on perfboard. It works really well. Great sound. I do run into a strange problem. If I use the pedal in front of a VB-2 clone ( BYOC version of the Boss Vibrato) I hera a constant swooshing sound. I figured out that it had to do wi...

Re: Xotic - AC Booster [ goop-alarm ] [traced]

I worked some more on the AC booster as build according to the perf layout.

I changed C4 (.1uf) to 10nf and now it has a much better frequency range.
I would recommend putting C4 on a socket so you can adjust it to your taste.
