Re: Sound Sample Help

Direct to the computer's mic jack would be the cheapest way. Build a little preamp pedal to boost the signal some. Use Microsoft's Sound recorder to capture the audio.

Re: BAJA Real Tube Drive pedal project [documentation]

Grathan, there isn't much wiring to do ! If you check the pcb i believe that there are only 3 wires to connect, one of them is used to ground the chassis ( near the 3pdt switch) and the other two to connect the led near the 7915. Great, now if I only knew where the components went I'd be all set. :?

Re: Group Order of Way Huge Aqua Puss PCBs

I waited to see if I could get a chip before I ordered a board. :slap: If anyone decides they have an extra board they don't need I would be very happy to buy one.

Re: Van Amps Sole-mate or Reverbamate

Re: Tone Generation for debug/building

looks neat, of course I messed it up... :roll: On the RG keen Twin Tee iscillator 1.) does this require 2 seperate 9v sources or can I just jumper the 9v+ hookups together? 2.) Is that a connection where the lines cross under the 4.7k? 3.) how do you hook this up? Let's say I have an input and outpu...

Tone Generation for debug/building

Looking for some ideas since strumming a guitar while testing can be such a hassle. hooking up an ipod that loops a recorded guitar signal? This seems like it might work, but is the signal even ac? Is there a way to make this work so that the output of the effect being tested gives similar results l...

Re: Van Amps Sole-mate or Reverbamate

I'm sorry I was misunderstood. It does have a few other components. I can't recall them all off the top of my head, but they weren't uncommon. I think mouser had everything except the dual ganged pot and the accutronix tank.

Re: Just Trashed a Rocktron Sonic Glory.

I really like the 45w hollow tip bulb sucker that Radio Shack has. I haven't done any IC chips yet, but it does clean the hole pretty good. At 45 watts it's fast and at like $12 it's also cheap.

There isn't much in it. Couple 2200uf caps and the tank with some voltage regulating.

Re: Looking for solid state relays.

I'm looking at the sparkledrive circuit.

Is that a switch to avoid using a true bypass switch? or is it part of the effect circuit? I'm just wondering if I can save this optoisolator for an expandora circuit instead...

Re: sharp pc419 or ma856?

Thanks, It is for the Expandora. I will try the nte3085 which was cross referenced at Mouser for the H11F1 and the H11F3.
