Sweet! Thx for the heads up RNFR.

Big thanks to R.G.! (For the umpteenth time...)

Maybe this should be moved to the "pimp my pedal" section on FSB. ? I have searched high and low on the internet for a definitive Ibanez TB switching guide (Boss too?) and there is absolutely nothing definitive to help one make this happen? I know i am just a beggar with some soldering ski...

So, back on topic ...if I nuked the R41 to Q1 leg and jumpered Q1 G & D would that pass an all on signal...

All help appreciated.
Cheers,
Fuzzca

Wow Dirk! I think I know where you are coming from...Just so you understand, I am wearing my "Save the Soundtanks" T-shirt. I like them too! I use a TL-5 on my main board and it gets used often with one band I play in. I`ve wanted to do this rehouse for quite some time. I have reasons that...

I'd like to rehouse my TL5. Better enlosure/pots & 3PDT switch.

Referencing Dirks schematic: Am I correct in thinking that if I pulled Q1&Q2 (2SK118-0) and jumpered the respective gate and drain points I would bypass the original Ibanez factory switching?

Any help appreciated!

Right on! I am definitely going to try this.

Perhaps this is the link...

Cool!
I checked the link but there is only a forum thread, no tutorial or useful info...

So... while visiting a friend of mine recently, he showed me his Skinpimp (Skin Pimp?) Tonebender Mk III. As a pedal builder, I was completely impressed by the turret board/ point to point build on attractive varnished wood construction! Here are a few pics of the pedal I saw. http://www.bjfe.org/vi...

Wow!, right on Martin. That's a sound clip to be proud of! I built this when you first posted it and it's been on the backburner since. My build didn't seem to be happening sonically so I ordered some of the correct diodes but never got back to it. I have the Bat41's now. I recall on some other thre...

i don't understand this comment. everybody has a chance to donate. and if you donate ANYTHING AT ALL, you get to see the (yet unfinished) schematic.

No offense, for some reason I thought that you had built one when you mentioned that you had played through one.

fuzzca.. that's a thoughtful post and I have to agree with many points. The "solder jockeys" worry me too. I have no problem with someone building it for themselves.. nor with someone who can change the circuit in a meaningful way and sell it as something that sounds different.. that's th...

well, i finally got around to playing through one of these things last night, and i have to say, i just don't get what all the fuss is about. i mean the pedal does very, very little to your guitar signal. and what it does do, could probably be better achieved by just turning up your amp and driving...

Thanks Modman, Exemplary de-gooping work! I have been keen to see what makes the Honey Bee tick.

I m wondering if the tranny is a 2N5458?

Thanks for the schem! Any idea what gain range the 2Sc1815's are? I looked up the 2Sc1815 data sheet and it has a note on the HFE classification: Note: hFE classification O: 70~140, Y: 120~240, GR: 200~400, BL: 350~700 If you still have the unit could you check and see if there are any additional ma...

I built this "on the quick" yesterday and wanted to add a couple of "honey" moon comments. First off, thanks to Soulsonic for the fine efforts. I have a friend who owns an original Honeybee and has sung it's praises to me for a few years now. I had the opportunity to test it out ...

Wow!, that BJF goop must be some powerful shit!

Sure,Gratham, that would be great. When you get the unit back it would be nice to see both of the boards inside, front and back. The patent application has a full schem and parts values but I noticed from the posted pics in this thread that the actual pedal might deviate from the patent application ...

Hey, any chance of a "heads up" on parts to order for the Honey Bee?

No panic, but I was just thinking that it would be nice to have the parts on hand when the schem is revealed.

Just a thought,
Thanks!

Hey! Found this http://www.google.com/patents?id=ReCUAAAAEBAJ&dq=spring+reverb+pedal Is that the Sole Mate? I'm not seeing what's patentable about that design. Pretty mundane driver and recovery circuit. I think it's the Reverbamate due to the schem having a direct out and an effect out. I am p...
