Re: Baja Presence and Resonance 091118 [documentation]

I have trouble with these thin traces and the very small footprint of the pads. Sorry to hear that. I can widen the tracks and enlarge the pads, but It's not possible to make all the tracks wider. There is some tight places and I'd have to keep current track width. Signal tracks are 16mils wide now...

Hi Helge, P@R build doc for download - resonance_presence_build_doc.pdf . btw - in my opinion, for this type of device, 3pdt is not necessary. T. Thank you Temol! Very much appreciated. Unfortunately is a bit beyond the limitations when using the toner transfer method - at least with my setup. I ha...

Re: Baja Presence and Resonance 091118 [documentation]

bmxguitarsbmx - thanks for the link to the interview. And here is my version of the P&R. It fits into 1590B. Maybe I should work on it again and try to squeeze the board into 1590a. Smd maybe... I'm working on a graphic for the enclosure. [ Image ] T. Hi Temol, would you mind to share this layo...

Re: Half Gain Switch on SuperFuzz

Hi,

to get the half gain option with the superfuzz just make the 10µF cap from the Emitter of Q2 to ground switchable. Did that on mine. Works perfect. To turn of the octave I just put in a switch that simply jumpers Q4-Q5. It's a crude solution but works.

Re: BAJA TWE amplifier overdrive pedal 9v 130218

Maybe gain isn't the right expression. The emulation imho is missing a lot of the heavy compression and saturation the real amp seems to have (though of course I never played one).

Re: BAJA TWE amplifier overdrive pedal 9v 130218

... hm, but the real amp has quite some gain on top which this pedal is kinda missing. Had the same issue with the diezel amp emulation. So far only the SLO and the AFD emus had similar distortion levels compared with the amp in my opinion.

It's fairly low gain. Is that correct?

Kind regards,

I made this vero but the gain acts more as a volume control. Looking for a second set of eyes to see where I went wrong.

Had the same issue with it using the pcb layout. So it might be an inherent problem with the design itself.

Re: Catalinbread - VariOboost preamplifier [traced]

Only downside for me: I can't find a resource for CEM1 copper clad in Germany. Only sources I can find are in the US or Taiwan. The material itself isn't very expansive but the shippng is -.-. So if any of the European forum members do read this and do know a resource for CEM1 in Europe I'd be very...

Awesome tidy build. Any chance to share that layout? Or did I just missed it in this thread? Thanks in advance!

Cool, nice job! Thank you, really like this method of enclosure design at the moment. It's kinda of a poor mans way of having a custom laser engraved vinyl panel.

Wiring of the triple wreck is probably very crucial. Built my clone according to the effectslayouts.blogspot.com layout (the one with interrupted gnd plane) in a 1590B without the boost section. Mine does also oscillate past 3 o'clock setting. Never managed to adress the problem properly, since in t...
