Re: Runoffgroove - Thunderbird Preamp

Thank you for explaining. I was hopeful that your intention was positive. Would you please add the circuit name and appropriate credit to runoffgroove.com on your images?

Re: Runoffgroove - Thunderbird Preamp

It's nice to see interest in our work. However, I'm a bit confused why there is a need to redraw the schematic and share it publicly with no attribution to runoffgroove.com when a link to the project page was provided. The project page contains a link to purchase a high-quality multi-layer PCB and w...

Re: ACE THIRTY

Th ROG Englsih Channel was a complete waste of time in my opinion. The only thing it did somewhat well was mimic the EQ curve on clean settings and that was it. There were NO Brian May high gain tones in that box at all....very farty or fuzz like. I just scavenged parts from that kit last night for...

Re: JHS SuperBoat [traced]

Until the side effects have been worked out (such as turning all body hair blue and developing an irresistible urge to yodel nude on a pogo stick in public), I'd prefer to not disclose our time machine schematic. Just for the public good, you know? I'm offering a modest reward for someone who can pr...

Re: LPD MegaDEN Bass Fuzz

Hi groovenut, i have a question. In the schematic you listed D1 as 1N4148, but in the layour you placed a 1N914, you think using a 1N34A would neglect the fuzz? I found that a Ge diode drastically reduced the output level and the character of the fuzz wasn't different enough from the Si to justify ...

Re: Jason Becker Pro Tone pedal - pictures [traced]

A few years back, I was alerted (by a respectful and conscientious friend to runoffgroove.com) that the ProTone Boom Box was actually a Tonemender. Doesn't look like that one is part of the current lineup anymore, though.

Re: ROG Peppermill

I haven't been disappointed really by anything that ROG has provided. Some of the projects clearly needed a lot of alterations for my specific uses, but that is almost always clearly stated by ROG. And I think that is what intrigues me to build what they design. Well now, reading that made my day! ...

Re: Colorsound Power Boost tracing files [schematic]

Allow me to clarify.

In the non-Master mod layout, the instrument jack tip wire connects to the pole of the DPDT that will make contact with C12, the circuit output. The amplifier jack tip wire connects to the pole of the DPDT that will make contact with C1, the circuit input.

At first glance, the input/output jacks are reversed in both layouts.

I think you are the perfect person to breadboard it and record a killer demo.

Re: Question about the ROG splitter blend

Thanks for clarifying, I think that I found my next project. This thing sounds incredibly useful. Time to start ordering parts :) By the way, how do you accomplish this trick? I use a normally closed jack for the Send of the Red channel so that when no plug is inserted, the Red Send and Return are ...

Re: Question about the ROG splitter blend

The FET buffer provides a high impedance input for the phase reversal network.

I use a normally closed jack for the Send of the Red channel so that when no plug is inserted, the Red Send and Return are connected.

Re: tri-vibe on ROG

Further experimentation shows that it is worth adding another two phase stages (switchable) and using capacitors of 15n and 5n6 in them. You get inherently deeper phasing sounds, and the pseudo-leslie effect available is really quite convincing! It's also worth experimenting with stereo output - yo...

Re: tri-vibe on ROG

righto.. have been crook with a cold, but finally tested this.. issue still appears on both low and high impedance.. it's not insanely quieter, but notably... also quieter when depth is on zero.. possibly a bad build? possibly my layout is bad? regardless, would a volume pot (in the spot suggested ...

Re: tri-vibe on ROG

I just checked my Tri-Vibe with three different valve amps and found no volume drop.

Will you please check for a difference in output level between bypassed and the Tri-Vibe engaged with Depth at minimum in Vibe mode?

Re: tri-vibe on ROG

so my 1590a build out on its own (into a ruby ss amp) is not bad, but output vol is slightly low (not much)... into my valve amp it's more noticeable.. I'm wondering if its possible to raise the output vol.. would increasing the 100K at the output do that? if not.. what could I do? any suggestions?...

Amazing work! I'm often in awe of builds in the A-sized enclosure, but seeing a Tri-Vibe in one is particularly mind-blowing.

How do you like its sound?
