Re: EHX Crayon
Just traced a Crayon, it is almost an exact copy of the BB Preamp. The EQ caps are slightly different and all the electrolytics are 10uF, even the NP ones. But that's the only difference. Treble caps are 36nF and the base caps are 5.1nF.

Re: Devi Ever/Effector 13: Truly Beautiful Disaster
I've seen that configuration used in some analog synth circuits as part of the noise generator, it usually gets passed onto two filters that produce white and pink noise.... :hmmm: what`s pink noise? like when i hear my neighbors fucking through the wall? Technically colours are used to describe di...

Re: Fulltone - OCD [traced]
I'm very familiar with version 4 boards. More than you know. Since you sold the pedal and therefore cannot illustrate your point with pictures, I guess the point is moot.

Re: Fulltone - OCD [traced]
I kind of like the TL082. With its jfet inputs and bipolar output it sounds good in a lot of circuits. The 2262 being all MOSFETs can sound good on their own being overdriven as they clip nicely, but as a buffer they always sound 'flat' to me. Plus there's the max 16V supply issue. I've reworked 100...

No, for one, the Fat Bastard is inverting, the boost side of the GT500 is not.sevinisthenumber wrote:Is the boost side of this simply a Fat Bastard?!

Re: Fulltone - GT-500
Gyrators have very limited dynamic range But seemingly enough for about any commercial graphic EQ on the market. True, because they are typically used on the inverting input to an opamp where the signal swing is minimal. If you want to use it in any other configuration such that it acts on the full...

Re: Fulltone - GT-500
There was some rumor that the boost section was very similar to the Fat boosted that you can find on General guitar gadgets (the AMZ minibooster / fat booster story again?). For the distortion side you could look at any number of fet overdrives, look on Run Off Groove (Eighteen, English Channel, Ma...

Re: fet muff
I might be missing some theory, but I still have a question : Why is there only one diode in the feedback path on the FETs instead of two in the original big muff ? This diode thing bugs me also. Since the capacitor is charged in one direction by the diode, it has no discharge path, except for the ...

I think that I noticed one more thing. I counted 15 resistors on PCB. Schematic have only 14. To make things more complicated I found another picture of the PCB which has... 16 resistors!

So there is no functional difference between different types of unpolarized or between polarized? How about between unpolarized and polarized? Can I substitute a polarized for an unpolarized and vice-versa, or are they strictly not interchangeable? You can substitute polarized for unpolarized if th...

Re: Determining capacitor type from schematic?
When I look at a schematic and see various unpolarized capacitor circuit symbols, how do I decide what type (i.e., polyester film, electrolytic, maybe others I haven't learned about yet) I should use in a build? You try as many as you can in all the locations of your circuit. You compile a list of ...

Anyone run across a source for these? And yes, I know I could 'roll my own' but the forum is Part Sourcing.

Pretty close to an MXR Phase 100 as I expected but slightly different. All component numbering is the same as it is on the board.
