Re: Danelectro Fabtone

before swapping out a whole potentiometer, first try tacking a 15k (for a 100k pot) resistor from the volume pot wiper to lug 1 (ground in this case) it's a sneaky way of tapering a variable voltage divider that will give you about 19% of the input level at half of the sweep. check out The Secret Li...

You're right!
R6 is 470R, what a fool I am.

Re: Fender Pugilist Distortion [schematic]

I don't understand this circuit. The NPN part looks like a Capacitance multiplier, which is just an Emitter follower with nicely filtered voltage at the Base. You can make followers in the form of a Sziklai pair, so possibly all these parts could make a "Sziklai Pair Capacitance Multiplier&quo...

DNA Analogic - Smoky Fuzz [schematic]

Cool pedal. Felt like more of a distortion than a fuzz, and a trace reveals why. That sense control is super interesting too. The only component I couldn't positively identify was D1, generic looking silicon power diode with the only visible markings being "L7". It's only doing sacrificial...

Re: Core Shaper Parametric Eq [documentation]

Thank you for this little gem Dylan. It does excellent job and then some :) Considering I'm borderline ignorant when it comes to electronics ( just above soldering skills :D ) i have a question. Can it be dirtied up a little? I was thinking inserting TS like clipping and of course it would be switc...

Re: MOStache Overdrive [documentation]

Very cool project, thanks for sharing. Any sound clips? It occurs to me that this would make a nice preamp for a clean solid state power amp stage, I don't have a fantastic recording setup at the moment but I can try to get something recorded if there is interest. also thank you, that is almost exa...

Yes. It's on the schem and the layout but I probably could have made it clearer.

Re: King Tone Blues Power

The four diodes in the second stage also almost certainly do nothing since it's a unity-gain stage and there's no signal to clip after the first stage. unless I've missed something, IC1B looks very much like a textbook non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 2 (6dB) plus a low pass cap and some feed...

Re: Harly Benton od-5 overdrive

might not be quite the right place for your question but the mods haven't moved it yet so idk.

from the description it seems like this od-5 probably isn't too far off a JHS Moonshine or a Maxon OD820. Schematics for both of those are available from pedalpcb.com or aionfx, respectively

Fender Pugilist Distortion [schematic]

I watched a few demos of this when it came out and thought it was a really cool concept, but was outside of my price range at the time. Luckily, I managed to get a good deal on one second hand. I opened it up out of curiosity, expecting it to be full of SMT. Much to my surprise I was met with a doub...

Oh! Dee Pre 2500

A fun variation on the classic D+/250 style circuit that nobody asked for. I like the original but wanted a little more flexibility from it. 2500.PNG IC1 is a precision Vref supply which I like to include when I can. IC2 is a super useful variable capacitance multiplier, borrowed from the page on gy...

Re: Wobble Box Chorus/Vibrato

Hey man I was wondering, is there a way to make the LFO more even in terms of wave shape? To make the chorus modulation smoother instead of having a major dip like a vinyl emulation pedal i'm not sure if you've seen this but it might be closer to what you're after. https://www.freestompboxes.org/vi...

With that short min delay, I would imagine this chip would be ideal for an ADT type effect. Asbesto, does your project do that? Might also work great for flanging. Analog Double Tracker? Automatic Double Tracker? Not entirely sure what ADT means here but it almost certainly could, with a little twe...

tone isn't quite passive since the signal cut from the +ve input is boosted in the output. tone gets thinner as roll the knob up.
