Amptweaker's first pedal design... lots of similarities to the Tight Metal/Tight Rock, but stripped down a bit. Less gain, no noise gate, a bit less tone shaping, no switches.

Schematic:

Danelectro Pastrami switching

Hey all, anyone know what chip is used for the switching circuit of this pedal?

One is a 4053, the marking on the other is faded, it looks like a 4013.

The effect switches on and off but the LED won't turn on
Led is okay
I tried a few 4013's and it only switches momentarily
They're used but I doubt all four are bad

Anyway I can always use one of the other flip flops of the original chip, whatever it is

Thanks

I got one in as it was cutting out while gigging. The IC socket was really loose and I could almost let the IC fall out of the socket. I added a new socket and now the unit functions again like it should.

Anybody know what chip is used in the switching circuit for this pedal?

One is a CD4053, the other the markings are worn away.
I think it looks like a 4013, but it won't latch.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I started advanced projects since I crafted tons of simple and intermedium pedals and amps.

This is a really challenge since there are a lot of components.

Here the schematic:

I thought I'd put this up a while ago but apparently I didn't. True story.

A friend asked me to pad the XLR output on his and it would have been rude not to trace it out. This is the original one, and an early one at that (lots of mods/hacks on the PCB to make it functional). The only bit I'm not 100% on is the output buffer, it used a 4066 for switching in a way I haven't seen before and I only had it for an evening so I had to give it back. The caps were SMT, measured in circuit and removed...

Anyone know anything about these or have a schematic?

It sounds like one will be coming my way in the future for repair, so if no schem is available there will certainly be a trace made.

Hello

I want to build an analog cab sim, anyone know a really good accurate schematic?

Also, anyway to create an analog cab sim based on a IR one might use the most?

Thanks

I think we all pretty much know what this is, but as I have one sitting here, I thought I'd take a few shots.

Outside is actually a really nice gold finish. Not at all cream, the way it looks on the website

I've seen this somewhere before... Not great soldering on the wires. I might have to beef that up.

Please let me know. Reversing is no option as I'm running toward a deadline. Will sign a NDA without a problem.

Greetings.
I do not know whether it is expedient to ask such a question here, but I will try :)
I created some of my pedals and would like to sell them to free up space for new ideas.
I do not know whether someone wants to buy them at Freestompboxes, as they create pedals here themselves, so I want to ask: where else can you sell, except Ebay and Etsy?
P.S. I also registered for a Reverb, but my account for a long time under consideration and appeal to the support service has not decided.

Hey there! I bought this Peavey Express 112 to leave it at my music school as a students amplifier, it cost me 35eu, so nice deal there, the clean seems to sound mostly good. I cleaned all the pots and reverb connectors and now reverb sounds good, also the seller told me the amplifier wouldn't switch to drive channel, and yes it doesn't, with the tester the switch seems fine. I found that there is a resistor burnt, R101 is completely fried, so i removed it but I don't have a replacement yet,...

Thought I'd pick up one of these to see what it's like.
I was hoping I'd be lucky and it would be a take on the Moen Shaky Jimi/Jimi Nova, which are based on the EasyVibe.
Here's links to the Moen Shaky Jimi and Moen Jimi Nova threads.
And I'd like to thank John Hollis for his lovely EasyVibe circuit. :thumbsup

What's inside then? The highlights:
1 x ST 064C
3 x TI TL062C
4 x LED/LDR pairs

It does indeed look to be generally based on the Moen/EasyVibe circuit although I haven't checked the...

This vintage octave-up/ring modulator showed up on Reverb for just a few days. Here are the seller's pics if anyone wants to trace it. The only adjustments are two trim pots. The instructions are posted on Effects Database and are included here for continuity. Apparently Thurlby is still in business in the UK, as Aim-TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) which manufactures test equipment and power supplies.
