Hello All,

I know there is a lengthy thread on these Sans Amp clones, but I was wondering if I could bounce an Idea off you gurus on Pedal tweaking...

I have a Setup running a British Sound into the Joyo D-seed Delay (Mono Version). I am not running an amp and recording direct into my DAW.

I have discovered that the D-Seed is not happy with the drive level out of the JF-16 and is randomly distorting... which is quite annoying...

I have been messaging with a Joyo rep, who confirmed with the...

Hello,

This is my first pedal build and seemed to have hit a snag and not sure how to follow through or what to change from what I have. I'm following an old PDF from GEO Fex
I'm trying to do this Terminal Strip method and have gotten as far as the tuning process, inserting 100k and 10k pot to get a proper voltage reading from the collector and ground to set the transistor gain properly.

The PDF states a -6.8 to -7.2 voltage from the collector and ground is what is usually desired to get...

These are all ORIGINAL NEW old stock CTS /MXR pots
Stored since MXR UK closed mid 80's
I hope people find these of use
(I have populated PCB's for pedals , MXR early rack kit PCB's and some MXR drum machine parts - will take a few weeks to sort)

NOTE - Two sets of SAME PART CODE have tested with 2 different values! That info may already be known or of use.

with 'wire tails' were built with about 1 inch solid wire on each connection ready for Commande series I think

'in pairs' are mounted...

I'm posting this here for the benefit of the community. It's my own idea of what a Rockman headphone amp should be like, made with modern, easily available components. It is intentionally not an exact clone of any specific Rockman model, because my aim right from the beginning was to make it better. I'd say it's closest to an X100 without the Echo part, but with a nice feature from the Soloist (the Doubler mode), and another really nice feature from the Ace series: single 9V battery power. I...

Here is my latest original build. The enclosure came from a 3-knob AliExpress zendrive clone kit by Landtone. I first used it for a DIY Friedman Golden Pearl, which is why there are two extra switches. It turned out that keeping these let me design a bit more flexibility in.

It's a fairly straight forward amp-in-a-box type of deal, but here I'm using P-Mosfets (hence the name) instead of Jfets because they are much more...

enjoy......not bad sounding........good with superhardon in front of it.........
:thumbsup

Do you know what this pedal could be?

I seen some video, and wonder if is original or not.

Huge picture from their site:

This is a weird thing I noticed, the Meatsmoke preamp has a buffer at the end of the circuit and a switch that allows attenuation of the output signal

While various Kingsley pedals for example doesnt seem to have one

On the Kingsley I dont see much of signal attenuation compared to the Meatsmoke, considering this is a high voltage tube pedal doesnt this make the output of the Kingsley too hot for most pedals after it?

Hi All,
I am very unexperienced in modding but, from time to time, I get the opportunity to help friends and get deeper knowledge of this topic.
A friend of mine needed a mod to solve the issue of volume peak with WH10 V3 . This is a well known issue and, even though several people explain that this pedal should not be used on the clean channel of the amp, my friend uses this pedal with different equipment therefore he could not rely on this solution. It is apparently rather common that people...

I got this unit in and it sounds great on the bass

I was expecting more of an Overdrive unit but I got a distortion pedal. Sounds also great on guitar!!

HI, I seem to have lost my login as it's been a few years, so I am new and shiny

I was searching the threads and found some info on how to make the reissue of the Ibanez WH10 sound more like the original (cap removal) and about true bypassing, BUT i can't find anywhere any good information on how to add a volume control to reign in the gain boost you get on these pedals. I know people do it but for some reason to my knowledge no one has ever posted how best to do it. So if anyone could advise...

I recently got a LAL Green Monster, a super rare fuzz and long discontinued pedal by LAL.
Since I opened it to clean it a bit, I decided to take also some gut pictures.

Some notes to the pictures:
True bypass 3PDT footswitch
Pots: Vol 10kB, Sens1 10kB, Sens2 10kB, Sens3 50kB
Wiring: Green GND, Yellow OUT, White IN, Red +9VDC

Opamps are both UA741CP, and there are only 2 components which maybe are a bit tricky to track.
These look like 2 diodes: the black one in the middle of the board (I...

Hi all, I have an issue with the line6 m13. All effects work but the lcds are either blank or black boxes. (LCD colour backgrounds still work) It seems a pretty common issue when looking online, but there doesn’t seem to be any solutions.
Has anyone had experience with this or any thoughts on what to try. Service manual is available online.
Thanks

Hi all, my line6 m13 has blank lcd screens. The colours still change and the effects all still work. But unfortunately the lcds are either blank or sometimes all black. Looking online it seems like a few people has this issue but I haven’t found a way to repair it yet.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks

New member here, and my apologies if i am starting off on the wrong foot with my first post..,.i am hoping someone can provide some advice here as to what may be wrong with an old distortion box. I have an old univox superfuzz stomp box that when plugged in no longer generates a really cool crunch sound it now generates what really sounds like static. . It has two settings but both sound similar, like a static generator. Any ideas? maybe the capacitors need replacing. Afterall it has to be at...

This is side A of the Duellist dual pedal released as a standalone effect. It's got a couple of changes from what's inside the Duellist, but overall pretty close.

Basically a stripped-down Tube Screamer (Son of Screamer) with several tone options.

This is side B of the Duellist dual pedal released as a standalone effect. It's got several tweaks & added features from what's inside the Duellist, so not a direct clone, though pretty close.

king_tone_heavyhand_trace_schematic.png

Basically a Bluesbreaker/Prince of Tone with a clipping diode switch and a few different pre-clipping tonal options.

Full tracing journal: (includes Duellist and Soloist)

PCB:

Apparently it is a Klon, haven't been able to test it properly, because it whines so hard the signal is indiscernible, both when active and when in bypass (true bypass?).
I did open it up yesterday evening, but did not take pictures, will do that tonight.
It's got two TL072's (SMT, like most of the components) and a 7660, IIRC. Might just get rid of the 7660 and use a higher voltage wallwart.

Anyone else have issues with theirs? Would think that these pedals are more popular than they are...
