I apparently have a thing for delay/reverb circuits. I decided to do a true stereo reverb using PT2399. It's based on my Spare Room design, but it takes advantage of of the ability to cross feed the left and right signals and to do some cool cross channel-dependent modulation. It's not a small circuit by any measure. In fact, it may be the most complicated single knob pedal in the DIY world, but it's a fun one. The schematic is too big to post at reasonable quality here, but I put the short...

hey guys
i just built one, i tried a lot of transistors and finally got some nice sound out of it. bias voltages are ok, no ugly noises on the decay
its gated in a nice way, with a hint of octave up when i back the guitar vol pot a little....
what bothers me is on a certain combination on the guitar volume pot and the fuzz''/ bias pot in produces a kind of octave down sound which is actually very pleasant
my question is whether this is normal. i havent heard of a zonk pedal doing this

So I have a DL-4 that powers on maybe 1 out of 10 times. When it does power on, it works totally fine and indefinitely. Sometimes if I unplug it after working then plug it back in, it works. Most of the time it doesn't. After that, it seems like 2 consecutive times powering up is the limit. I've reseated the Eprom several times and thoroughly cleaned the pins. I reflowed all of the pins of the socket. I reflowed a few ICs around the Eprom to see if something was just making a bad contact. I've...

I have built an old favorite from this board, the Highway 89 from Doug Hammond. This pedal kills. The tone is rocking and ballsy and the clean up is great!!

I was trying to let the other guitar player in my band use it and I discovered a really strange issue that we have tracked down to a power issue generally but do not know specifically what the problem is.

When it is powered from my old dinosaur SKB pedalboard the pedal works fine, as it does when I use a single Boss PSA 120 style...

I have extra boards from some pcbway orders that I've decided to offer up stateside.
●●●this is for USA shipping only●●●

They are all verified.

There's multiples of each pictured.

$5 shipping included will get you whatever boards you want, up to one of each design.

To be clear for $5 you can get all 5 boards shipping included.

●●●this is for USA shipping only●●●

I'm open to trades for boards that you have extras of.

Pm me if interested.

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 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

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.

Hello all,

does anyone know this pedal Effettidiclara AGATA from Italy?
It is a boost/driver with 2 gain stages.
Does anyone have a schematic or an idea what kind of circuitry might be inside?

Hello, I am posting this to get feedback on my schematic before building a vero of it. I modified an HM-2 schematic from Aion FX, of which is included in their build docs for their Graviton clone with features inspired by the Darkglass B7K. I inserted a clean blend and changed the 2 band Gyrator EQ to a four band. The frequencies are 80hZ, 500hZ, 1.5KhZ, and 5KhZ. I also changed the reverse polarity protection from a single 1n5817 diode to a BS250P P-Channel MOSFET and 1n4148 diode pair....

I've been looking at the Marshall shredmaster for a while, but as used gear prices have reached questionable highs I'm looking at alternatives. I have heard the Truetone Jekyll & Hyde is a TS-like on the overdrive side, and based on the shredmaster on the distortion side.

Do any of you know how different the Truetone and Marshall pedals are? Is it a direct clone? Just wondering if it's worth getting the Marshall.

Here's an odd one
made in Italy, with help from Gary Hurst.

Hi
Newbie here

I have a Daphon E20CH Chorus pedal which came to me in a broken state, though was an easy fix, and now I'm wondering if I can give it some improvements to make it as quiet as possible and maximise its performance.

It's using the MN3207/MN3102 BBD pair, plus there's a MC4558 and 022D JRC (an 8-pin amp chip). There's 8-10 X C1815 transistors. Most of the caps are green polys - plus several cheap-brand electrolytics. The resistors all appear to be carbon film, the PCB is...

This one was a tricky bugger.
I am quite unsure about the accuracy of the trace, since I omitted all switching, but here's my shot at it.

Seems to be fairly similar to the Boss DS-1, missing one gain stage that gets added at the end. Horrid sounding crap through my Laney, even the abominable stock DS-1 sounds slightly better than this. But again, will tinker with it and see what mods are doable 8)

This 2nd gen of Arion pedals incorporate a second output with the ability to switch between...

Sorry to :beatdeadhorse: , but I love Zonk machines! No one likes the sound of the Zonk II (including myself, until now). To me it sounded dark and had a weird abrupt cutoff about the notes...especially lower power chords and the higher single note runs. I attributed this to just being a crap circuit, but after adjusting the bias I changed my mind. I replaced the q2 collector resistor (10k) with a pot (as close to 10k as you have.) I used an audio pot, but a linear would probably work better. I...

Dear all,
somebody have the schematics of this stomp box?
I found one but it doesn't work and I'd like to repair it.
