Re: Earthquaker Devices - Ghost Echo [traced]

I made the "Perf and PCB" layout. Found that Depth 1 and 3 are reversed, and I compared to the original and I think it's less punchy, a bit less volume. Possibly, I will check values during the week on the original and came back if I found something different that the schematic made actual...

A/B Looper Design

Hi, I need to switch between 2 pedals during my set (like a fuzz for rhythm and one for chorus/lead) and I prefer switch between the 2 with only one switch and shut them off with an other switch for get my clean signal. I "designed" this layout but I don't know if I did right, or maybe the...

Re: BAJA Wizard Wah Wah - photo essay [documentation]

It's been complicated for me to find a 6.8 uF BP, so can I just use a standard metal film cap with the same value?

Re: Catalinbread - SFT

Finally on the tagboard there was a problem on the pinout of the swtich, I rewired it, and now the pedal seems pretty close to the original, like 90%.
Just a bit less volume and bit more bassy, when the original get a lot of high medium, the clone are more on low medium.

Re: Catalinbread - SFT

I made the vero from Tagboard and it seems to get the same problem than the others people who made it: - The pedal is really low/dark tuned compared to the original, I think there is a problem on the bass pot, like you can't shut up the bass frequenciens (on the original, on bass at 0, you only get ...

Re: Catalinbread - SFT

I compared a clone of version I I did few years ago (apparently the tracing of the first version have some errors) with this one, I can really say that the version II it's really really better, awesome ampeg tone on a clean bass amp. I can try to get again the pedal, and verify what you want with pi...

I've posted this, on another forum but I would see gutshots to see if It's what I've expected. Official Description: The Supreme has all of the sounds and abilities of the Standard and Primitive Pharaohs, but with some very useful additions and a bit of a twist. In place of the hi/lo switch,the Supr...
