This mod converts the Joyo JF-16 British Sound to true bypass and replaces the MOSFET transistor in Q1 in the buffer to a JFET to reduce the noise, which is quite noticable at high-gain settings.

My pedal stopped working due to the wires that connect the switch to the main pcb failing, so I had to intervene. In the process of replacing the wires I applied also this mods.

To make the true bypass mod work you need to cut the pcb trace that connect the input jack to the buffer.

These are...

Hello everyone. I'd like to know if someone has a mod to reduce the ramp speed on a danelectro big spender. I've been looking for a mod and the schematic but have found nothing. I really like this pedal. The only thing that bothers me a little is the ramp speed. It takes 10 seconds to ramp up and down. I think it's excessive and it is not useable. I want to reduce it to 4-5 seconds, but since i know nothing about modding, i have no idea what to do. I dont know if i have to change a cap, or a...

About ten years ago I traced the circuit of the Hughes & Kettner Metal Master.
The capacitor and the resistor in the red-framed ellipse were missing in the original schematic.
The transistors of the power amplifier were specified with the BC23x instead of the BD23c types.
Further additions in red font.

someone asked me to build them one, who am i to turn down money?

this was the final revision, i'll up docs when i finally get a chance to do some. repairs keep me busy.

peace!

will upload the actual schematic when i get a chance. i had worked one up for deadend, but never finished it so i will have to draw it up. been YEARS.

shoutout to kevin at aion effects, i used his boards as a substrate to build this on.

for all intents, its the old fake a variable cap on the input cap, 10n and 4.7u caps and an a250k pot for the bass sweep...
and the boost is from literally switching the location of the output cap in the circuit as i believe i had reported on...

It's possible I'm just not looking in the right place. Does anyone know what the Waza mods are to the Hm2? Would love to add a toggle to my beloved clone.

Hello,

I've had a Walrus Audio Canvas Mono in my possession for a few days, so of course I've taken it apart to see what's inside... ( in conclusion, it's very expensive for very little ).

I'll have a look at the schematic (relatively simple at first glance)

on the other hand, I'm looking for a way to measure the two transformers without destroying or unsoldering them.

For now, I'm going to measure their resistances, I'll try to measure the impedance, and I'll inject an AC voltage on one...

Hello everyone, everything good?
I put together this version of Fender Blender....

Firstly there were 5 bc239c transistors with hfe around 600, it was very noisy.

I changed the first two transistors with 2n3904 with hfe=360, now it sounds decent.

However, the boost tone has volume problems, I checked the R34 and R35 but I couldn't find this diagram, which resistors did the reissue change to fix this volume problem in the boost tone?

grateful

Hey there!

It's Jordi, I'm the developer of ImageToPCB, not sure if any of you are familiar with the software. Summarizing it allows to convert images to gerber and drill files ready to send to a PCB manufacturer.

Recently a user made a video showing how she combines DIY Layout Creator and ImageToPCB so I thought about posting here as it might be of interest for the community.

This is my first attempt at PCB design. I chose a simple circuit and followed along to DigiKey's KiCad tutorials. . The One Chip Pony only does one trick—and it only uses one chip!

Clown color hydro-dip finish felt appropriate.

Maybe it looks a little silly in such a large enclosure, but I needed the extra room for the giant knob! This layout was designed specifically to accommodate the knob and switch, and also to be easy to troubleshoot.

Hi folks!
Here is the TC Vintage Delay analog circuit schematic (a few parts are missed).

Cheers!

Hi guys, i really appreciate some help here.
I have an EHX Freeze with PCB Rev B.
The Pedal was working intermittently, and after i disassembled it i noticed two major problems:
- Broken Toggle Switch;
- Footswitch with signals/marks that has been opened before.

After some research i ordered the exact same parts:
- Toggle Switch: 2MD3T1B1M2QES (on-Off-on)
- Momentary Footswitch SPDT On-Momentary On 3 Pin PCB Mount.

I carefully dessolder the old ones, and mounted the brand new parts, and like...

One of this rock opera's orchestra guitarists posted this somewhere more than 20 years ago. I forgot I had it until the topic came up on another forum. Thought I'd post it here for the record (which is the meaning of the file names: Side 1, Side 2, etc. refer to the 2-disc LP set.)

Came across one of these used in NL, for big bucks, so I was intrigued (sceptic) to see what makes it tick.
Apparently they are not made anymore. TEFI has a gut shot on their website, but I found one for sale with legible markings on two IC's.

Hey guys,

Having some problems with my RM V1, ver 2 (big box), is anyone able to share some gut shot photos of their RM V1?

It would be great for me to be able to refer to, as I think my pedal has been modded/messed with in the past.

Thanks.

Hello all. I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm doing this right.

I recently acquired an original Dunlop 535 Non Q Crybaby but it looks like someone has tampered with the mini PCB for the Rotary Switch. There are several capacitors and resistors missing and I'm not entirely sure the capacitors that are there are the stock values either. I would like to get it back to stock if possible but I'm having trouble finding a schematic that I trust. The only Non Q schematic I could find was from an...

Forget it I figured it out

Hi all! I have this dead effect after bad repair... I made schematic of it but I not checked it. So It can has mistakes. And It can has sligth difference in some capacitors values greater than 2u2. So check it please if you will make it and dimentions too.
In PCB I saved original topology (check ZIP file).

Just got a Fender 75 amp. I've spent two whole working days restoring it to factory specs. To make future easier for someone, here are layouts - of a Riviera-Era footswitch (which works for all Riviera-era amps, see and of a Hi/Lo and Standby switches in a 75.

I recently got this vintage pedal PUE Sustain Filter (Poles are really creative at naming stuff), and it was described as Polish Big Muff, so I decided to check out the circuit. PUE was producing guitar pedals in the 80s in Lodz, Poland.

It has a plastic enclosure with battery only a power supply (however, the DC jack was added by a previous owner), and the PCB has a metal screen attachment, which is supposed to keep out radio interference. PCB is single-sided,...

Hey FSB,

This is my first post here. I wanted to share the schematic for the Lone Wolf Audio Left Hand Wrath that I recently traced. Big surprise it was nothing remotely original, as it was an almost direct copy of the Dunwich Modded HM-2. I did add a CLR and polarity protection diode. Also, this works 100% using a One Spot for 9v power. The LWA LHW did not utilize a V+ or G- plane, Simply, it is a f'in mess.

FYI the trace image was not 100% complete, as I realized what it was mid-process and...
