This subforum is created at the suggestion of Analogguru who came up with the following idea for the forum
Another part should be modification: on ebay you can buy really cheap pedals. For example this week I bought a Ken-Multi/monarch Distortion for Eur 8,50 plus shipment. This boxes are not so bad. For example the PSK SDS-2, SDS-3 or SDS-5 (seems to be now the roque SDS-5 can be easily be modified to be a Rat. They put in this unit since years a 470 Ohm instead of the 47 Ohm resistor in the...
Hi, totally new to this forum :mrgreen:
I Guess this is THE place for effects pedal questions.
Been looking around for confirmed Joyo pedal clones, are there any list of the pedals they have cloned?
I haven't found one so i started a list of my own and i woulld really like you guys who have knowledge about their products to add information or deny/confirm information in my list.
I'm an absolute beginner. I have a Donner Ultimate Comp I purchased seven years ago and the new model doesn't sound as good. The old model has a loose power jack. How hard would it be to fix that? I don't want to mess up my pedal if they don't make them like they used to anymore. It works fine but I think it was shorting out another pedal when on a daisy chain. I've put it on it's own power supply since then, and no more daisy chains. Any advice would be appreciated! :worship:
a) C27 and C28 make up a non-polarized 16.5uf capacitor which sets the speed range. If the capacitance value is reduced, the speed range goes higher. Faster speed can produce an effect that sounds very much like a ring modulator. I would suggest a pair of 4.7uf caps, back to back, as a suitable replacement.
b) Maximum flanging effect needs a 50/50 balance between delay and clean signal, but sometimes you want just a taste of flanging. If the value of R29 is increased, the balance is shifted in...
I found an old post in wich a Joyo speaker sim bypass was discussed. The problem i encoutered (beside pcb soldering :lol: ), my JF14 appears to have a different layout............ :roll:

Does anyone have a clue how to achieve a speaker sim bypass on this pcb board?
These when compared to the FZ2 should be as follows:
R23= 10k
R3= 100k
R10= 2.9k
C26= 47pF
R64= 47k
R61= 47k
The R64 & R61 are part of the buffer portion of the circuit. I didn't notice the buffer to be degrading so these can be left alone. I had not noticed the C26 being different so when I...
Just found one of these for very cheap so I gave it a go, also to understand why everybody talks bad about this one.
Actually I like it, it has its own caracter and voicing (kind of a woody tone). But I understand why people may complain about the fizziness. Strange noboy yet opened a thread about this one, so here we go!
Here's what I did to mine, to remove the fix and add a bit more overall body to the pedal:
C9 47n
C10 2n7
C7 3n3
R21 47k
R73 Jumper
C40 10n
R49 1k8
C18 1uF
Hey all,
first of all I may be posting in the wrong section, so mods, feel free to move the thread wherever it should be.
So I've read here and there about DemonFX and how they might be copying the cosmetics of famous pedals but not necessarily their schematics. That seems a bit silly and I don't see what they would gain from only doing half of the job.
Also I have read on Reddit someone said that Josh @JHS had (reportedly) had a look at the AT-DS and said it was not the same as their AT+ and...
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...
If so, was it worth modding or did it still sound thin and like a razor blade stabbing your ears ? Im thinking of modding mine and I have never tried modding a pedal so im curious if its worth doing
.. the tittle of this thread being an attempt to play with words, although English is not my mother tongue. :P
I've already posted the explanations below in some long tedious posts or threads in other forums... But it should make more sense here. I'll just keep it relatively short for a first topic. :-)
The Tube Pilot is a cheap tube overdrive, apparently inspired by Butler / Chandler / Tube works Tube Drivers.
Problem: the Tube Pilot doesn't host any tone control nor tone correction for...
joyo jf-04 high gain distortion - mod to restore marshall shredmaster bass control.
according to analogguru, the joyo jf-04 is based on a marshall shredmaster with fixed (omitted knob) bass control.
so am opening this pimp-my-cheap-pedal thread specifically dedicated to reinstating (or attempting to) this bass control.
having checked out the schematic , and had quick look inside mine and at the unboxed gutshots posted here by grrrunge (proper components, no sm scabs, solid board that can...
Are there any mods for the MI Audio Crunchbox that will enable it to clean up better with the guitar volume knob? I built a BSIAB II and I like the way it cleans up with my guitar volume. It seems like the CB would be less of a one trick pony if there was a way to address this.
Attached is the schematic, does anybody know how to mod a DD-2 to kill the dry signal having only the Repeats heard and in bypass to be silent, no clean signal.
Hello, i just got this used from amazon, and like mentioned on other sites the pedal seems to have a noticeable volume drop. The pedal is digital so i'm not really sure something can be done but maybe i can post some photos for someone interested looking into it?
I just took apart my Amp Turbo. The board seems to be the same as the deluxe as it has the solder pads for the 3 switches and all the components. The components are surface mounted except the coupling capacitors witch are an orange film type, and the 2N5888 boost Transistor. All the clipping diodes are standard silicon diodes no shotkky diodes (bat46) in the boost section as a real amp 11. The boost section has 2 pairs of diodes that are selectable via the switch. One pair (D9,D10 )is a...
So, about a year ago I bought the guts of a JDF2 off eBay. I think it's the older version as it has the transistors marked DMI158 rather than the reissue NKTs. It works just fine (I was actually goofing around with it on Sunday) but it's a bit wooly and gets a touch dark when I roll the volume down.
So, before I order an enclosure to put it in I was figuring I'd like to do some simple mods to it to maybe improve the clarity and versatility, which might change how many knobs are on the...
Hi! I'm trying to modify a Big Muff circuit adding clean signal blend. I've tried a few solutions but I'm not quite satisfied with any of them.
Initial idea was to add an input buffer (non-inverting op-amp) and split the signal into two patches also increasing input impedance significantly. I also wanted to boost clean signal a bit to make it more audible when the dry knob is set past 12 o clock. I've tried something like that (screenshot). What do you guys think? Maybe there is a good solution...
Hi guys, after two years of building my own pedals I've broken down a purchased a Boss RV-3 just to have some reverb on my board when gigging in Japan (you never know what kind of amp you'll encounter as they are provided by the venue here). I tried reverse engineer the Hermida reverb box that used the brick digital reverb but I failed miserably twice so I gave up and bought the Boss.
Anyway, I've listened to a number of samples of Boss RV-3 with a high cut switch mod and I love the option of...
I have a cheap rat clone and i'm quite happy with the tone as it when using it with my guitar on 10. ALL my guitars have treble bleeds and when i roll off the volume for clean tones which my amp does quite well, it's cleans up nicely and gets nice and chimey. But not with the RAT. Had the same issue with original RATs and ones i have built. The tone gets dull like you turned your tone control too far down. I have tried every setting possible on the amp and pedal but it's just one of those...
