This has been discussed but there is no definitive schematic here.
The theories are that it's either an Octavia or Bobtavia rework.
Anyone have one for study?
I took a few shots of the TonoMatch ProTubeScreamer.
It is a high quality pedal in mechanical and electrical workmanship.
Jacks with gold-plated contacts.
True bypass with relay and electronic control.
Only film capacitors in the signal path.

the original 1176 is crazy expensive these days. i thought it'd be pretty elaborate, but looking at the original 1176 schematic, seems like a couple JFETs and a some BJTs. presumably the pedal removed the 5532 differential input. and the marketing doesn't mention any transformers so i guess they skipped that too. runs on +30V and -10V, nothing too crazy.
they're charging $359 for a pedal clone, and i bet most of that price is just based on the...
This is my first time posting here... I've been trying, for the better part of a year, to obtain this pedal. It beautifully replicates the sound of the Beatles - and much better than premium and expensive alternatives like Aclam's Dr. Robert or Jext Telez's White Pedal (no dis). Hear for yourself! Unfortunately the maker has gone completely AWOL... I was able to get a few replies from him last year but he disappeared. I think he's had enough with making pedals. His website and official social...
Almost a year ago I built myself a Mudhoney clone following the stripboard layout from TagboardEffects, which follows the two schematics to be found online. But as it turned out to work quite a bit different than the original I have tried to modify my build in numerous different ways to make it work as intented. But still, it didn't sound as would like it to. But now I have bought myself an old used unit and have tried to trace it!
This is my first trace and I have yet to try building...
Considering only about 50 of the Rockman Ultimatum Distortion Generator pedals were ever released, and having gotten my hands on one for a time, I thought it wise to trace and verify the circuit. I spent a good amount of time, coincidentally with Robert (@PedalPCB) doing a trace of the same pedal at the same time, I took the time to breadboard the circuit based on the trace I made - but without the low-battery and buffered-bypass sections.
The complete set of notes, layouts and schematic is...
I searched for gut shots of this one and didn't find any. So, I am just letting you know that I've got a hold of this one and hope to put up the gut shots this weekend. That is, if anyone is interested... :D
So I had never heard of the church of Tone.
An old friend of mine bought one of my DS1 pedals and he asked me if I were still fixing stuff and I said yes.
He had he said it with an older model.
Didn't work from the day he got it had the Box and everything.
I cracked it open and I looked at the board and noticed there's 2 capacitors missing.
Lo and behold it's the input and the output capacitors.
Now the strange thing is this is the exact same schematic layout as everything that I have...
Hi Guys,
yesterday a frind of mine give me a Darkglass Duality to try.
I just opened it and shoot some pictures.
It is based on 4049UBE CMOS.
All Pots are 100kB except for the Level Pot which is 100kA.
unfortunately I cannot hold the pedal so I will start tracing the pedal from the photos. In the next few months I will have the opportunity to have the pedal back in my hands and check all the connections. If someone has the pedal and wants to help me, you can write to me in PM.
I give you the W hisper of Screams - a trace of the Kasha OD Guitar pedal. One of the best, oddest, yet simplest, circuits in guitar pedals I've ever encountered.
This post is my contribution to the pedal building community in resurrecting this rare find.
This thing rips and has only two active components - a pair of JFETs. No diodes were used or harmed in the creation of this circuit. Yet, it can can deliver a clean 3db boost, all the way up to...
Is OCD just VoodooLab rippoff ( with MOSFET's instead of Si diodes) ?
I don't know - I have not seen one - but I have read that elsewhere on another forum/s - it may be true, but then it may be lies.
If you find out for sure, please let us know :wink:
---------------------------------Due to my inexorable photo skill upgrades I'm able to offer the glimpse in side a pedal I usually just leave on because there aren't any bad settings. Sadly, not only has this got traces on both sides , the designer has fabbed a hyper-secret epoxyblob that plugs into an in-line 8 pin socket. For the xistors, he's used common parts . Q1, Q2=J201, Q3=MPSA13, Q4=MPF102. I'd love to use those chromed, slotted pot dialers in my builds if I new where to get them!...
I haven't seen this one brought to the table or discussed so I thought I'd mention it. Could it possibly be a HBOD or DRD variant with less high-end filtering?
I am very very new to building effects. I am still in the paint by numbers phase. I am only really building clones with PCBs that are readily available. I am hoping to get a better understanding as time goes on and hopefully make some cool stuff of my own.
Anyway, I have a Kingsley Harlot v2. A friend of mine traced it and made the schematic. From what I understand he changed some of the capacitors and resistors, but the original uses 630v polyester caps and 1/2...
Pretty surprised to find this official Honey Bee schematic along with a DIY kit:
Might be old news to some, but I wanted to upload the schematic before it disappears.
Wasn't sure if I should bump the old BJF Honey Bee thread from 2009, the values all match up but I guess it is technically a different version. The old thread is a nice time capsule, pretty funny to see comments like I hear Honey Bee's are vapour wear and may perhaps not exist other than in cyberspace;)
