Hey y'all, long time lurker, first and foremost how do I link to the schematic in the subject?
Anyway, I was thinking about how useful a power pot would be on one of these given that I never go much past 9 o'clock on the bloom knob (I actually do a lot of fingerpicking and the note separation on this thing is so phenomenal that major and minor seconds sound great even if you let them ring), so I wound up cracking open the doom bloom... I'm FAIRLY sure the schematic is on point. If you've never...

Three PCBs and some very neat wiring. This is one of the boutique brands that brings a good name to the industry, in my opinion.

Another TGP find. :)

I traced the Carl Martin Crush Zone distortion and measured the voltages at the transitors.

Got any the schematic or an inside shot?

Hi,

I will have this pedal for a few days.

Are all values, it is only to make the schematic and go over how it works.

Snagged these off TGP.

Hi friends!!!
I have got this pedal and I'd like to mod it... I'd like to get from it more distortion and less fuzzy sound.
Also, it would be cool change the general tone a little...

But there aren't schematic on the web, I have done some pic of pcb front and back... :horsey:

Hey all, long time no contribute. Sorry, been uber-busy. Anyway, here are the prelim pics;

I'm kind of wrapped up in two monster builds right now (Lab Series preamp and Son of Stormtide flanger), so I'll be slow to trace it. At first glance though, it does look like half of an MS-20 style filter section, with and envelope detector on the front end. I tried it, and it sounds pretty good, but I find that the envelope is rather picky when it comes to pick attack. You have to be fairly constant on...

Hey,

Pretty new here but have learned a shit load of you all, dont have much to offer but took a couple of photos of a mates bass pedal that i just fixed for him, its a di/preamp/fuzz thing.

Anyway hope this helps

Dusting this albatross off. Builder on eBay claims to have successfully reverse engineered a factory purchased Thee Fuzz War with the added treble boost section, which seemed appealing to me. He even includes a hi-res gutshot, in case anyone here has the wherewithal to trace it.

Last week, I built the Emerson EM Drive. I had originally intended to build the Paramount, but for simplicity, I started with the EM Drive. Initially, I used a 2N5088 which was listed on the diagrams I have for the EM Drive, but it was too overdriven and compressed. I'd read somewhere that the 2N3094 was a lower gain transistor, so I tried one of those (I socket the transistor of course), and, well, it sounded great. Just a hint of grit on low to medium settings, and very transparent. I was...

I recently traced the Pedal.

Ran across a demo of this one, and some of the sounds are just what my son is looking for. I've been Googling for the schematic or layout, but no luck so far. I was thinking there might be someone who had it archived. Thanks! Larry S.
