Found this picture online and decided to figure out what it was. The two 560k resistors were a dead giveaway that it was Bosstone based, so I figured I'd fill in the blanks. Not sure if this is 100% accurate (and I'd hazard a guess that it isn't since I don't know what the value of the Epcos cap and that little MLC cap are), but I built it up and it sounded pretty close to the sound in the demo videos I watched. I omitted switching and the boost function (just switches between two volume...
From the D*A*M Team:
Dig it. Black Dust. The Black Acid (which is a ball buster silicon fuzz face relative) pre-set to fold air. Fuzz and drive, wide open. Maximum attack, minimized footprint. Fuelled with the same PCB as the Black Acid, British made Magnatec BC109's, Arcol carbon comps, BC/Vishay capacitors, prime cuts all the way.
For those not familiar with this circuit type it has a very similar tonal qualities to the old Meathead Dark though...
I traced this one way back when it first came out and I found some better gut shots to confirm values. I'm surprised I didn't see a topic on it. Really nothing new going, just a fixed MKIII/MKIV Tone Bender variant with the tone control fixed. I know a lot of guys like the DAM stuff. In my opinion it's a more useful two knob version rather than the 2 knob Park Fuzz Sound which has the gain fixed rather than the tone control. Modifying a pre-existing layout should be a breeze for it.
I just watched a demo of this pedal over at the Guitar Player website and really liked it. Now I know it's based on the Colorsound Fuzz-Wah circuit, but I'm curious to what values and transistors they went with to tweak it so well.
The schematic of the Fuzz-wah shows the fuzz circuit section looking not exactly like the Colorsound One Knob Fuzz as I expected:
Hopefully someone here can provide gutshots or even a schematic of the Fuzzbud version to compare. Thank you!
I have a few pictures and I traced out the PCB layout with DIYLC.
I'll try to make an actual schematic and vero in the next week or so, but I might get caught up with work, so no promises.
I checked some of the harder to notice connections with a Voltmeter, so I'm 95% sure that everything's correct. If not, maybe Glass Hero will point it out.
Black is the top trace, blue is the bottom.
In case anyone tries to trace it themselves to verify my layout or whatever, there's a...
I just played one and it sounds great, I think it´s a kind of compressor/treblebooster combination, anyone knows what´s inside or maybe have a circuit drawing ?
This has gotta be a simple one. Allows you to share some pedals between acoustic and electric while switching you input and output with one stomp. How would you wire this? 4PDT? I'm curious because I can't imagine it being terribly complex and I can certainly build this cheaper than $90 that he charges.
does anybody know more about this pedal? It's actually a Jordan Bosstone plus a tone control and some kind of bass booster. I have looked for a schematic but maybe somebody knows more about it or how to achieve these things the appropriate way.
I borrowed a Nocturne Brain Seltzer from a friend a while ago, and took a look at the guts, but don´t tell him. :blackeye
No magical snake oil inside :mrgreen: Altough a pretty nice sounding pedal!
I tried to find out some values, maybe you wanna help me to make a vero layout?
Hi All
I have very few btk efx, so I'm gonna share the little I have!
Nothing new here, plain FF thing, but I guess the interesting thing are the voltages, for they show how the holly NKT275 trannies behave in a benchmark FF clone.
No gains for the trannies coz I wanna resell it flawless, but it reads low on q1 and hi on q2. They look darn new too, so does the nkt275 silkscreen.
I bought it only to see how far or close my builds were from a pro FF , and guess what... I like mine better! :lol:...
