Earthquaker Devices - Hizumitas [traced]
Hey all, new video is out on the Hizumitas.
I did not do a full schematic, it is pretty close to the available Elk Sustainar schematic widely available:
BigMuffPage's Elk Sustainar Schematic
Here are some changes from the above schematic I observed:
- add input pulldown resistor (1M)
- add input RF filter cap (100p)
- change PNP transistors to NPN (2N3904)
- change power polarity for NPN Q's (flip polarized caps, protection diodes, etc.)
- change all pots to B50K
- change dist. tail resistor(R23) to 820Ω
- change clipping diode AC bypass caps(C6 & C7) to 47n
- change tone cap(C9) to 3.3n
- change voltage divider resistor(R3) to 47K for Q4
- change emitter resistor(R4) to 1K for Q4
- diodes are 1N4148/1N914
Enjoy!

I was interested in getting this pedal but now I’ll just mod one of my old Sovtek Green muffs to this.
Thanks to all for the info!

I so dislike the modern digital world that I need to use semi-digital effects to emulate the analog world of cassette, VHS, and vinyl.

Thanks. My Sovteks are already modified a bit so I may have to do more than that.
