Yeah, I see now that it wasn't an original unit pictures in the original post - it wasn't mentioned till later that it was a replacement pcb built by AG.Electric Warrior wrote:AG built that one. 82Ω would be correct. there's a picture in this thread over at diystompboxes: https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/ ... c=48885.60

yeah, AG posted it himself.MoreCowbell wrote: As far as me posting the picture, no need whatsoever to "refer to the photo source" as I simply quoted your original post in this thread . I didn't "repost" it from DAM. The "enlargement and altered pic" is debatable, but being that it is directly under the quoted post, it is easy to see where the original, unaltered photo came from.
however, on page one he mentioned twice that it's a clone he built. unfortunately somebody misquoted AG's first post, creating the impression that AG's clone is an original circuit board.
that thing in the enclosure is the original circuit. AG clearly stated, that it's easy to clone it and posted pictures of his own clone as an example.MoreCowbell wrote: I can't help it that your original post leaves the impression that it is an original unit.

Yeah, I just really don't bother to "question" when AG posts a picture. Usually he'll state any alterations to the circuit in the post, which wasn't done, so I assumed it to be original.
My mistake, but an easy one to make given the wording of the post. No big deal.

When you cannot recognize the difference between the original and the clone, buy some glasses and count the holes in the perfboard.

Evidently there WAS doubt. I'm FAR from stupid, and because of your posting history thought it unnecessary
to sit and "count holes" as you suggest. I simply thought that you had removed the board from the original unit. I'm sorry that you left some ambiguity, as evidenced by another posters comment -
Seriously AG, you're getting all offended because I didn't bother to "question" your original post as an original unit, simply because in the past you've made it crystal clear what was not original. Seriously ? If anything you should be "flattered" that your past history leaves you "trusted", but instead you're here making a HUGE deal out of this. As I said in an earlier post -jrod wrote:What are the pictures of that AG posted? Colorsound One-Knob Fuzz?
Your "Thats very easy, as you can see here:" comment to me simply meant it was simple circuit and would be easy to clone, not that this WAS a clone - as I said, I misunderstood. You win. You're the best. You're never wrong . I'm the biggest idiot in the fucking world. Here's your box of Cheerios.My mistake, but an easy one to make given the wording of the post. No big deal.

And as I said, my interpretation of your post left doubt. I'm not gonna sit there and "count holes" to verify a circuit as you suggest, when your past history shows you to have been exceedingly clear about such things. That's why I didn't scrutinize the post further.analogguru wrote:Maybe the cause are my poor english skills, but it really sucks that I have to waste my time for justifications, when IMHO I left no doubt about the matter.

It's all good ...and a ridiculous thing to "argue" about. It's not just a waste of "your" time, but also "my time" to have to defend myself because of something that was "unclear" by my interpretation.
It's over, done with.

Please forgive my ignorance, but, does the 82R/820R only affect the volume or would changing its value change the fuzz characteristic as well?
Thanks for your efforts, MoreCowbell, and glad to see you back here. I always enjoy your posts!

apart from volume increase, the values i experimented with:
at lower (82R) it sounds "grainy" and slightly gated.
at medium values like 1k~2k its more straight distortion,
higher around 3k and up goes into heavily gated, scattered, angry fuzz

does anyone have the full schem ofthe production model, id like to add the blend feature for a bass fuzz build

I don't know specifically what they're doing in there. When you see the pics: http://www.macaris.co.uk/image_view.asp?img=140.jpgscorpion victim wrote:does anyone have the full schem ofthe production model, id like to add the blend feature for a bass fuzz build
You'll notice a bunch of extra stuff in there. There's diodes, more caps, another transistor, could be a jfet with protection diodes? Anyways you could try out the input buffer/splitter/blend section of the Scrambler instead and see how it goes. Its easy to breadboard.
--Brad
built this pedal (finally) using an old behringer channel switcher as a base (judging by its habit of chewing drill bits im betting solid steel)
sounds veryyyy gated and out of control but is suprisingly melodic too. Works well with an overdrive after it to boost it a little
Im running mine in the effects loop of an NS-2 (switching it out for an MXR noise gate clone when i can) to get rid of the hiss
Would recommend to beginners for ease... just make sure you find a box that is more suitable!
