i believe you would just take out C17, and then the bypass circuit from C16 to R11 on the schematic.

awesome thanks.. kinda what I hoped.. and I'd forgotten about c17.. but that's cool.. will go on with that as the plan.

here rocklander i took a pic of the schematic and adjusted it with paint sorry about the crudeness but thats all you do to change it now look up how to do a millenium bypass or just a standard 3pdt switch with a led and use that as i have shown the change in the pic as the circuit. It will work fine i have just removed the fet switching that ibanez uses that is not true bypass enjoy

thanks for that.. so do I not need R11 to VBIAS either?

pedalgrinder · Post by **pedalgrinder** » 24 Dec 2011, 11:23

no you don't exactly as the pic shows r11 bias the second fet q2 it has nothing to do with how that circuit operates only the switching for the non true bypass

awesome.. that saves me some room.... should have first draft available soon.

Nice one! I like the example from the 1894 datasheet too(pcb included...), but it's in stereo

...
I'd try both versions and compare, maybe next year

Best regards!

okay... since you seem pretty keen.. I'm posting my first draft, but I have NOT even gone over it once to check as yet.. it's a start.. and as soon as I get a chance I'll go over it... unlikely for a few days though.

please lemme know if you see any errors
expressPCB file.

[edit]added pix... I can already see room for improvement, but no errors so far... I'm hoping it'll fit in a 1590a

what program is your file from eagle or which one? thanks

has anyone been first guinea pig to try this one yet??? Just curious as i want to use it after a compressor as some tend to want to be little snakes once you give them a bit of juice or i was thinking of incorportating it into the same pedal.

rocklander · Post by **rocklander** » 12 Jan 2012, 19:16

now's your chance bro... guinea pig away

My thoughts exactly. Get into the kitchen and turn up the heater

pedalgrinder · Post by **pedalgrinder** » 12 Jan 2012, 23:32

must be winter for you dirk over here in australia it's summer. about 32 deg today lovely. ok time to guinea pig away not sure wheather i should build it stand alone or with a compressor hmmm have to think about that one

rocklander · Post by **rocklander** » 12 Jan 2012, 23:52

for starters, you could just compare the layout to the cct.. cross off components etc... ensure they're consistent .. no need to heat up anything but the laser printer for that

Thank you very much for this schematic and the layout. I modified Rockman's layout (sorry for the two huge jumpers) as there were some deviations from the schematic. I already build it and it astonishingly worked first time. I have no idea how good it works, because I have to test this in my rehearsal room with the noisy Orange Squeezer and his noisy mates but on first encounterI think I might like it.

This is the layout if somebody is interested, the LM1894 I bought here.

ALEX over at GUITAR FX LAYOUTS did a Stripboard-Layout.

What a coincident!

Cub · Post by **Cub** » 02 Jan 2016, 11:28

I like the theory behind this pedal, dialling out the specific frequencies with the noise instead of gating noise and signal together.
Would you chaps happen to know if there are any more effects out there (either pedal or rack) that eliminate the noise this way?

Cub · Post by **Cub** » 02 Jan 2016, 22:21

Whoops, that would be the Rocktron Hush then.

Don't I look silly now.

I suppose I'm just more into creating noise than killing it.
