The website insists on installing an Active X which makes me suspicious.

My online storing is not suspicious!

Provide by my ISP.

Great work, so far!

As this is quite complex, it would be really helpful, if the result of this thread was a professionally manufactured pcb, maybe offered by musicpcb or madbean.

I have a non-purple version [ older ], I can send to a established member if that helps
I'd love to build the dual rack mount stereo unit . -okgb-

I hope they would be enough kind to offer one to me, or I'd begin to think they are really no cool...

This is a rip of the 80's version. I dunno if the re-edition is totally the same.
I think, as you got it, that we'd just need that you correct the two unsure values on the unreadable capcitors and could be nice too if you take pics of the guts.

BTW, I really don't understand why wanting a dual rackmount version, except wanting to insert tho 2 chorus in two delay loops for 2 deluxe memoryman loops, it has no real interest, or am I missing something?
If there are improvements to do, s.o that has studied the Moogerfoogers or old analog synths could implement CV's, or s.o masering midi shit could make it programmable... But I'd prefer such person to do this kinda job on the Fuzz-Factory or Big Muff Ge4 : this would be really great as they have so many sound possibilities that it's really pityful to just have a single effect config when using 'em...
In fact, I(d really like Thech-in-Mind (Biyang?) to slightly improve their modular effect system to smyh like 200 emories, put the midi protocol in in order to communicate with other devices and publish an open source protocol, so we could build effect cards goin in from anything documentated. Frankly, I consider that multiFx sux by the fact they aren't modular and stompboxes by the fact they mostly aren't programmable... I really wish for a modular muli Fx where anyone could build his own fx cards and put em inside as in a PC tower...
Such thing could have been made since the GP8 era

Someone to help me to complete component values on this part of the schematic

I'm out of town til Sunday but will add some pix then
rackmount , true stereo ? I'd buy one if they weren't so expensive

Iznogoud,

are you able to writte again the layout of the TC (with a pen and not a brush

)?

I would like finish schematics redrawn

Sorry, I'm a bit overbooked, that's a little why I asked for help here

. If s.o can provide me a machine to get 72 or 96 hours a day, I'll put it 1st on my DIY list

If smth is unreadable, point it to me, there are only 2 capacitor values I can't read on my tracing paper.
These are scans of hand-traced shit I made when I repaired a friend's SCF, it's not made with som CAD or photo-editor, I can't edit, sorry

Stephanovitch · Post by **Stephanovitch** » 17 Sep 2012, 19:24

Someone else to watch in this stompboxes to complete values?

iznogoud · Post by **iznogoud** » 17 Sep 2012, 19:48

okgb should do it as soon as possible as he's got the hands on his...
Or we'll have to wait when my buddy which has moved recently puts his hands back on the one I repaired.
't must be in a cardboard box and as he's overbooked too... Or when s.o comes playin' with one at the club, so I can unscrew this

We're not far away to have the complete shit you know...
But I can't tell if there are things to calibrate with an oscilloscope or not as there are some variable resistors

If yes, don't ask me for the modus operandi

, I fear that s.o with chorus/flanger calibrating skills will have to help

My Apologies , picked up a few more days of work , I'll get it done in the next day or two
I owe way more here than I can give back , thanks

Components values with red "?" must be verified

okgb · Post by **okgb** » 25 Oct 2012, 15:37

Sorry for forgetting about this , do we still need more pix ?

Stephanovitch · Post by **Stephanovitch** » 25 Oct 2012, 21:03

If I red circle components (who must verify) on pics are you able to read values on them?

sadrew · Post by **sadrew** » 17 Mar 2013, 20:20

so bad we couldn't get this at the end. this is really a great pedal!

i can offer pcb design if schematic gets finished at some point

Hi dudes.
Long time no see.
I kinda rewrote some things as I has a (too fast

) access in a SCF.
Everything but an electrolytic cap value is now readable.

the red barred circles are holes in the PCB

circle components with a leg are vertically mounted resistors
comrad Stephanovich, I tried to make em more readable but if you can't read it, point me the ones u can't and I'll do it 4U

Sadrew : the only thing to do bout PCB design is to redraw it 'cleanly' with graphic editor. Had it verified several times when I cracked the stompbox

I think this time we could bring it at an end or very very close to.
Is there really nobody on the forum who's got an easier hand than me on this baby?

Especially hat I'm considering building one, but slightly adapt it : i intend to build myself an analog 19' multi Fx to complete my main touring rig which will be a small 6U one and I'd like to avoid most of stomps in the pedal board : I want to travel light
