Here's the pedal : http://www.deviever.com/fx/improbability-drive/

Devi, you crazy.

Hallo. I think it's very generous, and inspiring, move.
I don' remember who, but someone here in FSB once said every manufacturer should give the schems of their effects; it seems right to me.

Devi, you the best. Hire me or hit up that pager.

Every person should give me $20. Seems right to me.

If I do it 7.5 times can I have a deuce coupe?

I agree.

The name is spot-on, though. I find it improbable that the circuit would work as drawn. And yet it does!

Oh Devi - If only I were younger!

U freak!!!
Nice sounding pedal! IMHO, I'll try with some like this:

Since your works are so beautifull it seems right....

But I really don't understand why keep a circuit secret: if the price is right compared to sound/quality/beauty of the pedal it is good to buy it; if it is almost unavailable, out of production or you hate the producer personally it is good cloning.

Devi's prices seems right to me, sounds are very subjective of course; the quality seems better than the first pedals I saw here on fsb.

by the way, it seems that mictester was reading this tread and suddenly fell down from his chair reporting severe injuries.

Devi is always moving and looking. Respect

Here´s my try on a Vero. Not yet verified!

Love the name!

always interesting Dev.

There's like 11 quadrillion ohms in that thing.

It changes treble response with ait humidity

Sorry for the necro-bump, but does anyone still have the schematic for this? Links are dead.

Thanks all.

If you can work around the spammy image host (a pain but doable), I think this is the schematic Devi shared.

Ken at Infanem is selling his final run of IDs for $99 right now. He might share the v1/v2 distinction once he's done. I have half a notion it may have been the volume knob wiring, but I could be off.

BTW, verified veros are in the tagboardeffects forum. But if anyone is doing a labor-saving PCB (board-mounted pots and switches) I'm in.

Thanks a bunch man!!

I've managed to order one of the last ID's from Infanem, so I'll know soon enough what the V1/V2 thingy is. You'll know when I know.

The vero posted early on in this thread didn't mention any pot values. That was bugging me, hence the schematic request.

Can't wait until the ID gets here. Sounds awesome.

I'm pretty sure she just used 100k log pots for everything. If you google any of her other pedals for schematics that's what all of the ones I've seen are.

I would suggest 10k with a treble bleed trick would've been far more usable for the volume control on pretty much everything she made. Also her volume pots always seem to be wired such that the setting of the volume pot affects output impedance (ie, wiper to switch, lug 3 to circuit output). Probably achieve more consistent results by connecting lug 3 to switch, wiper to circuit output. Haven't looked at the vero here, don't know if that's accurate here, but it's something to consider if you're looking at her circuits in general.

For pre-gain, the 100k audio pot she always seemed to use is okay, but that's kind of dropping the input impedance of the circuit pretty low. 1M or 500k would probably give you less loss of highs, though these circuits tend to be so harsh that dumping treble on input like that might not be a terribly bad idea either. It's worth experimenting.

I've breadboarded half a dozen of her circuits and to be perfectly honest, I don't think there's much value in chasing 100% accuracy here. The part values are from a small collection of values for each type of component, she standardized that to cut costs (smart) but I hiiiiiiiighly doubt there was a lot of experimentation done to determine if those were in any way the ideal values. So do what she did: make the circuit work with the parts you have on hand to save money. It'll still be an outrageous noisemaker I'm sure.
