Fascinating post! Thanks for all the data. The fuzz and 3 transistors tube-sound are quite interesting...

125USD :scratch: It would be a cool DIY project though
Would be a better business model if he just sold pcbs and plastic case imho

Hey guys, I'm working on attempting to rebuild the Electra Filter follower, and am having difficulty with the CA3094 with respect to the schematics.

Anyone helping with understanding that part, I'd appreciate it.

Here's a link to PJ and the Beard using my Electra Vibe/Chorus and my Electra Distortion builds!

stolen off a facebook group.

i'd like to say personally FUCK MARK ZUCKERBERG. he's a reptilian weeny that sucks on octopus assholes.

this is the most worthwhile shit i ever found on his shitty fucking platform

So none of these actually match the Electra Distortion schematic that is commonly available - interesting... Has anyone actually seen a version of the Power Overdrive with the additional diodes or a Tube Sound matching the Distortion schem that we've all seen?

:?
So, I have attempted to follow the schematics for a few of these modules, and there are discrepancies between them and the actual modules. For instance, on the Flanger, the there is no schematic for the top board available, one Trimmer is listed as 100K on the BOM and schematic, and shown as 1M on the upper board drawing. I've found other discrepancies, and if anyone has a schematic of the flanger top board, I could use it.

Now I had the opportunity to repair a plastic cased Tube sound for a friend, and that module is the only plastic cased Tube Sound that I have seen. Mine is resin cased. However, I drew it out and it is exactly the Tube Sound schematic listed in the MPC schematic archives provided by pinkjimiphoton.

I hope I can find where I put it now. But, if you reference the PJ and the Beard Electra series on the Tube Sound, Josh Scott of JHS states that the Tube Sound is the Electra Distortion circuit (Power Overdrive with two diodes added). That's not what I found. I provided PJ and the Beard with an Electra Distortion module I made for comparison. You can hear the two in the video.
