General Questions / Runt Resistor Question
April 09, 2013, 02:12:56 PM
The Runt has 2x 47R resistors. All I have is 33R and 10R in my stash. If I teepee these, will the 43R be good enough? I'm thinking it will, but I'd like to get a surefire reply lol

Thanks!

Open Discussion / Fuzz Recommendation?
November 27, 2012, 09:48:19 AM
Seeing Scruffie's post about fuzzes made me want to ask this question, but I didn't want to hijack his post. What would be a good fuzz for someone who's not a big fuzz fan? I built a Zombii, but I don't like the wild fuzz tones that one makes.

I know I like the Musket, but I'm not a big fan of a normal Muff circuit. I like something that has more mids than the scooped Muff sound. I also like the Mojo Hand Crosstown Fuzz, which is a germanium/silicon Fuzz Face hybrid.

Anyway, any recommendations would be great!

General Questions / FX Loop in a Sea Urchin?
November 16, 2012, 12:18:51 PM
Is it possible to add this to a Sea Urchin project? I'd like to be able to enable/disable the fx loop with a toggle switch (on/off dpdt?).

Open Discussion / I Need Some Help
October 25, 2012, 12:31:06 PM
So I have an idea for a mod I want to do to a circuit to make it my own, but I have absolutely no idea how to make it happen. Would anyone be willing to help me out (I'm totally new to modifying circuits, so I'd need it all to be explained in the simplest way possible haha)?

If anyone would like to offer help, please PM me and I'll give you more of the details. THANKS!!

Open Discussion / Thoughts on this Pedal?
October 16, 2012, 07:13:06 AM
Has anyone ever tried the Emerson Em-Drive pedal? I found this picture online of the guts. Surely it can't be 2 caps, 2 resistors, and a tranny, can it?



From the clips I've heard, it sounds awesome! And a few people have claimed it kicked their Timmy off their board. Thoughts?

Requests / Mid boost like the Suhr Koko Boost?
August 02, 2012, 01:17:22 PM
Does anyone know of a project (or can someone make one) similar to the Suhr Koko Boost? It has 2 channels; a Clean boost on one side and a Mid boost on the other. Sounds interesting, j/w if anyone knew of how to replicate this?

The mid boost is the part I'm more interested in.

How Do I? Beginner's Paradise. / W Taper?
June 14, 2012, 08:23:58 AM
What is it?

Is there a substitute for LM386 at all? I've been looking up different drive circuits and a few that I like require LM386's and I don't have any lol

Would any of these that I DO have on hand work? I have 4559, 4558, TL072, TL071, LF351N, CA3130EZ (and PT2399, but I know that won't work haha).

General Questions / Substitute for 1N34A?
March 18, 2012, 02:18:04 PM
A while back I had purchased the instructions for modding a Blues Driver from the Monte Allums site. Well I finally got around to doing it yesterday. I had every part I needed except for a 1N34A Germanium diode. Is there anything I can replace it with? Currently, I only have these diodes: 1N4148, 1N4004, 1N4002, 1N4001, 1N4742, 1N5819, and 1N270.

The mod sounds pretty good like it is, but I'd like to finish the mod completely lol

Yesterday I bought everything I need to make my own breadboard prototyping rig. So I want to get a few schematics and possibly toy around with making my own circuit but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to schematics. I'm not wanting to make a Timmy, but this schematic has the example I wanted to ask about.

http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=905.0;attach=2918;image

What is VB and how does the top part attach to the rest of the schematic?

This one also has the same type of disconnected part, but it says V+ and VR (whatever THAT means...): http://home.centurytel.net/flanneldrawers/mbb-sch-n.jpg

HALP MEH!

Anyone know anything about the Jetter Jet Drive?

Build Reports / My Best Yet IMO (Sea Urchin)
February 21, 2012, 05:39:17 PM
SO proud of this build. This is by far the most I've done as far as decorating the enclosure goes. I designed the decal myself in photoshop. Most importantly, it sounds great!!

Tech Help - Projects Page / Sea Urchin Resistor Question
February 21, 2012, 10:12:38 AM
I'm in the process of making a Sea Urchin and I don't have a 33R resistor for R7. What would happen if I put three 10R's in series in its place? That would only be 30R, I know, but would that be close enough?

Also, I did something similar with the 360k resistor. I put two 180k's in series. That DOES work, right (sorry, noob question lol)?

Build Reports / Slambox for a Friend
February 17, 2012, 06:52:27 PM
Yet another SHO (Slambox) for a friend of mine. Etching courtesy of our own Haberdasher! Color is Red Starlight from PPP. Wiring is decent, I guess lol

General Questions / Diode Question
February 12, 2012, 02:22:29 PM
I'm building a SHO clone for a friend and I'm out of 9.1v Zener Diodes. Is there anything else I can substitute it with? I have 1N4148's, 1N4004's, 1N4001's, 1N4742's, and 1N5819's on hand and it would be great if I could use one of those instead.

Also, could someone tell me why this vero layout has so little parts compared to the Madbean Slambox (Slambox has 1 extra resistor, 1 extra cap, and 1 extra diode)? I'm pretty sure the extra resistor is a CLR, but the other parts?

Thanks!

General Questions / 2-in-1 Wiring Question
January 25, 2012, 11:16:33 AM
I found a diagram for wiring 2 effects in one enclosure, but is it possible to wire a 2-in-1 using gtr2(Josh)'s 3PDT boards?

These:

I'd like to be able to use those to cut down on the wiring inside my enclosure. If it's possible can someone please draw a diagram for me? Oh and the 2 effects I'm putting in an enclosure are both on vero, if that makes any difference. Thanks!

Open Discussion / 2-in-1 Suggestions?
January 19, 2012, 11:11:10 AM
I'm thinking about making a 2-in-1 pedal and I'm not sure what to build yet. I have an unpopulated Serendipity (Zen Drive) board, so I was thinking maybe a Zen Drive and a Wampler Plexidrive combo? Or maybe a Plexidrive/SHO combo?

I'm kinda leaning towards a low gain/med-high gain combo (something like the T1M Pearl, JHS Sweet Tea or Double Barrel, etc), but I don't want to use a TS-style OD since I already have that.

Any suggestions (it doesn't have to be any of the ones I named lol)? Oh, and I don't do etching, so it would have to be something I could find a vero layout for :P

Open Discussion / Clean Blend?
December 27, 2011, 10:55:21 AM
How difficult is it to add a clean blend knob to a project?

For example, I want to build something along the lines of a JHS Pulp n Peel or a Barber Tone Press (a compressor with a volume, comp, and blend knob). So I figured I'd try an Orange Squeezer vero I found, but I wanted to know if anyone could show me how to add a clean blend to it.

This is the vero layout if that helps: http://www.sabrotone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Orange-Squeezer.gif

Thanks!

Open Discussion / T1M Tap Tempo Enclosure?
November 08, 2011, 11:17:30 AM
Would anyone happen to know where I could get an enclosure like Dan from T1M uses for his tap tempo pedals?

Here's a pic: http://this1smyne.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/SnapperTapTempo-1.jpg

Open Discussion / iPhone version?
November 05, 2011, 03:27:17 PM
Brian, I know this may be a tough request but is there any way you could make this forum compatible with the ForumRunner app? I know TGP's forums work with it and it would be nice if this one did too. Anyway, just wondering lol
