I'd say it's coming from the stomp switch to turn the LED on/off. You can see it goes to the LED and the circuit then goes from the LED to R6 (the LED resistor).

It occurred to me in a dream that you owe it to yourself to call this pedal the dyana ross.


Err.. No. It's a copy of a Dyna Ross, so it should be called a Jaxon (or Jackson, or Jaxxon, or something Jacko-related (RIP))

Good taste and I have never been close.  ;)

Thanks, All!

I should be finishing marking papers by the middle of next week (woo hoo!  ;D ) so I might do a breadboard  build and see what I come up with.

It's all fun and games, isn't it! Well, it will be after going through another bunch of Copyright Law papers... ;)

Hi, all!  Sorry for the dumb question.

I'm curious about the Neutrino build. I see there is a Burst vs Black build option.

Lovepedals are a bit thin on the ground where I am so I can't A/B. I've had a look on YouTube for Eternities, and the quality hasn't been good enough to pick enough of a difference to convince me one way or another. I also see that Lovepedal has now moved on to the Eternity Fuse, and the "eternity Promo" vid doesn't mention which model, so their site isn't much help.  :-[

So, OK, I see assymetrical clipping, and a bit more filtering; is there a significant tonal difference between Brian's two Neutrinos?   ???

Cheers

I'm definitely a player first, builder second.

I teach a Music Industry course, which not only covers performance and composition, but also little issues like copyright, management, and the like. I also play at a minimum three nights a week- not necessarily paying gigs, but in groups or social clubs in the local area. For example, despite not being too interested in the genre, I even go to a country and western social club, just to keep my hand in and my eyes open, if you get my drift.

I've played for over 30 years  :o  and about 5 or 6 years ago, I found that I was getting increasingly unhappy with the sound I was getting. So I started off building little amps then big amps (thank you, Tino Zottola). Having survived tube amp voltages, I started on my effects. I learned as I was going, but also by referring to a lot of forums and exposing my stupidity!

I found that I ended up with a whole lot of gear I was trying out, but through natural selection narrowed it down to a set of good, solid pedals.  Every pedal has either been DIY'd or DIModded, except for a Digitech Brian May I use at some gigs- but I did make a FS3X for switching.

I don't hunt for new FX like I used to, but from time to time some little circuit will catch my eye, and I enjoy not only building it, but playing with it until I decide if it stays or if it goes.

And of course, I find it's wise to have two or three of each pedals. If someone comes up at a gig and offers me $$, I'd be a fool to not hand it over, right?  :D
