Title: Lovetone RingStinger II
Post by: LaceSensor on April 30, 2012, 04:19:16 PM
Built one of these before, I actually bought enough of everything to make a second one.
Its taken me a long time to get round to it!

Also, funny how sometimes a simple fuzz pedal will refuse to put out, but I can knock this together and it fires up first time, no dramas...

I made an improvement to this second one, by grounding the input to the PCB when the effect is bypassed.
I noticed on my first build that while bypassed with Octave mode selected, you'd hear the octave fuzz in the background.

This was so successfull I then replaced the DPDT for a 3PDT in my first build.

So the second one:

and the brothers together:

old one with the bypass mod

IF anyone wants me make me a good offer id rather one went to the community, but I do have a vague request from someone to give them a call when I finally finished the second one ;)

I can tell this one is a labor of love on your part! What a work of art...

I'm thinking samples or a demo would be nice!

I did a long demo the last time I made one.

You sure did! This thing is unreal. I think the stuff you were playing really brought out the best in it.

When it comes to Lovetone, I go all out on my builds, or try to.
Still trying to reverse a DoppelGanger might have to to revisit that, its been in the cupboard for weeks and weeks.
