Brian,

We are always glad to help a fellow solder jockey. But first, we will need complete build notes and some better photos of your build.

I am sure if we all put our heads together, we can help your troubleshoot your project.


;D

Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: gtr2 on March 23, 2011, 08:22:28 AM
so mean... the circuit looks interesting big IC in there
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: madbean on March 23, 2011, 09:50:55 AM
Actually, I came up with another idea that may involve adding another big IC. It's either really clever or incredibly stupid. I'll have to put this whole thing on the breadboard now to figure out which is true :(

hmmn....that big chip in there wouldn't happen to be a pt2399, would it?
or an LM324N?
....actually I can't really tell how many pins there are...hmmn...
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: k.rock! on March 24, 2011, 03:02:20 PM
Looks to me like it has 14 pins...so definitely not a PT2399...a LM324N perhaps...
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: madbean on March 24, 2011, 03:08:45 PM
I'm going to put the "deluxe" idea on hold for the moment as it will take some time to flesh out. However, the basic effect is just about finished. Two more hints:

The two little boards can be plugged in to the main board.
One of the controls on the main board is called "shimmer".

(it's a 16 pin IC)

Post by: jkokura on March 24, 2011, 03:22:22 PM
yay reverb?

I can't wait.

Also, I like reverb, so that's what I'm hoping for.

Also again, the Zero Point makes me think of stargate atlantis, which makes me think awesome. Cause now I can have my star wars echobase plugged into my stagate zeropoint. Also, we need a startrek pedal of some sort. Perhaps the phaser?

Post by: Haberdasher on March 24, 2011, 05:54:08 PM
yeah "deluxe" and "shimmer" seem to be leaning that way, methinks.

Post by: madbean on March 25, 2011, 03:44:44 AM
Not a reverb. Sorry :(

A reverb might plug into it though.

I'll stop teasing as soon as it's done...should be another day or so.
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: k.rock! on March 25, 2011, 02:16:28 PM
Hmmm...Now I'm really thinking this is a pitch shifter...shimmer effects? reverb plugging into it?  :o That would be KILLER!
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: k.rock! on March 29, 2011, 10:48:18 AM
So....did I nail it or something?  :P Seems like it got awfully quiet when I posted about the shimmer effect...don't play with my emotions Bean!  :o Cause I've been wanting to do something like this for a while man! haha!

No, I believe he mentioned it's an add on board to make any pedal turn into a DL-44 blaster like Hans Solo carries.
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: madbean on March 29, 2011, 12:24:45 PM
I don't think anyone guessed correctly. It's on the back burner for a couple more days...I've got too many orders to finish right now. But, it will get finished and soon!

blue sky like strymon? It's a reverb!

The...Sky's the limit? It's a limiter!

Zero Point...Is this the Vanishing Point somebody mentioned?
???
Ring mod? An amp in a box?
Ooh a looper!!

Isn't this the sequencer of the Ooh Wah thing that you've been working on?  The one that can be connected up as a seq trem or seq wah or seq phaser etc etc?

Post by: gtr2 on March 30, 2011, 09:02:16 AM
I'm thinking a harmonizer of some sort.  Based on the "Blue Sky" and shimmer clues.  Probably wrong though...
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: madbean on March 30, 2011, 09:08:53 AM
Okay, I've dragged this out long enough....it's based off the MP Deep Blue but highly modified. Different input section with gain control, different feedback section that allows you to adjust the tone of the feedback (Shimmer). The two extra boards are plug-in modulation based on two different LFOs. These can also be used for other delays and some non-standard applications that will be coming in future projects.

Lastly, there might be one additional warble mod which I want to try out on the feedback path.

Also...I'm working on something that would let you sync the LFO to other effects...but that's a ways off.

You guys have vivid imaginations, though :).

Any chance of a tap tempo input?  :o
Title: Re: Make your time...
Post by: jkokura on March 30, 2011, 09:35:49 AM
Since it's a PT2399 delay, it's likely the Taptation would be you best bet currently. I wish Decc would answer my emails about the Ptap.

I was willing to buy it from him, like the circuit or whatever, I think there's still a market for it. I got Rob to email me back and forth for a while, but he doesn't respond anymore.

That really blows. PTAP works well. It seems like they'd at least license the code.
