Build Reports / Serendipity JRC 4580D
August 15, 2012, 07:47:37 AM
I built the serendipity a couple of years ago and never really liked it compared to some of my other builds so it just sat there unboxed.  I thought I would try a few mods to see if I could get a better sound out of it.  Tried a JRC 4580D and Bat 41 and oh my this this sounds wonderful! Has a really nice softness about the tone that I really dig.

Also realised that having my Boss TU2 tuner fist in the chain was not such a great idea.  The buffer in that bad boy was really messing with the tone of my Sunking and Arisocrat - put the Tu2 after all the drives in my chain and every pedal sounds better!

Dang it now I have to box the serendipity up now sounds too good to leave it on my desk!

Build Reports / Sunking converted to True Bypass
October 08, 2011, 10:37:33 AM
I've had my buffered V3 sunking on my pedalboard for about a year now and still love the tone of this beast.  I temporarily removed the sunking from my board and found that wow my aristocrat sounds much better with more dymanics and better response without the sunking in the chain.  So I decided to mod the sunking to true bypass - much happier.  I figured I already have a TU2 and eventide timefactor both of which already have buffers no need for a third one.

General Questions / Sunking subs from original?
March 15, 2011, 01:10:39 PM
Hi

I was comparing the schem of the Sunking with the Sargatarian Charger at FSB.  There seems to be quite a few component subs between these two.  Which version is closer to the actual klon or is there a few variations of original klons out there?

At a quick glance these values appear different- R5, R7, R16, C2, C4, C5, C7 and C13.  (Component numbering as per Sunking Schem).
