Perfect, thank you!

Hi,

Building a junction box for my pedal board, which has buffers, a passive bypass (connects input straight to output):

Guitar --> | Buffer -> True bypass looper -> Buffer | --> Amp

Am using Klon buffer circuits.

Am wanting to add a tuner out split off the input. Am I best doing that pre or post buffer, or does it not matter?

Also, i'm wanting to add a mute switch on the output, before the amp. I believe I just connect the signal to ground? - is it fine to do that in front of the amp and leave it sat like that?

Thanks!

Ian

Madbean - you say in the Kingslayer 2 doc about not knowing how to do the buffered/true bypass switch.

The info is here:

See especially the comments by paulc, who did the design for the KTR.....and this link:

Any update madbean?

Is there any chance you'll extend the sale to allow purchase of the new boards?

Thanks,

Ian

So if I read that right, the deadringer's boost doesn't need the OD portion on to work?

Yep.

madbean - is the boost pre, or post overdrive?

That's very interesting - thanks.

So the SunKing II is still exactly based on the same stock schematic (and therefore sound), but has the capability for the extra mods?

Deadringer2 - interesting! - is that at all based on the FD-3, or is the JFET boost just a co-incidence?

How much has it changed from the FD-2 schematic & sound? - is the core schematic/sound of the overdrive side the same but with optional mods?

I forgot to ask about the Kingslayer 2014! - what's changed on that one?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi,

I was wondering what the changes are in the 2014 editions of Green Bean, Kingslayer and Deadringer 2?

Has it been posted any where (have been searching but not found anything yet), or is madbean able to comment?

The SunKing II is mainly just a re-production with a different layout but not really any changes to the circuit, right?

PS: The DeadRinger 2 is listed on the Projects page as coming 04.05, but isn't shown in the list at the very top of the page.

Thanks,

Ian

Specifically, larger input cap, maybe tweaking the tone or presence functions, a higher gain pot, and using different diodes and op-amp on the two channels. It opens up more that way.

Any information on how to tweak the tone or presence functions?

What diodes and op-amps do people like?

I'm also getting switch popping on mine - even after boxing.

Ian

Interesting, thanks!

I also stacked all of them, together and in combinations, but that's a story for another day.

Do tell!!

Ian

Isn't that a 0 ohm resistor - i.e a wire link?

Ian

222000 - 15% off, valid until 9th June!

Just finished a Silverfox (Barber LTD) build and am testing it before boxing.

It sounds good, but it seems to be quite bright - i've got the tone control on minimum and it's not bad, but if there was more turn, i'd still want to take it down a bit further.

Is that normal for the Silver, or have I got something wrong somewhere?

Also, and possibly related?, but my presence trim pot doesn't seem to make any difference at all.
(the mid and bass ones do have a noticeable difference but I ended up leaving them in the centre).

I measured the resistance on it and it's 11k at full turn, but I can't hear any difference at all - is it subtle or do I have a problem?

Thanks,

Ian

Ahh, ok.

Ian

Where did you get them from? - have you tested they are definitely genuine and working?
