which size should i print the drill plan of the Queen of bone doc, to apply the "real" measurements
ive tried letter and A4 but none lead to the actual size
or how you guys do it?

for the most drill plans with the enclosure shows, i did a screenshot and resized the graphic to the real enclosures measurements

thanks a lot
(sorry for the stupid question)

i kinda struggle to find good ones
which brand of waterslides do you prefer?

hi

just noticed that in the weener wah build doc
http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/WeenerWah/WeenerWahII.pdf
on page 4, notes theres a paragraph that states, the 33k would produce a sharper Q than the 100k
actually i think its the other way round (have seen this on many forums / pages)

http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/wahpedl/wahped.htm

or im getting something wrong?

quick question:
i see the 250k trim combined with two 47k resistors in the harbinger. so in total 350j
the original uses a 47k and a 100k
in the forum vibe a 250k trimpot is used without any resistors

how does bigger resistance influence the sound?
im thinkin of omitting the 250k trimpot and go with the original values

hey guys

dumb question, found this one on FSB
http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=507&start=200

looks like the vibe i really dig and wanna build
the problem, i cant etch any / fab any pcbs at home, missing equipment and im only need one of this...

anyone could fab me a board for some money? or if anyone interested, (group buy thing) we can order more fab boards (eg from OSH park), anyone in?

any tips? sorry, im a newb in this 

Hi

This is my first 1590A build and my second usage of envirotex
great fuzz circuit, man this thing sounds huge
was a fun build

thanks to rullywow for this great pcb, its small and really easy to build

anyone ever built this?
sounds interesting to me



heres a demo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLMA_vvUfZw

i just finished this great phaser with stock values lots of good tones.

this is my first time using envirotex and im more than happy. thats the pedal finish ive been lookin for, search is over should have tried it out long ago
easy to use and great results, preserves really well.
thankyou guys, you turned me to it

im using the rate LED also as bypass LED. i think 2 leds are too much





thight fit, but worked out well

heres my version of the pork barrel.
very tight fit in a 1590b, was quite a challenge to stuff it there.
connected the wires wrong on the input jack and wondered why i didnt even get bypass sound. haha didnt thought i still can make such a mistake 
the pedal now works fine and sounds great

3pdt switching board is from uk-electronic, really small, like it.

i know folks the hendrix stuff has been done to death... but im a huge fan
and i had this idea recently to do kinda big pedal which covers all of his sounds, that mean one box with:

-) fuzz, fuzzface
-) octavia
-) univibe
-) wah (maybe autowah ? )

dont know if i every gonna start this, but would be useful box though for jams / rehearsal

everyone every done something like this?

cheerz

is it possible to use a mn3207 with a mn3101 for the prk barrel?
ordered the wrong ic
thanks :-)

hey folks

just a basic random question, you can move or delete this topic if its inappropriate here...

since im starting soon to build the stage fright, i wanna know whats your favourite phaser project overall?

i also built some univibes, which are intended to be a chorus, but have a phasing sound too

im always curious and hungry for tips and new ideas

hi

this is my try of the current lover
great sounding pedal, first flanger i did.

its probably the tightest build i ever did so far

Hi

the build doc says, to set all trimpot to their middle position, and all pots except "rate"
first, the volume is very low on the the middle position, so i turned it up to max.
Next, I only get a signal when the Bias trimpot is turned clockwise to at least 75%, before that theres no signal at all. is that ok or is something wrong in my build?

The clock trimpot behave strange too. whatever i set my bias trimpot, the pedal makes strange noises when the rates increased.
I have to setup the Clock trimpot to a minimum (nearly full counter clockwise)
Next, the flanging itself seems to lower the more i turn the clock trimpot up. legit?

the T1 trimpot works as described in the Doc.

The pedal seems to work overall, some chorus and flange sounds there, but i have to bias it different than in the build doc.
Also the flange (plane like sound) is not too loud

maybe i have some part values wrong? or does it sound correct overall?

thanks in advance and sorry for the long text

is it possible in any way, to include a Rate LED for the current lover?
a LED that blinks with the current rate (speed)

the original didnt have one too, but im just curious

thanks

hi

can i use a 10KA instead of 10KB pot for the feedback on the current lover?

thanks

hi

i powered my deadringer II up, and the 10R resistor blew...
too bad i used a 1/4W instead of 1/2W

whats the purpose of the Q7 and the R32 (10R) ?
they arent there in the original schematics. can i omit them and connect 9V directly to the 220uF cap?

thanks a lot

Finally i got this made
very delicious sounding pedal.
love the clipping options





Some things i noticed during building:
-) the pcb fits exactly in a 1590b. horizontally theres no space left. maybe the pcb could be a little bit smaller
-) the pots are placed very tight vertically. that can cause a short circuit when mounting to the enclosure. ive used tape to fix this.

overall, very great sounding pedal and a lot of fun to build!

hi folks

ive a problem, maybe anyone has experienced similar.
i have a increased background noise with the weener wah. the wah works and its sounds great, but theres an increased noise when its switched on.

ive checked the grounding, enclosure is grounded, jacks too.

maybe someone has some dummy tips

thanks

note: its doesnt happen with my other wah

heres my weener wah
finally got it made (also on my blog)

i used metal films, tropical fish, polystyrene, orange drop and mallory caps (different ones for the filter caps)

built it into an old crybaby wah shell and used the whipple iductor

the boost section is very loud, but can be bypassed anyway.

sounds really great
