General Questions / remote switch
September 12, 2019, 08:18:14 PM
Does anyone know if it is possible to switch a diy pedal on/off via remote jack?

Thanks

I have a Boss ME-70 that makes very weird noises. There's only a very poor and distorted guitar signal coming through.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY5gxuTHdDk

I already did a factory reset, but without any change.

Anyone recognizes this problem?

I want to build the Airbrake and I happen to have 30 Ohm instead of the required 25 Ohm power resistors.
Would this be a problem for the Airbrake? (please see attached layout)
Please teach me.
Thanks

I'm wondering what the Mad professor Sweet Honey circuit is based on. Is it based on a TS or more RAT like?
Thanks

General Questions / Triple Wreck whining
August 21, 2016, 09:56:41 AM
I built a triple wreck and it whines a lot... I built it with a charge pump (18v). Anyone know what to look for (other then short leads)?

I built the MXR 120 envelope filter (Tonepad): http://tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=113

I have a dry guitar signal but no effect. I'm not doing any of the mods. Can anyone point out to me what I need to jumper (if any)?
Thanks in advance!

Built the Harbinger One, sounds great but is it possible to increase the volume? It barely reaches unity gain.

Thanks!

I have an original  MI Audio Crunch box from 2005 with volume problems. At first the volume would change too radically at 09.00. Very hard to dial in. So I changed the 100kb pot to 100ka hoping that this would make dialing in easier. Unfortunately now it won't dial in at all; it's maxed out all the time; changing back to the 100kb pot doesn't change it.
Would anyone have an idea?

Guys, I'm building a Klon. It requires bat41 diodes but I have mistakenly ordered bat42 diodes. Are they very different from bat41's? Could these fail in time?
#10
Just finished the Harbinger one (2015 version) but no sound, only humming.

Did I miss something? Can someone take a look?

I built brian's Pork Barrel but there's no effect at all :/
Either engaged or off I have a (normal) guitarsignal. The lfo and on/off led work.

Could you guys take a look?

Open Discussion / Recommendations layout Switcher
February 07, 2015, 07:35:46 PM
Hi Guys, is there a layout available for a Switcher that can switch between a couple of pedals in series AND a couple of pedals via the effectsloop of an amp?
This comes close: http://lehle.com/IT/Lehle-Little-Dual

Hope to hear some ideas!

Open Discussion / BB Preamp lacks gain and bite
September 07, 2014, 04:17:00 PM
Guys, just finished a BB prreamp (Glitterratti) but it's too tame in comparison to what I hear in several clips on youtube. It lacks gain and doesn't 'bite' 9if that makes sense).
Someone on this forum suggested increasing the values of r11 and r16 but that messes too much with the overall tonal qualities of the BB.

Anyone ideas?

I finished the  Nu-TRon II Phaser and I absolutely love it!

Only thing is that it TICKS very annoyingly (with the speed of the sweep). It's much too loud to overlook.
I tried to dress the wires differently but nothing helps.
I noticed that it even ticks when bypassed  :o
The funny thing is that it stops ticking when I put an overdrive in front of it.
It does get louder or more quite when I move the pcb around...
I'm using a diffused led...
I took the rate indicator out, but unfortunately no change (bad or good)

Any ideas?

A while ago I heard an Ibanez FZ7 Fuzz pedal. It has this great function on it called 'Damage'. This simulates a broken speaker.
You can hear it a little in ZZtop's 'Alley Gator' (2:10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzDTOjjMNVg

Does anyone know how this works and how it could be installed on other pedals?

General Questions / sub for K246 gr jfet?
March 30, 2013, 12:35:39 PM
Building an overdrive which needs an K246 gr Jfet. Are there any subs for it?
#18
I built an overdrive and I can't get it to work. I need some technical help from the pro's of this forum.
The problem is that I have a bypassed signal, but as soon as I engage there's nothing.
I didn't box it yet, but I did ground it right.

Any suggestions?
