Deadly. I'd totally rock that thing. Mind you, it could have nothing in it and it'd look cool.

Also, you should start your own build reports when you make them. I split this one off for you.

So others know, can integrate the taptation into the Cave Dweller. Yes, you would do is keep R11 and the Time pot off your Cave Dweller PCB, and then you'd connect the pin 6 connection of the Taptation to the Pin 6 side of R11 on the Cave Dweller.

As to whether you should... I haven't tried it with the Cave Dweller yet, so I'd be interested in hearing it. With a DBD type deal, it sounds fantastic!

Jacob

If you've tried the usual solutions, one last thing you may not have tried is replacing the switch. Sometimes, it's the switch itself which is faulty.

Jacob

Yep, you did Ian, and supplied some of the parts!

It should be noted I am interested in doing many collaboration builds.

Jacob

Easy gentlemen. Please be kind.

Jacob

And another sighting. It might be real, even if it's photoshopped. I think Bill's made a poor choice doing that text on his pedal. I would WAAAAAAAAY prefer nothing at all to that message.

For those of you who have trouble growing facial hair.

(just kidding... you're supposed to laugh)

Jacob

I tried to fix your link, but it seems you left something out. Try again?

Jacob

I'm sorry if I were a wet blanket, I didn't mean to be. But in many cases, what we've seen in the past is people asking for help designing a circuit or modding a circuit that they don't yet understand. What I'd rather see is people asking for help understanding a circuit so they can learn to modify it and get satisfying results themselves - and there's no substitute to learning on the job. Teach a man to fish and all that.

What I'd do is look up the schematics for the Bluesbreaker and the Marshall Drivemaster. If you compare the circuits, you'll see a lot of similarities, but some differences. Learn how to breadboard each, learn how they both work, and then come up with your own combination circuit. Modify that, and you'll be well on the way to what you're asking about.

Dude, you win, hands down, I was just trying to derail this thread into the awesomeness that is the Duck Commander.

What on earth is the Duck Commander? (by the way, best Madbean thread ever)

Jacob

Curtis... you don't want to start this... Mostly because I want to play...

Jacob

Oh, beards.

I'm performing an experiment: I have't shaved since Monday. I now have a 3:00 shadow. I'll let you know when I reach 5:00. Could be sometime next week.

Don't stop there. Eventually, you will have the manliness you truly aspire to.

All kidding aside, I think this thread needs a beard pic.

Jacob

Or if the mid switch is too complicated, what about Treb/Mid/Bass controls?

Then you're just looking at different Marshall effects, other than the Bluesbreaker.

I think what you're trying to do is mod a circuit so far, that you're not aware that there are other circuits that would give you the same sort of effect already.

The Bluesbreaker is just a derivative of the Dual Op Amp overdrive. Yes, it uses a peculiar set of diodes for creating clipping, and the tone section is certainly it's own, but you may find the sort of circuit you're looking for in other places, and then find it easier to modify that circuit to more resemble the Bluesbreaker.

I think what I would suggest is that you spend some time understanding how dual op amps, tone stacks, and clipping diodes work. It's ok to not know how things work and build them, but in this case it really sounds like you need to learn how these things work in order to design the thing you're looking for.

Jacob

It says "may the force be with you!" That's all I needed to hear man, all I needed to hear!

What kind of delay time would we be looking at with four MN3008s? This just looks so sweet...

Same as 2 MN3005's. The whole idea behind this thing is for it to be like the DM-2/Aquaboy sort of sound, but double the delay time, and running at +15V not 9V.

Thanks guys.

Jacob

Thanks to Scott, this pedal looks waaay better than my usual plain jane.

The Glitz is a Glitch Computer clone. Rad circuit. Sort of like a glitchy fuzz, with a -2 octave note added in. Originally I was getting some weird noise on the bypass. I raised the output cap value, and it seems to be doing better.



Glamour shots.





And the Guts.



Enjoy!
