And another one!

This one is a sea urchin with a tap tempo kit from uk electronics

second unit that i build and my friend want this one to have a jack to plug is external tap switch

The first unit that i build i notice that the blink rate of the tap led was out of the time but this second one (and according to the manufacturer) as improved a lot...

this is not a digital delay so when you tap the new tempo you can year the adjustment of the time but who cares!!! i have a sea urchin on my pedal board with modulation but will have to build a new one for me with this kit... but on a double parallel delay! yeaaaa!!!

The kit it self is very cheap.. i paid with the momentary switch 13Euros!

but some pics and demo

hehe thanks man!

all that you can see on the photos is Homemade!! and all thanks to this amazing forum!

Hi

another build.... current lover

I had a few mn3007 laying around so the BBD choice was obvious hehe

the bias process... its a electric mistress so you have to tweak it and tweak it!!!

but its a beauty!!

some pics!

Hi

Yes there are a mini mini :-D spst switches... Not the red that you can find on tayda but a blue ones that are smaller

And you can cut some of the length of the pins and solder near to the switch enclosure

Another option is to raise the PCB board using standoffs...

Yeap... That one was a big pita to get to properly working.... There are lots of post with people complaining with the tonepad layoud...
But on the end is a very nice gate

Thanks... That fuzz as spray painted with hammered type o effect... Love the blue onde it

Faceplates are usually a pita he he

If you black PCB its simple to sand it but normal PCB...aaaaaggggggg

Thanks... Happy to see that you guys like my velux lol

Its a vinyl sticker with a fews clear coats

Another boxes that I build

An tap tempo sea urchin delay
Fuzz 70
Chorus CE 2
Demeter compulator

Sorry but i don't have at the moment the guts shots

Hey guys

Been away for a while...but still making some magic boxes lol

This one is a Ross compressor combined with a mxr noise gate. Internal chain is comp > noise gate
The noise gate and Ross is taken from tonepad. The Ross as some mods taken from fuzz central, one of the mods is the recovery switch, and it was a clean build... Can't say the same thing about the gate... It was a big trouble to make it work properly... But after changing a few things and tweaking it... Mission accomplished

The inside space was a challenge... The Ross PCB didn't help a lot... But job done

That is the second compressor model that I built... The first was a Demeter compulator and now the Ross... Honestly?? Compulator is a winner compared to the Ross

we want the file!!! hehehehhe

just good humor ok!!!

hey guys

a friend of mine gave me an amazing surprise! An old davoli amp from 1973
its a 200wts tube amp.... and hehhe its partial working!

it uses 4xEL504 a EL80 and a ECC84
2 channels, a small reverb tank, tremolo and gain... its a beauty!!

some pics of one that i found on the web (the amp part)





this a similar one

I already found problems on some caps (filtering) and a few more things to change....

so i found the schematic of the effects/Eq/etc and i cant identify a component

its a box shape with some comps inside (resistors, caps)  and covered with some type of resin

from the schematic can anyone tell what those are?

this a photo not of my unit but it shows the parts....

good news brian!!

I've been looking at a couple of DMMs. There is the INNOVA and the Mastech. Those are the 2 contenders for me right now. I'm gonna sell my automotive (bluepoint/snapon) one and use the money to grab one of those. Luckily my crappy Harbor Freight one (only spent $7 on it) has an Hfe reader. In case anyone wanted to see the two.

Have you seen the specs of the VC97?
It as it all...

I have a uni-t 61e and it's a beauty... Fast Automatic range, high value caps reading, fast cont test... USB connection... Very nice
The only thing that lacks its the hfe reading... But I have an old one to that..

The VC97 is a nice option to... There is some very nice reviews and it as a nice price
