Good job! Love that circuit, its complete madness.
Did you fill the etch with gold paint?

Open Discussion / Good Source for Germ Diodes

« on: February 11, 2017, 01:07:08 PM »

Looking for a place I can buy a nice bulk amount of not fake germ diodes..doesn't have to be the big package 1n34a's, 1n60p work just fine. I know smallbear stocks but does anyone have any good ebay sellings that they trust? What about other sites that sell germ diodes. My order will be for between 500-1k qty parts.

Thanks!

Build Reports / Dunwich Amplification DA120 Overdrive **SPAM ALERT**

« on: December 06, 2016, 07:02:23 PM »

Hey ghouls and gals, been a while since i've posted anything here. Very busy in the world of pedals but not building custom ones for myself anymore...

First off the spam alert is referring to this being a production build.

I wanted to post a unit that I'm quite proud of. ALL circuit design goes to Nick at Dunwich Amplification, I am merely a solder slave! The circuit is a new take on the Green Matamp GT120 amp that is very well known for some specific heavy bands usage. The unit has 3 gain controls allowing clean preamp tones (with tons of bass if you'd like) ala Peter Green all into that thick orange overdrive sound. From there you can pull nice distortion and then slam all three knobs max for that full blown out matamp foggy syrupy sludge fuzz. 2 band EQ and a seperate master volume makes this one living breathing beast! We're not including the clean blend standard but its built onto the pcb and all that needs is the one pot and a place in the case!  Enjoy!

Great work..clean in and out.
I'd love to know how you did the decals around the knobs..my illustrator skills are still somewhat basic!

Interesting. I built a Multiplex with the add-on Mod board, went for a vactrol from SB over roll-your-own and was very disappointed with the results. This would explain why..the mod sound was very lite if even working at all

Requests / 70's DOD boxes

« on: March 14, 2014, 10:10:14 AM »

I have a 680 Analog Delay from DOD that is just fantastic. I've seen the orange flanger and that one sounds great too. I know they used SAD1054 chips in these..any chance we could remake them like the old EHX. I think it as very fun and bringing up an otherwise obsolete project.

Your pedal looks pretty awesome! I've had one of these on the backburner for a long time, your helping to get me inspired to finish it!
Thanks for posting your diagrams.

I actually like the bright look.  It makes me feel happy

I have to agree it a nice changeup though quite shocking on the eyes first thing in the morning.

Open Discussion / Re: Printing Laser Decals

« on: July 05, 2013, 08:07:04 PM »

I'm not sure if I mentioned Color..That's one of the big parts of it. On the Papilio site it says their paper works with most desktop laser color printers..Hmm just finding the right one.
I had the samsung clp 300 and fused the laser decal film from PPP first run through. Printer has not been the same

« on: July 04, 2013, 12:29:19 PM »

I've been wanting to get into this for far too long and figure it's time to just invest in a printer that I know will work. Would love to hear peoples experience's and some recommendations on which printer will work well without fusing the decals to the roller! I plan on using the Papilio paper if that helps at all. Oh and I want to do Laser not Inkjet..Thanks!

Open Discussion / Re: So apparently you can remove all the emitter resistors on a Big Muff

« on: July 04, 2013, 10:43:26 AM »

not so fast guys...

check the clips text.

it notes the resistor changes on the Q3/Q4 collectors too...

and yes Q1/2/3 emitter resistors are left out, and straight to ground.

cheers Rob.


love the space ritual pic..nice.


diode destroyer?...

Hey nice to see you stop by! Yup best album is the live one with lemmy of course!
I've been doing creamy dreamer mods for awhile now, replace 390 ohms with a jumper straight to gnd and increase the limiting resistors a tad bit..Lots of gobbing gain.
So collector resistors. Clip 1 only has q3 labeled and clip 3 has q4 labeled..is there a pot your turning?
Makes sense with the gobbing gain and octave you get such an extreme sound.

Omit compared to jumper?
