Buzz Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Oooh, that's different, having no external knobs. And it's shiny ooooooooh. Hmm, what happens if you need a little tweak when you're on stage though due to the environment? And I take it (without looking at the pedal circuit/specs) the switches at the top are fuzz modes (change between silicon and germanium diodes) ? and something else?

Toasted Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thanks guys. The switches are a volume boost (just a DPDT with different resistors on each side) and a bass boost (A SPST which brings a 0.1uf cap between B and C of Q2 in and out of the circuit).

charic Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I keep considering making a pedal that pretty much houses a 555-timer circuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I got the box from Sw***box, the electronic parts are from Banzai Musical GMBH, Mouser, Rapid Electronics, and the kit is a BYOC ESV fuzz from the UK distributer who are called Vibe-o-tronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umph Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 what did you use for the led btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's not really practical. That led draws like 50mA. It was worth it to give it a go. But pretty pointless in pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Any clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'll do one. I'll be honest, I'm not 100% blown away by the sound - but that wasn't REALLY the point of this project. It was to test the LED, test the Orman input mod, test the Beavis volume / phatty mods. In that respect it was very sucessful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 haha fair does my mate wants me to put one in his tube screamer which would be powered by the mains anyway so link away pretty please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
