anyone know of other units that can do this?

Very easy to do on a computer, based on delay and looping really. Not sure how to achieve. that easily in pedal format.

[escholl]

did this remind anyone else of GLaDOS when they heard it?


on topic, i think it's just a simple adjustable sample and hold circuit....kind of like a delay with unity feedback and adjustable other stuff, like delay time..

[Ant]

ok, next question - can anyone make me on?

No problem - I can make one for you. I just need the schematics

[Gazm]

Used to have a Boss RPS-10 pitch shifter/delay that did similar.

the builder of these units has this site [url="http://www.thesquarewaveparade.com/"]http://www.thesquarewaveparade.com/[/url]
it has some of the schematics on there and im sure you can ask him for the "teaspoon" schematics.
Id be very interested in buying one of these if you could build one

I saw the web site and the builder did published some [url="http://www.thesquarewaveparade.com/brdlayot.html"]schematics[/url]. Some of them are interesting but they don't give any insight about the Teaspoon or any other effects.

I would like to share your optimism about his willingness of sharing schematics. Around a month ago a Teaspoon sold on [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170259025474"]eBay[/url] for US $425.00. I would be surprised to see the schematics of the Teaspoon on the [i]thesquarewaveparade[/i] web site. I may be totally wrong of course – but I doubt it.

If someone is interested in the pedal please feel free to ask Mr. Squarewaveparade the schematics. If someone send me a copy, I would be happy to study it and find out how complex it would be build one.

[Ant]

well ive sent him a message asking for the schematic, lets see what he says

[escholl]

i doubt you'll get the schematic, but if you do (and i hope you do), any chance of sharing it with the rest of us?

[Duarte]

Yeah I want one too!

[joegarcia]

You can do similar things with a DD6 by momentarily holding down the pedal in loop mode. Not quite as cool though.

[Ant]

he said he wouldnt give a schematic, so im still hunting out stuff to do this.

I believe the Stephen Hawking unit can do this - when he smokes enough crack cocaine

It seems stupid that he's not making them anymore but won't sell the schematics either?

I am not surprised. Did he say why?

I am not judging a person that sells at $400+ a box that may cost substantial less to produce (I have seen worse). It’s none of my business: people can spend their money as they like.

Stupid? I am not sure stupidity is the reason why he doesn't make public the schematics. I am not surprised he doesn't want tell anybody what's inside a box that sells for $400+. Every time he needs a few $100s, he just needs to resume production and sell a couple of [i]Teaspoon[/i] on eBay.

For $400+ I am sure there are at least $200 of materials in it and a technology so innovative that NASA is still trying to figure out how the Teaspoon works. Unconfirmed rumours say that it contains a voice recorder chip with a variable clock but it cannot be true – it would cost only a few $ to make...

i could probably knock one off for about 20 quid, and most of that is the cost of the case and switches...it's just the designing it bit that i cba to do. if i ever have any free time (unlikely), i'll give it a go.

of course, i wouldn't sell one for 20 quid.....

[BigRedX]

$425 was for the very last one. The list price on the [url="http://thesquarewaveparade.com/"]Squarewave Parade site[/url] was $149 which was the starting price for the eBay one. I'd happily pay that for one.

[Silent Fly]

I agree: $149 sounds a more reasonable price. Accordingly to the web site the production will not restart before 5-6 weeks. It is not specified if the price will remain the same or if they will be sold on eBay.

The one before the last was sold by the-squarewave-parade on eBay. The auction closed at $419.

The last one was sold just a few days ago by the-squarewave-parade on eBay. [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170270243885"]The auction closed at $504.99[/url].

A Roland SP-404 costs $395 and a Roland SP-555 can be bough on eBay for less than $500. I am not sure a Teaspoon at $500 is exactly the best sampler in terms of value/money but as I said, people can spend their money as they like.

[escholl]

for those of you wondering, he's probably using, if not this, then something similar to, the PT2399 chip, which can be had BIN on ebay for about 12 pounds.

a circuit diagram that can be like [url="http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=27"]this one[/url] would be a good place to start.
