Im not sure i really understand what's happening between these two circuits, and i was probably wrong in post #9. And maybe it's a good exercise for beginners in audio electronics From what i experience with this wiring setup (see attached files), The first part of the Blender circuit from...

Anyway, looks like i can put that blender to good use, when the trimmer is set at low value. And i also need to understand how the Fractal works, it's the first time i build this circuit. Thanks for your help !

So the trimmer increase the blender output volume and this output volume goes into the Fractal overdrive circuit so i guess it's going to boost it... but i think it's weird that it doesn't also increase the clean volume, when the Blend control is fully CW, set on full clean signal ?

Sounds like it only affects the overall volume, or maybe it boosts the wet signal when i turn the trimmer CW. It's not just louder, it's also more saturated, with more highs with the trimmer fully CW It doesn't increase the clean signal by itself, like i would expect. But with the trimmer...

ah yes ! the trimmer becomes noticeable when i set the Blend control on fully wet

Thanks for your reply ! Looks like the DC jack positive leg's connection was bad, i managed to power up the circuit. I also modified the wiring a bit The Blend pot works, but the dry volume level is low compared to the wet volume. And the trimmer on the mixer circuit doesn't have any effect...

Hello, Im trying to build Aion's Fractal with a "Blend me up" circuit. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/fractal_documentation.pdf https://www.five-cats-pedals.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/FCP-Blend-Me-Up-Insert-V1-0.pdf The Blend Me Up circuit came with its own 3PDT pcb, as shown in the...

From what i can remember, there were 2 of them, both were wrong. I managed to temporarily fix it with the paper trick, i cant say for sure which led was on the BBD board at that time. what do you mean by "more diffuse" ? You should be able to tell if your BBD led is too bright, it will mess...

From my experience it will work, but you will have issues. like a narrow spot on the Manual control (last quarter of rotation) where the modulation is noticeable, and gaps at the highest end of the sweep, where the modulation briefly disappears.

according to the build doc there are a few different led that can do the job, so one of those can be right. Doesnt look like the ones i got though. I would try to send an email to Klaus with your picture, asking which one is the BBD led. That way you will clarify any doubts. In the meantime, i'd...

looks like it's supposed to be green glass and read around 2V on diode test, according to mouser. So the picture is wrong.

it's been almost 2 years so i could be wrong, i think the first BBD led they sent was different than the 3 other green leds, im not sure about the color. It's possible there were 2 extra led in the kit. i can remember trying a blue one with uncolored glass, and another with a different shade of...

i'd try to check with the DMM, see if one of them isn't showing the same value as the others in my kit one of the leds was a bit different with transparent glass, i had to turn it on to see it was green. The others were regular green led. But the BBD led was a wrong match anyway, they sent me...
