I’ve always had some notes about the Magnavibe project, but I’ve never really trusted the LDR approach. I find it a bit tricky. Maybe we can talk about it in another thread if I can’t find a good solution. Thanks!

I was watching this demo again. I miss that kind of modulation, so I’ve been looking at the original Tim Escobedo schematic, and I’m wondering if the original sounds a bit too subtle. I redrew a verified veroboard layout to make it smaller for a 1590A enclosure. If two stages sound much better...

I consider the Red Llama a sort of fuzzish overdrive. Maybe the one with the tone control could be useful to tame the treble if needed.

Yes, maybe one or two different parts. Ok, thanks for your post. I'm just looking for something analog similar to the Green Ringer to put into a 1590A box and have some fun while I build it.

I was looking for an alternative circuit to the Green Ringer to fit into a 1590A enclosure. I followed the Tentacle schematic and it sounds fine. It's not very clean, but it has some grit, which is not bad.

Hi. If you change the feedback cap surely you can bright it up the boost. The original cap is a 5.6nF, thought the resistor in parallel is not so high, just a 10k. But I advice to test some value. Try a 1nF, and if it still sounds too much muddy for you ear try a ceramic smaller cap. The...

The descriptions of the six modes seems pure marketing and totally nonsense.

I didn't find the side of the PCB with the parts. Ok, that could be just a cap tone switch. But I see five cap and five resistor. We could assume something else?

Hello, sometimes I like to jump back to some of my old topics. Today, I’ve been thinking about the King Tone rotary switch for guitar, the Classic version. This is the link to the switch: https://www.kingtoneguitar.com/product/king-tone-switch/ It’s not a tone cap switch, but something that...

I’m taking a break to decide whether to build the version with the buffered voltage reference, as in the original JHS schematic and the Red Muffin Fuzz documentation.

Meanwhile, I'll begin to build the board of the Big Muff, I hope within this week. :)

I replaced the Blend pot of the ROG Splitter Blend with a pan pot like this: But the two outputs are not joint, but each goes into an op-amp gain stage (yes, they boost a little bit to pair the volume of the two loops, just in case) and then they are joint in the output. To make pass just one...

Thank you for your help and courtesy 🙂 First point: By blend I don’t mean a classic mix pot where CCW = 100% fuzz / 0% clean, noon = 50/50, CW = 0% fuzz / 100% clean. What I want instead is to keep the fuzz always at 100%, and use a pot to add the clean signal from 0% to 100%. I already...

Inverting the phase was the thing I didn't want to do, I forgot it. Thanks, but these layouts (I like vero!) are blend. :D I don't want to blend fuzz and clean, there's no much sense to me turn the fuzz into clean. I want just add the clean in parallel, and I thought to have a slightly boosted...

I'm sure Paralyzer is great. Actually, I built a modified ROG Splitter Blend with that same kind of blend, and my version has the blend mode and a mode with a fix side and the fade in or out the other side. :) But now I was searching a way to get the clean add with just a mini board a a few of...
