    Pitch Shifter example

    The daisy pitch shifting library uses a time-based doppler pitch shifting approach (same approach as FV-1 I think). What you're describing are the shortcomings of that technique unfortunately. Other methods of pitch shifting are super complex to implement, I started looking into it much like...

    Informant Overdrive turns off

    The weird coincidence checks out!! I tried a third power jack, and there is absolutely no flickering. I am relieved to have solved the issue, but also annoyed that Tayda's jacks are so sketchy... Brutal! Thanks for the sanity check everyone, appreciate it.

    Informant Overdrive turns off

    The jack and supply are both 2.1mm, the fit is fairly tight - nothing unusual there. Hmm, this was absolutely my initial reaction. I went from the jack on the right (not sure what it's called) to a knockoff lumburgh. Maybe it will be worthwhile trying another new jack, will report back later...

    Both the original jack and the new replacement were plastic

    Informant Overdrive turns off

    A bit of a weird issue here... First of all, the pedal works totally fine under normal circumstances! When the power plug is slightly wiggled around in the power jack, the pedal intermittently turns off (sometimes in rare cases it "latches" off permanently - then I have to wiggle the power plug...

    Adding a blend to a Promethium (HM-2)

    Ugh, it worked perfect with single coils, then when I switched to a guitar with humbuckers it was just as bad as anything else with the feedback at 50% volume. This is crazy, my build is actually really similar to the dunwich mods so I am very surprised that this one isn't working. Plus this...

    Adding a blend to a Promethium (HM-2)

    Ahhhh not the answer I was hoping to hear haha. I just finished building an FZ2 and couldn't get a blend to work with it either. Was hoping the HM2 might be more manageable since I've seen so many clones pull it off. I'll also give the dunwich opamp version a go and report back One thing that...

    Adding a blend to a Promethium (HM-2)

    Hi there, did you ever end up getting one of these methods to work? I did some mods to an HM2 and increased the overall output volume by a little bit, but my mask audio blend is whistling :( I just encapsulated the fx in and fx out with the send / return, no luck so far

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    I built up a Mad Box blend, similar to the one you suggested since I had all the parts (it's got two discrete TL072 loops). It kinda worked? When I was probing around with the output jack both of the discreet loops worked totally fine, but the circuit would cut out after a few seconds of...

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    Honestly, just being able to bounce ideas around is very helpful to me. At the very least you're saving my wife from having to do a lot of head nodding hahaha Thanks for linking that thread. I took a look at the JMK Paralyzer, but I am a little confused about what I'd do with the two loops. Of...

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    You know what, I actually spoke too soon - I made a new testing clip that had some big gaps in the playing and the squealing is still there. Shoulda known better! I tried a few Boss pedals before the squealer, didn't seem to help. I whipped up a DOD250 on a breadboard to try with the blend, and...

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    I was probing around for a bit, using a guitar loop on my phones output jack, while trying to pinpoint where the squealing was coming from... and I realized it had completely stopped squealing! The playback volume was maxed on my phone, and the pedal was max gain & volume So I switched back to...

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    Ahhh that makes sense! Unfortunately I just tried it again, but it still had squealing :( I've been keeping the treble, bass, gain maxed out and the squealing only really stops at 25% volume (same as in every configuration of blender that I've tried). I'll try probing the Mask blend pcb and see...

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    Got around to giving it a shot today with your changes - still got the screeching! Hmm I'll have to keep messing with this

    Blend Knob Insertion Points (Hyped Fuzz)

    Okay cool. And yeah I figured I'd have to poke around a bit since I heard high gain circuits are notorious for squealing with blends, appreciate the help
