Great question. I just kinda imagined myself putting a pair of sunglasses on after I said that and riding off into the horizon.
I'll say this: flattery will get you *everywhere*. Unless the flattery is too intense. In which case my imposter syndrome will flare up and somebody might nerd to...
I've read that the originals, like the vox greys, utilized a 250mH inductor.
This is the standard crybaby sweep with an idealized 250mH inductor
And with a 500mH Inductor
Pretty significant shift towards higher frequencies with the lower value inductor.
Now with a 250mH inductor and a...
Always down for more data!
I've got a new goal for my inductor project:
I want to build SPICE models of these inductors.
Basically: build a component or sub circuit model that we can pop into SPICE and visually observe how each impacts the circuit.
Its gonna require a bit of work on my part...
More of my builds in progress.
Purpose built for tossing through the windows of oppression with politely worded threatening letters attached via rubber bands.
Also good for simulating the effect of a pan-galactic gargle blaster if you omit the letter and instead use a slice of lemon.
And the Wahcko trace.
Differences with the standard wah circuit:
- Most obvious off the bat is the 6 way selector switch. Same way Dunlop used to do it.
- Variable Q1 gain. Metal film 100 ohm resistor from Q1 emitter into a 500 ohm trimmer, to ground.
-Split the PSU capacitor into two: one...
Anode to positive ground, cathode to -9Vdc. Current limiting resistor in series on either end.
Make and break one leg to turn it on and off.
Same idea, ground is just positive instead of negative.
Soooo, I'm OK to use this as a "choose-your-own-ground reference adventure switch". Is what you're saying.
Don't worry, don't worry. I'll only be using it in low voltage boxes. As strictly defined by the IEC.
Almost forgot:
This is a tweak I picked up from the EVH wah. It replaces the 220nf cap that connects to the "output" pin on the potentiometer.
Aint gonna make a load of difference. But it's there.
Another!
I'm redesigning the turret board to make it slightly smaller and to move the inductor away from the right hand side. Tends to crowd the 9v Inlet a touch.
So, this is my last of my V1 boards that I made. This guy gets a 47k input resistor, adjustable Q1 gain, an input cap I pulled...
My little mosfet reverse/over voltage protection and power filtration board.
Got a dip switch in there to remove the series resistor should someone have a good quality PSU to power the thing with. So, ya know, your 100 ohm resistor isn't artificially lowering the voltage the circuit sees. By...
