What's on the workbench?

[drgonzo1969]

umumumumumu yer SO grounded when dad sees what you did to his workbench

 

[Nostradoomus]

does it work if you try to delete it

Don't do anything drastic! All of that pent up gonk energy releasing at once could have catastrophic consequences!

 

[LukeFRC]

I think there's two solutions to this situation...

1) Therapy for @Bricksnbeatles , maybe a retreat to become a monk or something, no music other than the sound of the wind on the trees

or

2) Some assistance @Robert with a focus on pedals that make bass players happy

 

[Feral Feline]

Mm wind in the trees is good...

... What about somewhere between "1)" and "2)"?








Let us all take a moment to meditate:

This is actually a pretty cool fuzz, similar to the JHS Crayon... although I must say I think I like this one better.

These newer PCBs designed by Nicholas Kula are a massive improvement over the older designs.

The demos for this sound pretty dang rad. When this was released I immediately breadboarded the Trident pre-amp this is based on using Balmoral Electric's research. That alone is a killer boost/fuzz even without the transformer and pre-gain boost. Better than a standalone Univibe preamp imo.

CB range? Do you need a amateur radio license to use this?

 

[LukeFRC]

Didn't the designer of Trident boards have a range of Bass pedals a few years back? Basics Bassics or something? They were blue

Yeah baby! That thing is DIMED!!!!

Anything less and you're just throwing away money.

Any update on the Espresso Expression multiplier?

 

[bluedmc777]

You mean the Ge diode circuit? I never thought of that as a "limiter" the effect is so subtle on the FDIC. Still it's a cool boost pedal.

I’ve always been curious in that 2B boost pedal/limiter. Can it actually be used to “soften” the peaks adding a touch of sag or rectifier type touch to it?

Not really, I’m still not completely sure I’m not imagining what the “limiter” does. You’re better off using a lightweight transparent compressor.

 

[dot matrix madness]

Speaking of fuzz, does anyone have "insight" into the Farm Pedals Landau Density Matrix?
According to their own description based on a Black Russian Muff.

Again one of the pedals that simply gets unaffordable considering shipping, import tax, and VAT

 

[CheapSuitG]

VERY excited about this one!

Suggestion: this is a great dbx/THAT one-knob compressor using currently available parts. Basically a modern dbx163. Maybe you'd want to make a PCB for it?

(this design note is a real gem).

I'd just use TL072's instead of the suggested opamps, and maybe add a switch to allow bypasing the NLC in favor of a regular cap. A normal cap sounded better to my ears when used with a bass, so I didn't even implement the NLC at all in my onboard take on it.

THAT One-Knob Comp should be in the wish list.
OH, lookythar...

IT IS!

I've been been wanting to try some of the That suggested circuits. It's probably a little outside my current abilities but ive been throwing myself into difficult projects and learning fast. I have too many projects in the que and not enough time at the moment.
