I haven't built it, but that Width control on the Karen looks interesting. Since it and the resistor it's hooked up to in series are in parallel with the drive pot, it's controlling the overall gain range. Reminds me of when I was messing with the OCD type circuit on my breadboard and I had an...

Very VERY nice!

Buddy, you've built a bunch of these Devi circuits on your breadboard. Have you ever tried wiring the input pot more conventionally (input to lug 3, lug 2 to the circuit input, lug 1 to ground)? One of the first fuzz pedals I built on vero was a Soda Meiser and it sounded awesome, but that input...

There should be heaps of gain on the B channel. It's got a linear 1meg pot and the resistor to ground that sets the gain with it is 1k. Did you do any mods?

You don't have to use a polarized cap on that portion of the fuzz face circuit. An unpolarized cap like a polyster film capacitor or ceramic will allow the circuit to function. The thing is using a smaller valued capacitor there will change the sound. It's not about the construction in that...

I don't know that there is or was a standardized way of specifying which leg is which on a potentiometer on a schematic. If you know how the pot behaves either increasing or decreasing resistance you can figure it out (using legs 1 to 2 increases resistance, using lugs 2 to 3 decreases...

It's a little more of a pain, but if you wire it like this all the caps will have a path to ground and it should prevent popping even better

Robert is that trim pot controlling the amount of gain on the midboost/OD-1 section?

I see that it doesn't have the diodes a regular blues driver does. How does it sound in comparison (without the diodes)?

I must have missed this one when you first posted it. It sounds good, but your playing really well too. Lights is probably my favorite Journey song and you nailed it.

This is a treasure trove of info. I wish I understood more. I got my Shamwah back out tonight to fiddle with it. I had socketed a couple things on the board. I ended up trying to use some values I saw for the Clyde McCoy, but I think one of the things I needed to change wasn't socketed. I used...

I opened it up in AF2. All three layers are in sidebar and if I click them they open and show the contents inside. They're in the same order as the one UV print I've had made so far.

Personally, I would just use a 30k resistor and not think twice about it. 30k1 is 30,100 ohms. A resistor that's labeled 30k can actually measure anywhere from 29,700 to 30,300, if it's got a 1% tolerance like a metal film resistor. There's no way you're going to notice a difference.

It might be easier to fit two of the Lovepedal Eternity circuits in. They're clone of the Son of Screamer which is just a screamer with the buffers removed.

The tube screamer sound is the combination of the chopped off bass in the clipping section (720hz high pass filter), the clipping section mixing with the clean signal, that signal getting a 720hz low pass filter, then a tone control that can add back high end above 3khz. If you only have the...

If you look on the sidebar under the Common Library there is a pin header that you can use as a solder pad to hook up wires. Here's an example of what I mean too

Regarding the Crybaby inductors measuring close to the Fasels, Dunlop manufactures the Fasel inductors themselves and they started using them in their wahs years ago from what little research I did before I built my Shamwah. My donor unit was a 535Q and it's inductor was one of those metal...

I did a quick glance and your gain pot isn't set up right. The lug 1 should be going to the negative pin of the op amp, not ground. Your 100pf resistor needs to connect the positive and negative pins there. C10/C12 and R12/R13 are redundant too. Just use one cap and a 10k resistor. I never...

I always wondered what the actual specs were on a lot of these inductors like the different red and yellow Dunlop ones since I've never seen them come out state what they were. Not that I actually understand how the resistance or henries effect the wah sound, but it would be nice to be able to...
