Not sure the MT10 is the best suited circuit for diode experimentation, the original diode clipping setup is very good as it is. From what i understood about this circuit, its strongest points are the diode clipping design similar to the Timmy, and the 3-bands EQ. I also tried various diode...

I just tried it and it does some very good small room kind of reverb, but it can't do more than one repeat, so i guess any slap back delay will do the same effect.

I guess for the average diy builder, it's near impossible to use really good audio chips like the one we can find in factory stompboxes. From what i have seen so far, the usual digital path is FV-1, and it's very limited compared to what some other ICs can do. FV-1 is affordable, simple to use...

Im curently using PPCB Gravitation, Belton brick based, which is three PT2399 packed into one small part, if i understood correctly. Gravitation does its job, i like to cut some highs and aim for some dark reverb tones and the Gravitation controls allows that. But im not sure im fully pleased...

i find it quite interesting, but the grunt switch doesn't have much impact on the sound compared to a bass. On a bass amp it works great, some dark and yet precise sounds, but the bk3 can only go at the edges of distortion with the gain and blend fully CW. It's not a distortion, and i think...

Nice build ! I also tried to dial some EQ settings on the Empyrean's tight channel to emulate an original Bk3, i couldnt even get close to the Bk3. Despite the design similarities, they really sound different. The Bk3 (with grunt and mid-boost switched on) has some kind of amp-sim or cab-sim...

Thanks for your suggestions ! I would be curious to hear the results of these changes, but with 5 extra parts i wouldn't be able to switch back to the stock version. There isn't much room left in the enclosure, not enough for some big toggleswitch. I guess i could leave the first pair of...

Audioprobe test shows that the raw distortion channel is A, with IC3. I tried adding a toggleswitch with diodes between IC3 pin 6 and 7, but i couldn't hear any change. I guess i would need to lift that pin 6 out of its socket, but i'm not comfortable with this. So i lifted the MOD pot leg 3...

Nice build ! The Meridian is an always-on tool for me. I tried other compressors, but this circuit does everything i need and more. Even if i like my pickups, i still often try various EQ settings with the Meridian on bass, guitars, synth, drum machines, etc. Compared to a GE-7 these Color and...

i noticed Brett shows in the video (10:35') how the master volume affects the gain in its own way. On schematics i dont see anything that could explain it, the volume pot is just before the output jack ?

looks to me that the gain knob is turned up to 11 o'clock on the SVT, a nice $2000 amplifier head. Any circuit would sound great with that thing... The rusty box is just acting like a booster in this video. He's not trying to emulate the Traynor sound at all. Maybe you can try to connect your...

nice build ! On this circuit i spent lot of time trying various IC combinations, because we can really hear a difference if we use other op-amps. It really changes the gain texture and the range of action in the first half of the gain pot rotation. TL71 is my favorite for the single op-amp IC...

Im sorry you dont like your TS-50B circuit. limp and tepid ? not a lot of dirt ? Just in case, here is some sound sample from my build, so you can check if it sounds like yours.

thanks for the suggestion, might be easier than desoldering the mod pot. I'll try that first and report.

Oh ? so that's not the 1rst or 2nd distortion path ? IC3a and IC3b and their surrounding parts aren't gain stages ? I thought these were the 2 distortion's channels , and the mod control pans between both paths: Build docs mention "the signal is split into two paths". If i'm wrong can you...

I was busy with harvesting grapes lately. I built the circuit just before leaving and i just got back (2025 is going to be a good year for french wine, at least in Anjou). So far i didn't try to add diodes in the circuit, yet. Both distortions sound great as it is, the mod control allows to...

beautiful build ! will you try the bass mod ? https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/black-eye-bass-switch.17053/post-201488

I think so. I play guitar and bass but i could probably be fine with only the bass version for both, i think. I often use the bass version with guitars, i like how it sounds, and i also use a GE-7 at the end of the signal chain, to shape the mids on guitars almost all the time. On the other...

I was listening to Master of Puppet album recently. Wondering what was used on the background guitar doing the main theme at 0:34 in Welcome Home (Sanatorium) track ? Sounds like chorus, reverb, but also some enveloppe filters and some tremolo ? It gives some sort of slow stromboscopic effect...
