I just finished building Aion's Empyrean deluxe project yesterday. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/empyrean_deluxe_documentation.pdf Surprised to see there aren't any diodes except a single 1n5817 for the power section. I really like both distortions, but i'd like to try to add some...

If we are really aiming for Aenima's guitar sound, i wonder how much the Marshall superbass amplifier is involved to get it ? And how much the guitar signal is modified by recording and post recording studio tools ? Even if the dual-rectifier head is plugged in the effect loop of the bass...

The Fuzz Factory allows to dial lots of different fuzz sounds, if we are prepared to spend time turning knobs, it's great to find interesting fuzz textures. On the other hand, a fuzz with "clear note definition" is kind of contradictory. I never heard a fuzz circuit that can handle full chords...

From what i could find online, Tool guitar player isn't a big stompbox user. When he does use effects they're from common brands like MXR or Boss. And according to forums, on Aenima it's not a fuzz, the whole album is made with a Superbass amp (Marshall i guess), and a dual rectifier head, from...

This was the first modulation circuit i built, with a pcbguitarmania board. I still enjoy it, the only downside for me was the noisy PT2399 IC on longer delay. If only it was possible to have some clean repeats with long delay settings, it would be among my favorite circuits. Very warm and...

i would if i wanted to be perfectly clear, but it's a bit too long. The Mid's pot's pot feels easier to use in a sentence. An alternative way to have some mid frequency options, easy to do and close to the original circuit design, would be a toggleswitch inspired by the changes for the...

In the build doc i see jumpers on the jacks pads. Did you notice ? At first i was surprised by the wiring differences between Aion and DEFX projects. There are jumpers on a few jacks in Aion's project. A closer look made me realize DEFX also use jumpers, but on the pcb soldering pads...

I m not sure i understand. There is a Mid control already in this circuit. It's mentioned in the build doc ? You want a second Mid control ? Edit : ah nevermind... i think i got it. You want to control what mid frequencies are cut or boosted by the mid control. Good idea !

if you don't really care about the octave up, PPCB Ocelot (boss OC-2) sounds very close. If you need the octave up, i only know this project. I'm sure it will get back in stock someday, you might need to wait a couple months. Did you try to send a message to Klaus at musikding, to ask when it...

I will probably get some inspiration from your mods to try some things on my build someday. Thanks !

Very nice ! I built this circuit too and i like it very much. If i remember correctly, the distortion is close to the DOD 250, and the fuzz is a special design for this circuit. I wonder about all your mods, how are they affecting the circuit ?

I wonder if this project name is designed to catch the attention of dedicated diy builders with good habits and special feelings regarding plastic washers ? Very attractive name. "very well suited for low tunings and heavy riffs." according to musikding. Aaargh... ! I think i've been hit...

build docs : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kqEvRodTRtgS7zFl3puy6qp6RXRRoSle/view?pli=1 I built a similar project from Aion, you might find some extra tips about the calibration there : https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/xenotron_documentation.pdf There's also a troubleshooting checklist...

In my opinion, it's hard to compare the industry and diy builders. We need comparison criteria. The industry like Boss or others have factories available for them, with expensive devices and machines to help them reach an optimal ratio between expenses and quality. Which can be both...

Could also be your DC jack, looks like it's in metal and it's not a good thing according to this thread : https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/grounding-issue-with-enclosure.3035/ You can try to insulate the metal part of your DC power jack with plastic tape, or use a plastic DC jack from...

As you wish. In case you didn't notice, i ve edited my post to suggest to test the circuit using wires to connect the IN and OUT jacks rings (the part that should be in contact with the enclosure), to your other boss enclosure. If the hum is still there, then it's probably not an enclosure...

you really dont have another stompbox from the industry with a metal enclosure ? You dont need to put the circuit inside the metal box, you just need to use the jack holes to test if the static hum goes away. I dont think copper tape on the inside would help much, the idea is to let the...

i posted a link to help build the audio probe, it's a very simple thing. You can build an audio probe with a female jack, 2 wires, and a 100n cap, no need to waste a guitar cable. i guess so, especialy if it sounds like a ground issue. If you have an aluminium enclosure, it could be...

I would first make sure that both jacks are correctly in contact with the enclosure, that there is no paint preventing them to touch it. Then i would use an audio probe and try to find where the signal turns into a static hum, following the shortest path on schematics from IN to OUT. Once the...

there is an interesting mod for that circuit, bypassing the fuzz part. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/bypassing-fuzz-part-in-corduroy-fuzz.2951/ There's also a way to get more highs from the Tone control...
