Using only the Space/Mono main output, i don't notice any change with stereo/mono switch. No volume drop with the Ring switch, but when set upward, the Time modulation is cut off the mix, i only have the clean signal, and the space/tremolo modulation working. However, using only the Time output...

Understood, thanks ! Longue vie à Feral Feline ! Edit : just did this mod. I first used a 470k resistor across the outter lugs of the B1M Sustain control, and 27k at R8. I had a little statics and scratching noises at the end of the pot's rotation. I added another 27k to the 470k and now it's...

I count 7 values that change between both version. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/meridian_documentation.pdf I would look for a big 8PDT toggle, or 2 x 4PDT to add these parts to the circuits. This way way you will have the two versions in a single box. If you are looking to modify a...

The bass specs are the best for both guitar and bass, in my humble opinion. To put it simply, it felt like the guitar version is only cutting off much warmth, much low frequencies in this circuit. In my experience, the difference between the two version sounds similar to turning up the Color...

i wonder what could be this U3 IC near the logo ? What is its function ?

Just ordered this circuit from Musikding for my bass. Hope everything will go smoothly, can't wait to try it !

makes sense, thanks. I never used flux on its own before. The friends who taught me how to build stompboxes told me it was toxic and usually not needed. I guess it is needed if i am going to use some residue cleaner.

right, so it's wrong to use it too often ? it should only come into play at the end of the building process ? I thought flux was burnt while soldering, i didn't know it's still there once the soldering is done. And if there are still flux on the soldering pad, i 'd guess there is still some of...

thanks for your reply ! That's what i'm using : https://technoutil.fr/ans-nettoyant-soudures/

Hello, I've been using some residue cleaner recently, and i notice that pads are much harder to reflow after cleaning the pcb. When applying heat to reflow and improve some soldering joint, i can see bubbles and strange things going on on the pad, it feels like i should remove the cleaned...

Ayaaah ! Gloire ! Finally, a professional expertise from a famous reverse-engineer about white washers. Cold hard facts indeed. What a brillant and clear official statement ! Bull's eye ! Well played ! Let's hope the white-washerophobics will read these wise words and come to their senses. I...

Nice one. I built the Xor'cist (fuzz+ringmod) and it's great too, i can recommend it.

Most of the times, i order full kits from musikding, with drilled enclosures. I am probably paying an extra 10 euros or so in total for such a big build, but I don't have to worry about sourcing the wrong parts, or making mistakes when drilling the enclosure.

Thanks ! ...and the elephant's trunk is shaped as the "S" of Spectron.

Thanks for your replies ! I will try these mods this evening and report.

I built a few phasers, the Phase II is probably my favorite, i really like how the sweep sounds. However, i built an other one sometimes ago, a Small Stone clone with all the popular mods, called the Redshift from Aion. The mods are allowing some interesting sounds, and i often regret that...

Thanks ! It means a lot coming from such distinguished Enclosure Artists. Unless you really enjoy using a real wah with an expression pedal, i highly recommend the Spectron. In my opinion, it's even better than a real wah. You don't need to care about your foot while playing. You can use the...

I had a loud popping noise issue on a circuit once, i couldn't find a way to fix it, even with AMZ tricks, and 20k led resistor. Finally, i've been suggested to add a 10n DC blocking cap at the beginning of the circuit and it fixed it...

I built these effects sometime ago, in 2021. Hopefully, they could be some interesting examples about what is possible to do when a pedal builder has "no artwork skills". The idea for the "art design" came to me while i was shopping at the local grocery store. I saw two big packs of rice, one...

Enclosures shouldn't be microphonic, never. I would start by checking the wiring. Sometimes a tiny piece of wire missed the hole and is shorting the next pad. Also check that the pots terminals aren't touching each other or the enclosure. If touching the aluminium enclosure affects the signal...
