    Corduroy Fuzz - does anyone have the v1 doc?

    It helps a lot, thank you ! Mine is the one who on the right Do you please have the schem too? Just in case some component labels have changed

    Corduroy Fuzz - does anyone have the v1 doc?

    I was thinking about modifying my Corduroy Fuzz , a pedal I've never liked so much, using the 2n5089 only to boost the Plexi Drive part of the circuit (tailoring the caps between stages to lower the bass content) but I've noticed I have a different board than the one actually published (and the...

    Are we fooling ourselves when it comes to diode softness?

    reading the oscilloscope images leads me to instantly trying a 4Ge + 3GE hard clipping combo in my Procyon...

    Hammered light blue paint for enclosure?

    I like hammered copper in the picture. I'm going to build something with that color.

    Question about similarity between Bassman-based preamp circuits

    I've never fully understood that 3.3uF cap, its function and how to decide its value, I often saw it in dist circuits with the same value of the cathode cap across the cathode resistor of the equivalent triode stage emulated, but I don't know the relationship

    Question about similarity between Bassman-based preamp circuits

    I own it, I can confirm it's a very good booster, I use it with the mid boost option on but it's good in clean mode and fat mode too.

    AionFX Procyon Legacy (BJFE Honey Bee)

    Hi Micheal, I used an Aion Procyon V2 board (from musikding.de, I'm in Europe) but I see both in legacy board doc and in v2 doc , C1 is marked 47n. Anyway, since I was frying thinking about it, yesterday I tried a 4n7 in place of the 47n and, wow, what a difference! I still had some harsh...

    AionFX Procyon Legacy (BJFE Honey Bee)

    sorry to revive a zombie thread, but I have a question about the first cap, labelled 47n on the schematic in the build document. I built it (there is another thread around) but I've found too much bass and a harsh opamp clipping. Looking at the PCB Mojito I see a much lower input cap, 10nF...

    Pedal Family Trees?

    I think the real categories can be divided by topology more than single model: - Cascading stages ( maestro, tone bender, fuzz face..) - cascading stages with soft clipping (BMP..) - hard clipping (Dist+, Rat, klon...) - soft clipping (OD-1, Tube screamer, SD1...) - FET amp emulators (plexi...

    OPA4134 - what should I build?

    OPA2134 is SUPPOSED to be superior, but the distortion profile of the NE5532 is still better, old but gold

    A Sweet Combination

    I have both the sweet honey and the sweet baby, believe it or not there are audible differences in favour of the MP with my rig (the different op?) , it's like there's a harsher treble in the joyo, anyway not so much to justify the difference in price...

    Saucy box - what is this part doing?

    At first sight it seems a trick to limit to some frequency band the clipping, but I made some calculation and, even considering the 1uF at the opamp output, you have at max - 3dB at 25 Hz, so I'm waiting for other considerations by much more expert people too

    Next build: Plexi Drive, Benson Preamp, BSIAB2, other?

    I have a Zendrive clone, I had real Klon many many years ago, sold when the price was still low (I thought I made a bargain selling it at that time, poor me), both are not my cup of tea, the first is too much compressed, the klon and derivative too middy (who says klons are transparent must...

    That's very interesting and the tranny on the output is a not common solution, thank you

    Next build: Plexi Drive, Benson Preamp, BSIAB2, other?

    I have both in my collection, both modded too, but they're not what I'm looking for as an almost always on OD , I need something more direct and transparent, I actually have a BD-2 in my board but it is the last pedal in the chain , after the reverb too, for my shoegaze need (in this use is awesome)

    3K74 resistor?

    still, I 'don't see the reason of those specific values, there is no cap across the source resistor, so the real difference it's not in the frequency response but in the stage gain, you want more gain pick a 3K3, you want more headroom pick a 4K7

    (bought a Pedalpcb board + kit from musikding.de of the Son of a Ben, I'll let you know)

    3K74 resistor?

    Since there is a trimmer on the drain I really can't see the reason of this particular value, I bet a 3k3 or a 4K7 are ok anyway
