i admit that i totally forgot the rotary switch, good point. ...and the octave up sound on my build is quite disturbing, but maybe it needs some calibration. I wonder if there's a way to modify the octave up sound ? Form some sort of sinusoidal with the octave up ? Maybe using a trimmer...

The Rat distortion is a small circuit, which makes it suited for vero or perfboard builds. There are few components, so it's easy to make the connections between parts without a pcb. As a diy builder, vero and perfboard projects are the most satisfaying because we are really doing everything...

Nick Williams as in N.E.W ? He is on GCI builders group forum on facebook. His user name is NE williams. He replied to me once about a question on N.E.W Bass Overdrive.

On my build, when the effect is off there is some clean signal coming from TIME OUT, but quieter than at SPACE OUT. Connected to TIME OUT : When the effect is engaged, both flanger and tremolo activated, there is only the flanging signal coming from this output. The modulation is stronger than...

Both Flangelicious versions are interesting circuits. Unfortunately the classic version is very noisy, there's a faucet/liquid type of background noises. Only way to get rid of it is to increase the signal volume going in the Flangelicious and turning it down after it, to change the...

Best Flanger i've heard is AD/A Flanger clone from Lectric Fx. Far above all the classic flanger circuits, in my humble opinion. I built the Xenotron, Lovetone "?" Flanger, and i think if we just consider the flanging sound, the A/DA is much better. Lovetone's circuit allows to do some...

i had a weak modulation too at first, a distinguished fellow member, fontoponto, told me to try to put a folded piece of paper between the led and the photo-resistor on the BBD board. It made the modulation more noticeable. My led was too bright so the effect couldn't work correctly. It was a...

What are these ge diodes doing in this circuit ? Some sort of filtering ?

From what i can see on your pictures, some of your soldering joints look suspicious. Some of the legs are bent on the pcb. That can cause shorts with nearby traces or soldering pads. Re-heat, bend them back to vertical position with the tip of your iron, and cut them if they are too long. Suck...

original were 1S188-FM, i guess they're discontinued.

Musikding standard ge diodes for this project are 1N60P. https://www.musikding.de/Germanium-Diode-1N60_1

I thought i had already too much circuits, i thought i decided that i wouldn't build more anytime soon. ...Then i saw that musikding had recently started selling Byzantium kits. I always wanted to build this one. I also realized that there is a few new delays available, i hesitated between...

Thanks for your reply ! I think the clock noises were triggered by a Black Eye (distortion with real tubes running internaly at 170V) which was connected to the same power supply. I removed the Black Eye from the signal chain and it's perfectly silent for now. From my experience, it looks...

Found this on diystompboxes, from M. Hammer : "Flangers are inherently noisy pedals, but there are a few things you might do. 1) IC1 (the 4558 closest to the connecting wires side of the board) is *always* on, so it provides the constant hiss background against which flanger/delay-path noise...

"it's been a fun ride" ? Wait... In your build reports i can see all sorts of flangers, except the one true ultimate flanger : A/DA flanger. Can you seriously give up without building a single Lectric-Fx Flintlock circuit ? I'm not even mentioning the most singular Lovetone ? Flanger clone...

Hello, I am calibrating the byzantium and i m not sure how to set the Clock. The other 2 trimmers are easy to figure out, but Clock calibration is a bit more tricky for me. Madbean has a similar project, so i checked the instructions to calibrate my build...

I would use an audio probe and check if the signal is reaching the LED/LDRs section, and if it gets out with modulation from there. https://diy-fever.com/misc/audio-probe/ Follow the schematic and hopefully the audioprobe will help you find where is the issue. At least it should help narrow it...

I wonder if the Bathtub reverb can do the "drip effect" often used in surf rock ? Here is an example : I' m asking because i couldn't find any demo ?

I noticed that when i built it, a few years ago. I managed to dial a good and noticeable chorus modulation after spending some time on the calibration. I remember i used the vibrato switch to compare the modulated signal with the clean signal. I can't remember if i used Gain 1 and Gain 2...

made with an RC-3. Here the TS-50B is compared with 2 other amazing bass circuits, so we can feel the difference between TS-50B and a famous bass OD (original darkglass BK3, both switches engaged, blend and drive at noon, highs at 2' ) and a bass OD with real tubes (Sushi Box 's Bass Dude). The...
