    The Week on the Breadboard: The Emperor of Tone

    Or around the stomp switch. I use those glowing white washers on everything now. Warms my minimalist heart.

    A Holiday Gift for the Gang!

    There used to be a wonderful restaurant where I live called the Santa Fe, and the owner had actually travelled to Santa Fe from Australia to study New Mexican cooking. I really miss that place. The food was amazing. And he often gave me a little container of his home-pickled jalapenos to take...

    General capacitor questions

    And here's me thinking that tan loss angle meant the Scandinavians lost their tans because of the greater angle to the sun. Maybe it's because their capacity to tan is affected by that angle? I have so much to learn.

    Zonk

    That's definitely it. Excess random lengths of wire are known to cause darkness. Everyone knows that. It's odd how in the wide shot the input wire looks perfectly well connected to the switch but in the CU it looks like it's making no contact at all. What sort of weirdness is that?? Witchcraft...

    Angry Troll: "Shoebill Boost" (w/Gerber)

    Lovely clean build. I've wondered about the Angry Troll so thanks for the description. If you are looking for an unusual looking bird google the Tawny Frogmouth. They live around my area, are nocturnal and look like a part of a tree during the day. They're often mistaken for an owl, but they're...

    Hi-gain modern fuzz that isn't muddy/has clear note definition?

    Not being familiar with Aenima I can't say as to which amp is being used, but the traditional Marshall Superbass was simply a Superlead without the Superlead's guitar-centric modification. The differences are minor and the Superbass is more like a 5F6-a Bassman. The same kind of cabs were...

    Dudson Narrowcast: "White-Throated Overdrive" (w/gerber)

    I think I agree 100% with your assessment. It's a cool pedal. I use it more as a booster and have built one without the switch to leave it in the lower gain setting. The only other tweaks I made were to swap the 330pF cap across Q2 to a 2n2 and to make the Bass Cut cap 220µF rather than 100µF...

    Strongbad cracks me up! I thought those guys were hilarious.

    Sheepylove Sarda aka Dylan159 Clown Centurion

    @szukalski alerted me to Dylan159 with the Narrowcast, his take on the Broadcast. With a couple of tweaks it is a great boost. The Clown Centurion is interesting and one I have thought about trying myself. I feel the same about the Klon, but like to try things just in case - you never know what...

    Cross Contaminator

    I think they burninated all the peasants. I agree - cool build!

    It's 333 Euros. Which is a lot more than 333Kr! :oops:

    Hi-gain modern fuzz that isn't muddy/has clear note definition?

    Things that create distortion don't know what they are - we just label them. So if it sounds fuzzy we call it a fuzz. If it sounds very distorted but tight we call it a distortion. If it's tight and has lower gain to clean we call it an overdrive. :) So by definition a fuzz will be fuzzy and...

    Tayda packing and shipping

    What they said. It states on the website wherever a package might be held up because of powdercoating etc. If I order stuff which is all in stock the package usually gets to me in a few days and I'm in Australia.

    Stupid question number 245: bipolar power

    BTW I don't think either of your questions were stupid at all. That's what this place is for.

    Shorting Jacks?

    I never use them in pedals but have them for amp builds. They are absolutely needed in amps to ground unused input sockets and for combo speaker jacks for the main speaker. If the speaker lead gets pulled out the output is grounded which helps prevent transformer destruction.

    Looking for schematics

    Want to get a bit Voxy, huh? I wish I could help. That is a list I would be very interested in too - especially the Rubber Soul.

    Mach 1 Overdrive More Gain Mods

    phi1 beat me to it. Increasing gain - or distortion - will change the sound by adding highs. I know it's not what you asked for but sometimes using a booster before an OD will achieve what you want better than messing about with gain pots or diodes will. I mean you can swap the gain pot to an...

    Expresso

    If only the IC was longer... I agree with you re the name. But now that it's yours you can call it whatever you like. What about Cuppa Chino?

    Modded Animals Pedals Major Overdrive

    BTW here is the schematic I drew up for the stock Animals Pedals Major OD. The parts in red are those I can't say for sure are the correct values but when I pay my clone side by side with the original it sounds identical. Chuck was of course invaluable with help. This place would be a lot poorer...
