I will not stand idly by as my beloved Shallow Water is besmirched!! lol but seriously, the dfx Spaceman Explorer clone uses that Stomplfo chip so I'm familiar with it. Its random waveforms are nothing like Shallow Water. There's something extra going on there that really sounds like wonky tape...

Forgot the VIIB, made that one and it's very cool indeed. I'm pretty sure my Ibanez CS9 is based on the CE2 so I'm reluctant to build another one in that family. I wish Fairfield's Meet Maude was available. Basically an analog delay with the Shallow Water in the FX loop? or any other lo-fi...

I took inventory of parts today and was surprised to realize I have five MN3207 and a couple MN3007 chips. So obviously I should do a BBD project next :cool: Here are the BBD projects I've already made: Low Tide (Fairfield Shallow Water) madbean DMM madbean Maxon AD900 dfx Lovetone flanger dfx...

ha, as proof I would point you here https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/viib-build.7545/

This is my finished VIIB build, which I'm calling the Tendril. Continuing to develop my metal stamped-typewriter art concept and I must say, this one looks reeally good :D

Interesting. The Informant uses a charge pump, yet it takes 12v okay...I played it a few hours before realizing my error and it's fine.

I've built the Informant and the Mach 1. Both sounded pretty good but didn't quite live up to the hype. Recently I reconfigured my board, and suddenly I thought these pedals sounded a lot better. I was getting the hype! The catch? I had accidentally powered them with 12v! Not only did they not...

I didn't try messing with the trims yet -- I realized they might affect the rate range(?). I'm still not entirely sure what the trims do without docs but I'll give that a shot.

Turns out my C23 was a mislabeled Russian cap. Although it was actually an oversized cap, it was 470n instead of 47n! I got it in a grab bag from some Russian transistor seller on ebay...foolish not to check it first. I thought I'd add some "Russian mojo," and I guess I did in a way :D Thank you...

No worries, I've done the same. Just in a facetious mood :cool: Thanks! I'll check this when I get a chance

Yes, in fact there are several pictures above demonstrating this ;) btw I still haven't gotten this to work. Pretty much given up on it at this point

These are two pedals I really like the sound of in demos. Of course, it would be great to get PCBs for these. But out of the pedalpcb selection, are there fuzzes you feel are similar?

I'm getting a variable voltage reading on pin 9 (fluctuates up and down). which I'm guessing means the LFO is present? I can't figure out why the vibe would be there just like I expect, then quickly flatten out. A short, somewhere? The board looks good and clean. My only idea at this point is...

Great! thank you

any estimate when we will get build docs, or at least a schematic for this? I don't think I can debug it without the schematic.

Finally getting back around to this! Life got hectic, as it sometimes can do. I did this test with the analog board detached. Bypassed (draws 2ma) G = 4.01v R = 0.01v Active (draws 3ma) G = 0.02v R = 4.98v I clipped out the LED to test with my multimeter. Putting my red probe on the center...

Tried this. The LED does not light after switching, but the volume is now consistent between on/off in the new mode. Otherwise the behavior is identical. People disagree about resistors having a "sound" but I'm convinced Takman carbon films do actually warm up the signal path, in a nice vibey way.

The LED is common cathode, it's part 2306B from Small Bear. I tried a working 3207 from my Low Tide build and got the same behavior. I've actually not had any problems with Banzai but it's good to know others have.

I don't know if anyone else went ahead and built their VIIB even before build docs are posted...well I couldn't wait! Without biasing instructions I'm just guessing but I've got it in a place where distortion is minimzed and the vibrato happens sometimes (see below). Running at 9V, it draws...

Looking for a chimey British amp-in-box pedal. Not to sound like Brian May or classic rock, but for the light-to-medium dirt tones found in Radiohead and indie bands. Think of the "I Might Be Wrong" riff. I know there are many other ways to approximate that tone, but I'd like to build something...
