    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I got. This is more what I signed up for: And I didn't even know the rusty box existed

    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    Having built the Aion TS50b, I was pretty dang underwhelmed with the circuit. Not a lot of punch, not a lot of dirt, kinda tepid and limp. Jesus Lizard? More like Buddha Newt. I realize some bass amps are like this. I rechecked the refdes and all and all, as well as crossreferenced to the...

    How to add some diode clipping option on Darkglass Alpha Omega circuit (Bass dual distortion) ?

    What about stuffing some diodes in the 6-7 or 2-1 loops of ICs 3 or 4?

    How to add some diode clipping option on Darkglass Alpha Omega circuit (Bass dual distortion) ?

    Salut Eh La Bas Ma, Did you ever figure this out, and how are you liking the circuit? I am very interested in building this circuit for myself and a friend, because I really do like the [edit: duh. darkglass obsidius] a whole lot. So, from my li'l rookie eye, it looks like we have a unified...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    And I should also add that I really like the pedal! Not having the benefit of having built the unmodded version, it is a fun and versatile phaser that sounds really great to my ears.

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Well, so, anyway, and so forth, I checked the components against values and mods, and everything checked out in capacitors and resistors EXCEPT I had put 1m in instead of 2.2m for R2; I had meant to leave R27 at 27k (to see what this oscillation business was about) but subbed to 33k, and R23 was...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Thanks, Nostradoomus. I tried searching for over-amplification/distortion on the circulator, but I couldn't find anything. The discussion referenced above is the opposite of my issue. I just don't get why the gain is so out of spec. R6 is 10K, as required. Everything else checks out...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Hold the phone... Just double-checked against the screen print values and Chuck's notes, and it looks like C7 above the tl072s is 1uf, not 100nf. [Edit: subbed it, it makes a difference. Reasonable range is now volume 4 on the guitar. Still super gainy and distorted and waaay above unity...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    So.... Finished this this evening complete with all boneyard mods, and it is phasering and doing what phasers should do, but Besides being a tad dark, It has MASSIVE gain (and no gain/volume knob). Like I have to turn down my guitar volume to 2 for unity. 10 is like quadruple gain with heavy...

    Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard

    I think this begs the question of what schematic/trace you used...just as easy as the GGG schematic with bigger filtering cap, or what. Feral felines among others may be interested in such an information...

    Moonn Space Is Fun (DBA Reverberation Machine)

    I like the Dromtydning a whole lot, more interesting to me than space is fun in all it's dimensions. I didn't think that the space is fun fuzz setting is that interesting at all, and the sound of a Belton brick oscillating I REALLY don't like.

    SOLVED Duo Phase LEDs on full no change

    For the sake of posterity and avoidance of future builder frustrations: Well, I did me a troubleshoot. Finished this duophase after being away and plugged it in with anticipation, but no. First, both LEDs were on, no sound except for strangled braps of distorted signal. Did I want to...

    HYDRA Delay, is it supposed to do that??

    I think it's correct. head 1: dadadadada head 2: da. da. da. da head 3: da.. da.. da.. da.. head 4: da... da... da... head 1&2: dada da dadada da something like that. is the issue that 1&2 sound the same as 3&4 to you? [edit: sorry, had to use periods as the forum engine wouldn't respect my...

    HYDRA Delay, is it supposed to do that??

    What do you mean by phantom pause? Do you mean the rhythmic nature of the delay? I'm pretty sure that's intentional. Mine does it. The heads all do repeats at slightly different speeds, so when you combine them, it creates a rhythm because of gaps and overlaps Kind of like Steve Reich...

    SOLVED quick question pcb mount 9v barrel jacks

    This was it after all. I think when I tried reversing it, I was holding the board in a way to short the chip so it didn't make any sound. Duh! I looked at the traces on the drones board that was working, and sure enough, the positive went to the cathode/band side and the negative to the anode...
