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...

Wait... i just realized this troubleshooting thread is about the TS-50 guitar version... I built the Bass version and according to the build doc, they are different although they look the same. So i can't say if the guitar version is good or "underwhelming".... The bass version is great, though.

I built this effect, it's not supposed to be noisy, although there is some usual gain background noise when Gain is set on high values, especialy if the Boost switch is engaged. I think i still see some suspicious joints. Here are a few examples : RED = the solder isn't filling the soldering...

Hello, My last build is an Hoof Reaper clone made with a musikding kit. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf Everything sounds fine as far as i can tell, all controls are working. I only noticed one obvious issue : If i just use the Tonebender and if i activate the octave, there...

I have a noticeable volume loss when the tonebender is activated and i switch the octave on. It's not the case with the muff, the volume is the same if i activate the octave. I looked online and in the demo it's not behaving like that. I built the musikding kit, Instead of 2N1308 for Q4 & Q5...

thanks for your reply ! I saw a thread about a Cleft mod. I guess it's different from the Ungula Cloven version, supposed to be interesting on bass too ? https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/ungula-cleft-modification.406/ What is this Cleft mode ?
