    Heir and a Spare? Cloning the Prince of Tone

    After running out of MA856s, AnalogMan switched to BA282s that also clip around 0.8V. (They’re also discontinued). The MXR Duke of Tone uses BA479s. (also discontinued) Even the BAS33 that AionFX recommends is discontinued! That extra fraction of a volt of headroom is such a PITA.

    Random Helpful Gizmos Thread - Share Yours!

    Not on the same level as the tools already posted in this thread, but I used to *really* struggle applying waterslide decals and getting the bubbles out before I discovered silicone makeup brushes https://a.co/d/7V6JZRx

    EQ Before and After a Circuit?

    Nah, not redundant. They're not multiband EQs, but think about the Timmy - the bass rolloff is pre-gain and so affects both the bass/mids *and* the amount of gain and clipping, the treble rolloff is post-gain and so affects the treble after it's been clipped. If you boost bass going into a...

    Adding Send/Return Loops to Pro-10

    Could likely do it with the extra height of a 1590BBM/BBS/BBT enclosure (Which the OG Protein does, as do AionFX’s dual drive projects like their Theseus and Gladiator which have switched loop jacks)

    Treble bleed PCB

    Is that a 1M5 resistor, or am I misreading the color codes? Just seems high, most treble bleed circuits I was looking at had resistor values in the low hundred Ks.

    Treble bleed PCB

    So my Double Trimpot board is the same height and only 0.315” longer! Should still fit in most control cavities

    Treble bleed PCB

    So yeah looks like it’s all in parallel. What are the dimensions of the board? Obviously the double trimpot board will be larger, but I’m wondering by how much

    Ooh, new subforum! Love the idea!

    Treble bleed PCB

    So there are in-guitar buffers (I know I've seen you design a few, and of course there's stuff like the Strat Jackplate Stratoblaster), buffers that hang off of your and there are buffer pedals on boards (where space is a premium), wonder if there's a market for a middle ground, a buffer that...

    Treble bleed PCB

    "I've had good success with this circuit. I originally saw it in a Suhr guitar, gotta give credit where credit is due. It was a 680pf cap in parallel with a 150k resistor. But then that network is put in series with another 120k resistor. I used a 100k series resistor and really like the effect...

    Treble bleed PCB

    Eh what the hell. Sixteen cap options (100p, 220p, 470p, 1n - so any value from 100p up to 1.8n in *ridiculously* fine-grained increments), a jumper to insert the "Parallel" trimpot. 1.315" x 0.5". I think this basically covers it all, right? DOUBLE TRIMPOT V3

    Treble bleed PCB

    Those values sound basically perfect! DOUBLE TRIMPOT V2

    Treble bleed PCB

    That's just ridiculous, for my own sake I refuse to believe there are *that* many shades of treble bleed that are different enough to justify having on a product so then 220p, 470p, and 1n maybe, that'd give 220p, 470p, 690p, 1n, 1.2n, 1.5n, and 1.7n

    Treble bleed PCB

    with 100p, 220p, and 470p caps, you could combo them to get 100p, 220p, 320p, 470p, 570p, 690p, or 790p, and with all dip switches down that's same as "off" Not sure if there's a good combo of three values that total closer to 1n that will cover as even a spread in the middle values but I...

    Treble bleed PCB

    How's this then? Went with some lower cap values that I think should cover the sweet spot range (but of course can be subbed for whatever), board size of 1.35" x 0.5". 4-way dip switch (or two 2-ways), first DIP for the parallel trimpot (labeled "P" because I'm so clever) then the next three are...

    So sockets then!

    Treble bleed PCB

    Seems like at least a cursory search for treble bleeds is that most people favor caps under 1nF and resistors in the 100-200K range, how far outside of that range/what resistor and cap combos does it start to not sound “flat” anymore? (Never played with ‘em myself because I’m not a volume...

    Treble bleed PCB

    Unverified but they look right to me, here's the DipTrace files and Gerber ZIPs if anyone wants to try 'em out, I bet they'll be a few cents each tops (the "ALL ON TOP" board is 1.25" x 0.5", the "TRIMPOT" board is 1.00" x 0.5")...

    Treble bleed PCB

    Only if you're picky about sticking up a bit :) jk that's a good point, guess another quarter-inch won't hurt to make room up top
