    Modify Simulcast to NPN

    Thanks for your reply. As this is the simplest option it is also my preferred option! I figured this would work but I just wanted other opinions. I’ll try out the trim pots if necessary.

    Modify Simulcast to NPN

    Hey everyone I'm thinking of making a Simulcast/Duocast but I don't have any germanium transistors and I have a couple of quesitons: Can I use a PNP silicon transistor in place of the germanium one? If no to above, can I modify the PCB to accept NPN transistors in q2? Schematic is here I've...

    Can someone help with this tube screamer schematic?

    RE the compensating cap for IC3. Do you mean I should connect Pin 1 to ground? Would a 100uf electro cap do the trick? It does pop when I flick the switch and it takes a while to change voltage. I did put this together but it clearly isn't working as I had hoped. I might make a version 2 that...

    Can someone help with this tube screamer schematic?

    Haha well that will do it. Thanks again for your comments, they are a big help. I might revise this design to be a lot more simple. Don;'t get me wrong, i'm not trying to be rude. I really appreciate the help.

    Can someone help with this tube screamer schematic?

    Thanks chuck for entertaining my stupid ideas! Your feedback is appreciated. I’ll try these out today and over the weekend. R28 is 7k5. Why will the buffer switch kill the signal in the non buffer position? Is it because the power supply is cut off in the non buffer position? You are right by...

    What are your favourite tube screamer mods?

    Hello again. I finally got around to putting this together and (as I had suspected) it doesn't work properly. Would anyone be able to have a look at the schematic for me and give me some tips re why why it's not working? The most recent schematic is attached. It passes signal so that's a win...

    Can someone help with this tube screamer schematic?

    One thing that stands out to me is the gain and band clips are connected to Vref and not ground. I took this idea from the stockade but other TS schematcs have this connected to ground. Should this matter?

    Can someone help with this tube screamer schematic?

    Hey I've been working on a Tube Screamer circuit with all of the mods. I posted about it on this thread but I have clearly bitten off more than I can chew. I have put it together and it passes signal so that's a win, however there is no gain. With an audio probe I have tracked the problem to...

    DOD FX22 (Vibro Thang) schematic - make true bypass?

    I got this thing going properly! Apparently if you put the led in the right way it works as intended. Who knew? D6 on the schematic is a rate LED. Didn't know that since I'm pretty sure the original didnt have one. Pretty neat. I'll put this in a box with my next order and hope the noise goes...

    Where can I find a genuine mc1496?

    Hi everyone. I’m hoping to make a gonkulator but I need to find an mc1496. I see a few on eBay but I have been burned before. If anyone knows a reputable seller with this that would be awesome. Preferably through home but smd is ok. I see banzai has it but it’s about $50 shipping to...

    Fornicus LEDs

    Yeah the internal trim is a bit of a waste for me. I just have it fully on. Full clockwise (for mine anyway) has max sag. You can actually see the boom LED light up/decrease when you turn it. On my build there is a huge difference in the weight switch with heavy being very saggy and light being...

    DOD FX22 (Vibro Thang) schematic - make true bypass?

    Well I put this together this afternoon. I won't say it went smoothly but it seems to work. Here is a video. It's very noisy and I'm not sure it works 100%, but it works and sounds pretty much like it should! I'll have to keep working on this.

    Fornicus LEDs

    Mine seems to be working fine. Yellow led is always on for me too. If the red led goes on but doesn’t impact your round I’d look at r22. You may have the wrong value here. I put a trimmer here and found that there was a narrow area that it actually worked. I settled on 1k5 anyway Or you could...

    Tayda UV Printing - Issue Flagged - "There is rdg_white used but some parts are missing, no rdg_white"

    Have you checked every single item in your white layer? Not as a group? I find that I often make a fill in rdg white but the stroke stays in another colour especially is you select everything in a layer/group and change the colour at once. You kind of have to check the fill and stone for...

    Paragon mini (KoT) gain question

    Why not try a trim pot with pins 2 and 3 connected? I do this a lot when I can’t decide what I like best. Just put a 100k trim where your 100k resistor is and adjust to see what you like best. Or a lower value if you don’t like what you have.

    DOD FX22 (Vibro Thang) schematic - make true bypass?

    🥸 Well I’ve done the layout already. I’ll double check the schematic tonight (I’m always making silly mistakes) and send it to JLPCB. I’ll let you know if I get it working. If you don’t hear from me then it’s in my drawer of shame.

    DOD FX22 (Vibro Thang) schematic - make true bypass?

    Of course, thank you. I should have said. And Yes I have upvoted as well. I'm quite interested in this (I'm sure that's obvious though).

    What are your favourite tube screamer mods?

    You mean I won't ever be able to turn the circuit off? Yes I need some attention to that. However my idea is to make this effectively two independent PCBs but on the same board. I'll just connect everything with wires. Had trouble getting my head around the order switching.
