    Chop shop quick question

    Whelp... put the transistor in the wrong way and shredded it while trying to take it out. I have a 2n3904 and a 2n5089 as well as a bunch of muff transistors... would any of those be a decent sub for pn222a?

    Beautiful PCB on the production model.

    Chop shop quick question

    Whew... settled that... but, do you need to match the jfets for the build? Or does biasing achieve that?

    Chop shop quick question

    Just ordered my components and of course accidentally just ordered one jfet... doh... seeing if pedalpcb or smallbear still has my order in hand.

    Chop shop quick question

    Thank you! Going to make this for bass. I have an old Plumes build I'm just going to sub it into. I've gone through a bunch of bass OD's lately and feel like this could be what I'm looking for.

    Would 2N222A work?

    Chop shop quick question

    Actually... I have a chop shop question as well: the notes say that you need a PN222A transistor. I'm ordering from smallbear and you need to order a 5 pack. You can order a single PN2925, though. Is that an okay substitute?

    Bassifying a Muff

    I need to post it... but I had to give it some time and really listen. In the end, what I have been using is two different CMC Muffs. One is a tall font with Mids with the coupling caps replaced for 180n and LEDs (green/clear) in both sets of clippers. I am also using a Violet Rams head with...

    TUTORIAL Why Your Clean Blends Suck ... or "How to (Clean) Blend"

    I never done perf…how hard would it be to make an additive op amp blend like the nucleon fix one (starting from scratch)?

    Anyone know where to get the nucleon FD boards?

    Phase ii (w Blend Knob)

    I'm a bass player, so I'd just want to blend in more dry signal... not more phased signal.

    Phase II

    Does anyone know if you can run the Phaser II at 18V? Does it make a difference?

    Has anyone done this blend? How was it?

    Akronym

    How different is it, component-wise, than the Plumes? I have a Pedal PCB plumes that I tried to mod for bass but it's not great... would love to bring it over to blumes territory. I have an EQD Blumes and love it on bass. It's more of a utility pedal for me. Great boost/presence and helps bring...

    Bassifying a Muff

    I'm finding that if I reduce the value of the clipping caps from 47n to 18n (what I had on hand), a lot more clean bass is passed through and only the top end gets clipped. This sounds good to me... but I have been looking at all of the popular schematics and nobody goes below 47n on the...

    Son of Ben Preamp for Bass

    I think the only thing that could make this pedal better is dialing in a little bit more low mids. Probably a tonestack/resistor change? That's kind of the limits of my ability right now. Maybe adjust C3, C4, and R6... looks like they probably all work together?

    In doing the muff mods, I realized that my son of Ben could use another look to see if it could be optimized!

    Bassifying a Muff

    Haven't abandoned this project... just still playing around with it. I want to give it some time and go back and forth with some values. Also, someone just suggested over on talkbass putting a resistor between the clipping caps and the clipping diodes as a way to give more of a "blend" of...

    Definitely sourced from the many more experienced people here! I think I just put them all together for bass.
