I played this through my Vibroverb and Super Reverb. It is a sensational circuit. It can get great (useable) lows, highs and mids. It can get incredibly transparent it and provide very clean boost. Dial up the gain and the circuit will summon the murder wasps. It also has excess headroom and I...
You did a great job, After building two of these I just think it is a crap circuit. I own several noise gates and this one is not half as good as them. FYI: I like the knob you have on it in the second image.
I have built one of these and it worked great other than it seemed to thicken my tone.In any event I hope some others can help you with this issue. I will also take a look and see what I can see,
Edit: I double checked all of your resistors and they are correct
I looked at the empty enclosure for a week. Then I drilled the footswitch hole and D.C. - and looked at it for two more weeks. Then I put it together over a few days. This is a magical and wonderful circuit which I enjoy. I have to thank @Harry Klippton for the inspirational 1590a thread: a...
I understand - I stockpile enclosures and components. Today I wanted more black hammer enclosures like the one I put an Article 59 in but Tayda sold out of every size.
I followed the build documents exactly including using BC 549C instead of the BC 549B that I used on the first build. I was prepared to swap out components but it sounds wonderful. I have to think it was a problem with my build the first time. I’ve certainly got a lot better at building and...
Some folks do not like this circuit and I was one of them. This build is different. It sounds terrific. I socketed everything so that I could change things out if the circuit sounded bad; It sounds great. I would put this one on my board. It has a creamy overdrive that can get fuzzy if you crank...
I have been using the leaf type without issues. It seems to me that the IC is leaf, and it fits the leaf socket as it should. The machined type is a round hole which does not seem ideal for a leaf type IC leg.
NOTE: It looks like my C4 is incorrect in these builds. It should be a 1n instead of the 100n that I have installed. FYI: the D3lay pedal worked great and had good volume, but the Threeverb does not quite have unity even with the volume knob all the way. I only noticed today and I do not have...
I love this circuit and this is the second one that I have built. I realize I never did a report for the first one so here is the second. I tried to give a distressed look to the 125b with layers of paint and sanding, I applied a clear coat over vinyl labels (1/2 inch and 1/4 inch). I enjoy the...
