I did check the Sonicake earlier. Not buying it, but checking reviews, etc. I have that on my list. Why I am not rushing to buy it is because in the past this strategy to tackle the problems I have in my effect chain with buying pedals that were claimed to be top quality transparent pedals did...

Thanks for the long introduction. Why I did not understand the box grounding stuff is because I absolutely don't know anything about the specific words and expressions related to electronics, but if you write me: if the jack slot is metal on the outside and that metal touches the metal of the...

https://sound-au.com/project67.htm This is what the commentor claims to be an obsolete design, and mentions that the THAT2150A is a more advanced and better quality technology. But gave idea only about the chip but not about the corresponding limiter circuit design. Edit: sorry I need to...

Okay, anyway, there was a comment elsewhere to this, and it suggested not to build the Fast Audio Peak Limiter. It says: "The FET is utilized as a controllable resistor in this limiter, and this way as a resistor between S and D it is not linear. So over 50mV load one can expect nasty...

Thank you for your description, and sorry, but I don't understand this that you are describing. I understand it only to the end of this sentence "you can see the PCB's ground-pad to the right of the LED's pads; grounded from the DC-Jack between the two signal-jacks." I am a beginner so I can...

Can you draw on the image what you mean exactly? Draw to whichever DC plug is needed for this.

I am looking to build the Fast Audio Limiter. The schematic is below. Do the connections needs to go as indicated by me onn the image, or did I interpret something wrong? Guitar pedals that I disassembled had a metal spring as well that was soldered to the circuit board and was touching the...

I checked most that you listed, and Fast Audio Peak Limiter seems to be the one to me that might help in tackling the problem of outstanding peaks in the signal of my guitar. The description mentions certain aspects from that it seems it might work. But from elsewhere I was suggested to try...

Yes, I might be wrong about the correct term. In the beginning my helpers were taling about an op-amp, later this circuit was recommended.

I have built this op-amp circuit below to be able to adjust the input volume at the beginning of my effect chain to pedals without needing to turn the volume knob down on my guitar that causes trebles being lost. I was recommended this circuit instead, as it was said to preserve the trebles on...

I understand that you refer to, the question is whether such nuances apply to my case as well. And if yes, what is it that causes the difference.

But I have already done this in the past. And even after that the guitar sounded like now.

Okay, but what setup you mean?

I did adjust the pickups lower on my guitar earlier, but I did not like the response in that case. More difficult to play, the decay becomes much shorter, the sound becomes staccato-like. So I raised them to the level where they now have been for a long time. As I remember it did not make a big...

Yes, I did. There is difference. The even dynamics from the Schecter can help gaining headroom for the problematic effects. Does not solve the problem completely, because the very last frets 23-24 are still a bit outstanding, though much less than on my guitar. But the Schecter makes it possible...

The only the compressor before the problematic pedals and even dynamics from the guitar is the solution. I have a Schecter Omen guitar here now that I borrowed, it has even volume all along the neck, except for the 23-24th fret, there there is also a little jump that would benefit from cutting...

Demeter suffers from distortion problems as well. Maybe not intermodulation, but a crackling-like effect on the decay can be heard when I play at the 20-24th frets. Very likely due to a low headroom of some element. The trimpot setting it offers has no effect on it. It is the wide dynamic range...

For some reason, all problematic devices (either compressor or chorus) seems to have problem with the same range on my guitar. This makes me think that either the specs of the transistor or some other parts are similar in them. I mean in the ones that have this headroom problem. The swap to 12v...

I need to build a compressor or limiter that I can use to regulate the signal in my effect chain before routing the signal to low headroom effects. The range to squeeze is not wide, would be fairly easy to set it only for a few outstanding peaks. I have a studio compressor like pedal, but it...

I noticed this problem with compressors initially, but remembered that 15 years ago I had a chorus pedal that produced similar nasty distortions like my compressors, and now as I know the phenomenon that causes the issue I decided to rebuy that pedal and see if it could be modded to get rid of...
