    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    Ding ding ding. Checked everything for the 13th time. Noticed I installed the C18 "OMIT" 10nf capacitor. So, I took the board out and, why not, checked the gain pot, because HAHAHAHA I COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE EFFED UP THE GAIN POT!!!!!11!! So, I effed up the gain pot. Master and Gain pots...

    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    Oh wait, what did Mr. Aion say? He said yeah, it was part of the switch circuitry that didn't affect the audio signal at all. He definitely is thorough and thoughtful around a circuit, but who knows. Why did Tronographic leave it? Just for the footswitch I guess.

    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    maybe it's because he isn't Canadian enough? Here you go, eh? After about 4:00 8:15 and 12:00 That's what I gathered from a discussion with Mr. Aion about the 2N5245. I wonder why Rusty Box left it in, then. Most likely, it is my build. I rechecked all values and they were correct, but...

    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    I hear you and understand all the helpful things y'all are saying. Signal chain is bass>pedal>Sunn Sonaro>Sunn 2x15 cab My TS-50b build does not sound like the videos I've heard of the actual amp nor the rusty box. Both are actually more comparable to each other and have much more gain and...

    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I got. This is more what I signed up for: And I didn't even know the rusty box existed

    Aion TS50b mods--making it clankier

    Having built the Aion TS50b, I was pretty dang underwhelmed with the circuit. Not a lot of punch, not a lot of dirt, kinda tepid and limp. Jesus Lizard? More like Buddha Newt. I realize some bass amps are like this. I rechecked the refdes and all and all, as well as crossreferenced to the...

    How to add some diode clipping option on Darkglass Alpha Omega circuit (Bass dual distortion) ?

    What about stuffing some diodes in the 6-7 or 2-1 loops of ICs 3 or 4?

    How to add some diode clipping option on Darkglass Alpha Omega circuit (Bass dual distortion) ?

    Salut Eh La Bas Ma, Did you ever figure this out, and how are you liking the circuit? I am very interested in building this circuit for myself and a friend, because I really do like the [edit: duh. darkglass obsidius] a whole lot. So, from my li'l rookie eye, it looks like we have a unified...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    And I should also add that I really like the pedal! Not having the benefit of having built the unmodded version, it is a fun and versatile phaser that sounds really great to my ears.

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Well, so, anyway, and so forth, I checked the components against values and mods, and everything checked out in capacitors and resistors EXCEPT I had put 1m in instead of 2.2m for R2; I had meant to leave R27 at 27k (to see what this oscillation business was about) but subbed to 33k, and R23 was...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Thanks, Nostradoomus. I tried searching for over-amplification/distortion on the circulator, but I couldn't find anything. The discussion referenced above is the opposite of my issue. I just don't get why the gain is so out of spec. R6 is 10K, as required. Everything else checks out...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Hold the phone... Just double-checked against the screen print values and Chuck's notes, and it looks like C7 above the tl072s is 1uf, not 100nf. [Edit: subbed it, it makes a difference. Reasonable range is now volume 4 on the guitar. Still super gainy and distorted and waaay above unity...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    So.... Finished this this evening complete with all boneyard mods, and it is phasering and doing what phasers should do, but Besides being a tad dark, It has MASSIVE gain (and no gain/volume knob). Like I have to turn down my guitar volume to 2 for unity. 10 is like quadruple gain with heavy...

    Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard

    I think this begs the question of what schematic/trace you used...just as easy as the GGG schematic with bigger filtering cap, or what. Feral felines among others may be interested in such an information...

    Moonn Space Is Fun (DBA Reverberation Machine)

    I like the Dromtydning a whole lot, more interesting to me than space is fun in all it's dimensions. I didn't think that the space is fun fuzz setting is that interesting at all, and the sound of a Belton brick oscillating I REALLY don't like.
