    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    Abominable Electronics Oppressive Cult Destroyer Basically an OCD with voltage doubler, a bass boost toggle before clipping and a diode switch option. No sound in bypass. The wiggle everythng method yielded no results. Voltages looked good except for I wasn't getting output on 1 so assumed the...

    Yeah, Dan, I was pulling for the Lions, too. After the Bengals didn't make the playoffs of course. I had two teenage Swifties and an adult Swiftie who never watch football rooting for the chiefs while I was hoping to see someone other than Mahomes and crew when. 49ERS had a tough break on...

    Fornicus LEDs

    Regarding the LED I remember Brian posting this over at FSB: the f@ck is 3 jfet (2 j201, 1 2n5457) gain stages in series with the dual pot (gain) controlling the volume of the first 2. final 2n5089 is an emitter follower. SWTC for the high-cut control. the rest of the components are for an...

    DEMO Hyped Fuzz (Kowloon)

    Looks great man! Been contemplating building one with low gain transistors more like the original superfuzz....maybe it wont matter? Killer band, too. (Kowloon Walled City.)

    Best band of the 90’s…

    I graduated high school in 98, so the 90s is a very special decade of music for me. Alternative, Indie Rock, Grunge, Techno, Industrial, Hardcore and Nu-Metal. Just too much for there to be a best without further specification. Since there isn't much representation on the hind end of that decade...

    CONTEST Show us yer cart

    Might have missed the boat but still had fun putting this one together. Time to put some VFE boards to use courtesty of PPCButility boards, complete the Mascis muff I have wanted to do forever, attempt to coax non sea sick sounds outta the pitch witch and pit the projectile (cool Filmosound info...

    Any new concerts you're looking forward to (formerly 2023 concerts)

    I'll be catching Clutch, Red Fang and my guitar idol J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) Thursday in Louisville. Weather says 95 degrees and sunny. Gonna be a scorcher.

    Heterodyne question

    So usually I use audio out from my computer in to pedal out to practice amp to test stuff out. It seems a combination of a shoddy ground patch cord in that loop and then noise from single coil guitar when I switch ed to it, kept the gate open. Switched to humbucker and no problem. No tick in sub...

    Heterodyne question

    Thanks for all the info. That is exactly what mine does on the sub mode. I must have a problem somewhere along the 4069 as it sounds like you all dont have it motorboating on square. I will experiment with voltages to see if I can't nix the sub clicking. Will follow up with findings. Thanks again!

    CONTEST Tube Screaming Tuesdays

    Do I use all the options....no. No reason to build another screamer though!

    Heterodyne question

    Does it gate like the uglyface does when it is not being fed a signal? Mine is not gating and has motorboat/oscillator thing going on with only square and vol turned up. Pretty annoying! SUB does as well but more chirpy instead of full on. Thanks!

    Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

    Love this album. Been watching for it to popup cheap on cd with no luck for months. Must have heard the band name dozens of times over the past few decades, but finally gave them a listen this past week. Good times.

    VFE Merman - Oscillation (?) motorboating at higher gain

    Gotcha. Will take your word for it! I was mistaken about the choral reef. It and the old school benefit from the sps smt due to the ability to provide the higher voltages allowing for more clean headroom, however, you can do the same on the originals by using a 15v power supply. Alpha Dog and...

    VFE Merman - Oscillation (?) motorboating at higher gain

    Havent seen one in the wild but would imagine it would be in the latest revision of the choral reef if it was (apparently it had issues with the smt sps) I have wanted to build one of those after the latest version used two parallel delay lines. Wish there was a demo of it.

    VFE Merman - Oscillation (?) motorboating at higher gain

    I don't think so. The one above is like the original side mount boards. The SMD is an inductor based design. Either will work, technically, but they are different designs. SMD is inductor based to create the separate +/- voltages while the other two use a voltage inverter IC (7662)

    VFE Merman - Oscillation (?) motorboating at higher gain

    No, I am refering to the truesoft sps system. The one from madbean is truesoft standard, the one above in the video is sps system then there is the truesoft sps that looks like the image below. Admittedly, I may have got confused on the release order.

    VFE Merman - Oscillation (?) motorboating at higher gain

    Yeah, the sps board threw me for a loop, too. I think I mentioned this in someone's dragon thread. It is not a fine tune control for noise and goes from 0-18 regardless of what input voltage you are throwing at it. Sweet spot is typically between 10 and 12v. Some get noisy above 12 and of course...
