To be fair, the Mutron was developed for keyboard…. The Junk Trunk does play well with guitar. It may not be the spiky quack you lean towards, but as I mentioned it does synthy better than the Mutron.
That’s a cool feature of the Spectron (Lovetone Meatball) it has an effects loop that you can drop whatever into to get that bloom effect w/o having to adjust the sensitivity to a different input level. I will def have to give your suggestion a try
Small Clone > CE-2. Something ab the 3007 (and the circuit around it) is just way better to me. Built a MBP Touchstone (with vibe/chorus mod) awhile back but gave it to my son for his bday (his choice) then built a Caesar to “replace” it since I had 3207 on hand and it just isn’t the Touchstone...
So a lot of these are replacements to pedals I have reluctantly sold, have had a request for, or I’ve built other iterations of the same circuit. There are 2 net new builds in the bunch. Let’s start with those. Truth be told, I like mostly useless noise makers. I wish I could use them in music...
Thanks. I mean a red crayon and lettering and I’d be…….cease and desisted 🤣. Meh on the pile it goes maybe to be played every once in awhile, maybe to be sold. Maybe you will find it more to your liking.
Thanks man. Def keeps me from going down the road of the peavey pre pedals etc. if I want to sound like shit I’ll just go spend the $50 at musicgoround and then Office Space the MF’er after 5min
Not sure why this is even a thing. Who asked for this or more appropriately what interview identified this as the “secret sauce” to someone’s famous tone? Whatever. There are some sounds in here that aren’t terrible, but the amount of parts compared to ROI is incredibly disproportionate. I did...
After listening to the jhs demos I had this filed under “why the F did I buy this PCB!?” and then I saw a unicorn Harry Klippton build report and had a brief moment of hope. “If Harry took the time to build it surely it has some redeeming value.” Sadly I am back to my original thoughts after...
I def don’t know even a 1000th of what Chuck does ab circuits, but I know that any tone tone stack has the potential to lose volume and I would presume that if you are losing volume there then the buffer isn’t going to actually bring it back up, it’s just going to buffer what is going into it...
Placed a $162 order yesterday (resistors, caps, pots, boxes, a few NE555s, the works. Cost to ship DHL express was $48. Still worth it for ease of finding what I need vs mouser even though I still have to order a few things through them.
You could try strapping a small capacitor across the power jack terminals. Try 100pf. Make sure your grounding is good. You could try shielded in/out wire with the shield grounded. Probably not a whole lot you can do on such a small circuit.
Chorus all day ery day. I especially like the MBP Touchstone w/ vibe mod. The General Tso is a great, easy to use comp, but I agree with the idea that you should learn how to manage your dynamics on your own first. If you go envelope filter the Mutron (or a derivative, looking at you Lovetone...
