    Yet another Particle Accelerator (i love it!)

    Well well well, after a while i have to sit and write nothing but praise for this great pcb from Sushi Box/C2C: Here is the thing: after i couldn't repair the C2C Supersonic (ahem..waiting for the new pcb @vigilante398 :p ) I've decided to build another tube preamp to replace a pedal although...

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    Sure, but i need some time to sit and write hehe As far as i know Klaus make them by request upon a charge to include the drilling. It was fine, maybe a millimeter unprecise, but everything fitted. Great kit btw! I like at least 3 times more my sound now. I have a half dead supersonic pcb tho...

    Analog Tube Power amp simulator: studying possibilities

    thanks guys! it never occurred to me that a distortion pedal or preamp could carry the "power amp" part. I will look further into it more, and see what goes on in this. I will share my findings as things come to my brain You rock!

    Analog Tube Power amp simulator: studying possibilities

    So, here's the deal: i've tried many digital amp simulations, none convinced me. Fine, so i've found tube preamps, that to my ears are a step ahead. BUT, yes, but, there's always this feeling that something just doesn't work with digital and my ears. In very specific, the power amp...

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    Oh I’m sorry to read that. Well, classic semiconductors are getting scarce and hard to get, insert fake parts. Most parts now are smd so unless there’s a reliable source it will become a need to have smd adapters or something. It’s a shame because those are kind of essential to some of the...

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    I will report my results in a proper post, but all was well! Pedal is working and sounding sweeet mm mm. My former Amt Vx clean tube preamp really pales, being really selective on the drive pedals. Components were all correct (I was a bit skeptical with the high voltage capacitors, they are...

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    Howdy everyone! Good news here. My kit from Das musikding has arrived. I’m a happy lad now. I will check the components values to be sure all is good to finish this fella this weekend. Suddenly I want to celebrate in company of a pint. 😁

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    You’re right @LukeFRC, that’s why I thought it was a good idea to buy from them, I live in Chile and I asume everything is more strict that what can be here lol. Yeah, the reason of my concern is that my order it just says “paid” up to date. Not “processing” or something alike.

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    Thanks for your input guys/gals. Yeah, I’m spoiled with how PPCB does things and I (wrongfully) asume most electronic sellers are the same. If nothing happens by Monday I will email Klaus and see what’s up. I understand that if it is a one man operation things could take some time (didn’t knew...

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    Thank you tegendemuur, and yes, I’m well aware about the import duties run on me. The point is that our service relies on the shipping ID or number, and as long as I don’t report it to customs, all is delayed (they don’t make things fast anyway) and since they run their own way to tax the...

    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    So, long story short, I needed a clean fender tube base preamp to stack my drive(s) on top, to send both direct and class d power amp. My Amt pre isn’t delivering the goods and I wasn’t convinced to use clean fet preamp (Indiana ppcb) so I wanted to buy a particle accelerator from c2c but they...

    Complex overdirive with alien noises

    hey man! if i've read correctly you stated you used one NE 555? because i think thats not the normal IC for that application: datasheet is that one? that produces pulses...so to not be mistaking it with an NE5532 Hope it helps!

    PPCB Indiana Deluxe Overdrive (wow)

    So, having problems with the C2C (still can't debug it so i sent it to a person who knows better to solve the issue than i would :cry: ), i've figured that i needed a stop gap solution for playing/recording direct. Bought this pcb, thinking that i had the original Wampler Tweed and didn't...

    Journal: C2C Supersonic build (from scratch)!

    thanks for the help! Sure, this is the other side: Some Spots are gold colored, but there is solder at the center (I was thinking in measure conductivity there but today had no time) Right now i don't have the switch jack connected, only the return one is, and i've wired those as this picture...

    Journal: C2C Supersonic build (from scratch)!

    Well, when reality strikes... I've completed the soldering of the elements, turned the pedal on and... NADA The leds turn on but no sound comes from the preamp. I boosted the gain on both channels and i just hear crackle and no signal from the guitar, also the second led from right to left...

    Journal: C2C Supersonic build (from scratch)!

    good news everyone! Some advances have been made from the last time. It's been a while, lots of things going on. Unfortunately my dad had to be hospitalized (now he is fine) so that took some time from working on this. Populated the PCB and i'm about to finish to solder last components. I...

    Journal: C2C Supersonic build (from scratch)!

    Second part of the journey: Today arrived some small value components so I began to populate the circuit. I didn’t find the uf4007 diode so I bought an 1n4007 but reading the properties of it, now I don’t know if it’s compatible so I’ll wait on that one. Apart from a resistor value that’s a bit...

    Journal: C2C Supersonic build (from scratch)!

    yup, but when i was getting the parts, they were out of stock :( so i had to improvise.
