    Film Capacitors - Box or Mylar?

    From a practical POV, mylar cost half but are bigger. If you wanna dig deeper: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt796a/slyt796a.pdf?ts=1709729727125

    Hope it's useful. When I started I used a boss DS1 with an SG on a clean channel and I hated it. But later I tried a DS1 with a Strat on a warm marshallesque amp, and I could not believe it was the same pedal. It's not just the way the pedal reacts to the types of pickup sounds, but also the...

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    Are you using an isolated 9v power supply, so that all the outputs have separate isolated grounds?

    It's a pedal meant to be used on a not 100% clean amp. That's why it's fizzy. Are you also using it with humbuckers? That said, I guess I would start with a 4n7 or so cap in parallel to the clipping diodes D11 and D12. You can solder the cap on the back side of the board, so no component...

    Fuzz Face Mod

    I've never used inductances in a signal chain, so I wonder if that's not just overkill/over-engineering for just a treble cut. They are clearly not using the core saturation for non-linearity purpuses. Also, even if there's some magic, they are not emulating the cable treble loss because of...

    green mean metal machine build documents

    Linear is closer, since the W curve is symmetric. You will have almost all the pot effect at the limits and almost no effect at the center, but the center will remain neutral. JIC: Linear is B

    Fuzz Face Mod

    From fulltone website: A Contour Knob lets you dial in Midrange, Harmonics and Sustain Seems like the Aion FX Epsilon Silicon Fuzz is pretty close to the Fulltone 69, but adding the Jack Orman pickup simulator at the beginning.

    Fuzz Face Mod

    The smooth pot it's at the input. The pot we are referring here it's actually the bias pot.

    Fuzz Face Mod

    Oh, it's in series with the 470R. (Also, it's a NPN fuzz face) It's changing a bit of the Q2 bias and common emitter gain, but mostily the output amplitude is increased since the 8k2+470R voltage divider (original circuit values) is been modified. I read the Aion documentation and I dont see...

    Friedman Pedals - a circuit comparison

    Hi everyone. I read the whole FSB thread, and I'm still confused. Did people settle with using 1N4148? or any particular schottky (1N5817,BAV99,BAT...)?

    Fuzz Face Mod

    There's no pot between the 33k resistor and the 470 resistor there. Could you draw an schematic?

    Fuzz Face Mod

    Mess with the transistors bias. What are you trying to achieve with that mod?

    Toggling to a 2nd Output Volume Pot in Overdrives?

    Switch both pins 2 and 3 to have the exact same circuit. Switch only pin 2 to have about the same output impedance when the volume is not at max. But circuit will see the volume pot as half the actual pot resistance. Switch the pin 2 and double the pot value to have the same resistance seen from...

    Uber Drive Mods

    I have a SD1 modded for low gain as follows: - Better low gain control: DRIVE pot to A500K, R6 shorted (jumper). - Bit more volume at max: R11 shorted (jumper) - For better neck humbucker response (this reduces the final low end too): C2 from 18n to 10n.

    Stock GE7 to XTS Version?

    Were you able to take a peak inside? Since they modify any variant, I suspect they may use their own PCB instead of component swapping.

    PedalPCB 5-Loop True Bypass Switcher

    I though of a way to do it with less relays: (Sorry for the horrible quality, I don't have my phone around so I used my webcam) This way the amount of SPDTs needed is a lot less. I didn't decompose the function, but it's basically L squared (5loops is 25 spdt relays. 8 loops is 64 spdt relays).

    PedalPCB 5-Loop True Bypass Switcher

    You mean like when all the effects are off? One effect off still means to route the signal from the effect before to the effect after. It still goes through the routing.
