Distortion using RED LEDs. Does Size Matter? SMD or full size LEDS? I have a run of the mill distortion pedal, BEOD clone. It uses RED LEDs in the circuit, harder you hit the strings, the more bright they become. Would there ne a difference using really tiny surface mount Red Leds or Full...

IT adds no brightness what so ever. And the odd thing is, its in a place that couldn't possibly add brightness. I tried it anyhow. thanks for your help. i dont think we are going to get more brightness out of this circuit without making something else sound bad.

the R17 changes made zero difference to brightness, yet dropped the volume by about 1 quarter.

Oh you can make amps bright, but that's not the question. Some old amps or others are dark even with bright up. I just want the option of brightness when needed. Treble and bright are two different things.

If i wanted to make Middle deeper, cut more mids when i turn the dial down, maybe half C15 cap size? I have done the above mods, the best was treble, yet almost no more birghtness, but created a really great treble cut by accident that created an amazing dumble ish super duper smooth and...

This is a sort of dark sounding pedal, (i built an AION design called the tempest), the treble isnt that bright, same for original pedal. Im wanting to see how to brighten up this pedal, or add more brightness to the treble dial, or a dedicated bright switch, yet i dont know which part of the...

Can anyone help. I built this for fun, it works perfectly, but im wanting to mod it just a little bit, to produce a slightly heavier compression from the limiter dial. It gives a unique slight compression to overall output, like a compressor or like output tube compression, but not quite like a...

yeah im working on sorting nets / wires that are routed a bit lazy. ill update what i find. thanks for your input

Hello. I built a vintage univibe clone, SMD version, and it works flawlessly in regards to the vibe function, yet, there is some separate noise sneaking through. The noise is a swish swish swish with the bulb flash that is separate from the vibe effect sound. All other aspects of the pedal...

how to add a simple buffer to pedal? jacks? mainly from the buffer, im wanting to eliminate switch popping on and off.

yeah i tried the C pot just before i saw your message. Now i have full dial sweep effect. perfect! Stock should have been A500K, yet a lot of pedals have terrible tapers on their released pedals, not well thought out at all. I went from A500K to C50K and its simply spectacular now. thanks for...

I have a boost pedal, its going great, but the boost dial / pot, almost all the effewct comes on in the last 5 %, from about 7-10 is where everything happens, nothing before that. Ive tried A100K and A500K, and seems to be about the same. Would it be more than just the pot? Suggestions please.

my circuit is a fet boost running a buck voltage boost circuit at 132 volts, with a 3 band EQ and boost knob only at present.

can you draw picture, not sure about where to put the caps? lugs?

good plan

yeah wiper is output. no low end lose, only high end treble, more treble lose the more you lower the dial

the pedals a high volage fet boost. unity with amp with this pedal is when boost is at zero. a master volume would allow to lower overall output and use the boost as a drive. it goes very loud as you turn up boost. needing an output master volume

Hello everyone. I have a general boost pedal. I want to add a volume / master volume control on the output jack, yet just adding A100K pot seems to take away some of the high frequencies, i.e. you loose treble (or brightness) while turning down the volume pot. I want to retain the treble /...

oh all good. any adjustment with throb on vibes is a good mod. My vibe has a really nice balance of preamp and throb, but i feel a little bit more depth would be nice. its a bit of perfection / obsession going on, but results have been good so far. ill post a video and audio result over next...

so this is not a type of bias mod for bulb, completely different area eh. As i have a bias mod and it made a huge difference at getting a better throb. Yet here, my only goal is to have the entire vibe circuit and effect come forward more wet and sort of over shadow the output, slightly. just...
