I have a friend who wants a Big Muff with a clean blend. This hitch is he wants the clean blend on a footswitch so that he can toggle it off mid song and get the full blown fuzz. Would it be as simple as a adding a switch in the blend path like this to disconnect it (Obsidious for example)...

Hey guys. I've been working on a modded Expandora aionfx board. I moved the forbidden mode onto a footswitch with an LED indicator, but when playing live I didn't always like the huge volume jump. So i wanted to put in an alternate volume knob just for when i'm in that mode. Does all this wiring...

Apparently this isn't uncommon with fuzz face circuits. Anyway i love the transistors in it. The character of the pedal sounds great as is when i set the gain to 99%. So i was wondering if it was possible to swap the 1k fuzz pot to 500 ohm, then use a resistor in series so that to max resistance...

How sturdy does it seem? Have you mounted it on anything or or built an enclosure or just using as is? Can you even mount it with the knobs being on the same side as the components?

I'm wanting to be able to quickly swap between 4 transistors when auditioning GE ones. I believe a 3P4T is what I'd want. Going off of this diagram. Let's say A = Emitter, B = Base, and C = Collector. The 4 transistors would be wired up like this, correct? E: 1 B: 5 C: 9 E: 2 B: 6 C: 9 E...

Hey everyone. I wired up one of the new rotary order switches and in one position it works fine, but in the other it completely kills the sound, even when in bypass. I used an alpha 4p3t, double checked the wiring any everything looks correct, the limiting washer is in the second position. So...

Hey everyone. A friend is asking for me to add a buffered clean blend to @Chuck D. Bones bass klon (which i highly recommend even on guitar). Since it uses different bypass wiring I was wondering how i would connect it? I'm not sure which lugs are in, out, etc Thanks!

I'm trying to add an active treble control to an Expandora but when I do and turn the tone knob fully CCW it kills the sound and gets almost gated. There's no other modifications made to the pedal at this time. Position of the treble knob doesn't seem to change anything. I'm using the same...

I'm curious what is the benefit of using the newly added rotary order switch vs the old 3pdt one? Thanks!

Hey ya'll i have a quick question about gain wiring and adjusting the minimum gain. I'm loving the expandora, but i don't like how when the gain is at 0 the effect volume goes to 0. So instead i want to essentially limit the gain knob so that fully CCW is equivalent to like 5% rotation of the...

I'm wanting to have a tremolo pedal where the rate can either be controlled by a preset knob or an expression pedal. Switchable by a footswitch. Does this wiring look correct to you? Thanks!

I build a warden for a friend and he's having some weird issues. It seems to work fine if he's playing regularly, but times where there's a lot of space in between notes or after taking a break he gets this issue: "If I stop playing for a bit while the pedal is on, the initial attack of the...

Maybe sort of how the Boss OC-3 can only effect lower strings if you want. Can you do something similar with gain? So maybe i want my higher or lower notes to clip and distort a bit, but not the others? Just spitballing here. I've haven't built the pedal yet, but is the Dunwich - Volt Thrower...

If you look at the schematic for the punkifier it has a Buffer -> Split into 2 circuits -> Combined through a W-Taper ->Output buffer -> Rest of the circuit I'm obsessed using my OBNE Signal Blender. Plus the punkifier is a great underrated circuit. I would love to make a pedal where I combine...

It only happens on rotary positions 1-3. So i figured that the schematic might help narrow down what is going on. Only weird interaction is if i turn the pedal on when on the bad settings, then switch to the "working ones" it keeps oscillating/whining. If i turn on the pedal on any other...

For those that don't know apparently "HM2’s are designed to run on a Boss ACA Power Supply (12v instead of 9v) & so if you don’t use the right supply, they can sound pretty starved. The easiest way to get around this it to wither daisy chain it with another Boss pedal that IS standard 9v DC (PSA...

Do we have the schematic anywhere? I'm looking to lower the minimum gain of the pedal, since even with the gain at 0 it it breaks up a bit. Would love to be able to just reference the schematic before I try tracing and finding what resistors are in the feedback loop. Thanks!

I built the Reccurring Nightmare (Echo Dream) from FuzzDog. The modulation isn't working. I read that the 2206CP needs something like 12V to work. So I measured the charge volt pins Pin 1: 9.8v Pin 2: 5v Pin 3: 0v Pin 4: 133.6 mv Pin 5: 344.8 mv Pin 6: 5v Pin 7: 6.5v Pin 8: 9.8v I may be...

Noob question. How can i calculate the range of frequencies that various EQ knobs (Treble, bass, tone, etc) hit. I know the frequency cutoff formula in a vacuum, but not in the context of a pedal. I have a friend asking about the Chela (Talons). I know you can usually just increase or decrease...
