That's true. I will breadboard this one of these days when my brain is less full.
I converted this to be powered by 9v (with a charge pump) and made it true bypass. These are huge improvements but it needs more work.
I suppose if I do the buffer only it wouldn't be that big a job on the...
What are your thoughts on these preamp changes? I asked for tips to improve this in a facebook group.
"I'll suggest the following changes to the AP-2 preamp/mixer:
Move the top of R2 from Q1 collector to Q2 collector.
Increase value of R2 to 100k
Increase value of C3 to 100uF.
This changes the...
Any suggestions to improve the input buffer?
I’ve got o e of these and the phasing is fantastic but that buffer is dogshit. True bypass is a must but even still I’m trying to think oh how to improve it.
This might be a silly question, but how much do transistors matter in the univibe?
I've built a few but always used 2088s. Could I use 2n2904s or really NPN here?
My 5088s have about 800hfe that seems high compared to what you are quoting here.
Thanks for your comment. I will try this and see how it goes.
Do you have any feedback on whether a small resistor separating the power source of each is worth doing as well?
Thanks. Did you do anything within the schematic to keep the power separate, other than making the boards separate?
I followed a similar route to you, building the vibe and a fuzz on competent separating boards, however the lfo interferes with the fuzz when the vice is off
I tried usuing small value resistors to separate each pedal's power, however this didn't really help. It works fine with a separate power source of course.
I was hoping the brains here had a way to semi isolate the pedals.
just built a Univibe based off the Electrovibe with Bug Monk mods and it sounds absolutely fantastic. However I want to make this a 2 in 1 pedal in the same enclosure and power source as a Super Fuzz.
This works in theory however the lfo from the Univibe affects the super fuzz even when it’s...
Well done, I'm really impressed.
I agree, a king of tone and univibe are the perfect combination, i pair them both all the time.
What enclosure is that? I really like the finish.
