    Magnetron Time Expression Pedal

    After reading more docs (again). It looks like the VCO reference voltage is 2.5v, so connecting it like I did in the 2nd example should work, I think. But place the 2k resistor on the sleeve side to help prevent over-voltage if someone plugs in a TS cable instead of TRS

    Magnetron Time Expression Pedal

    Same, that was my original plan (the first picture). But I was advised that it may break the LFO when plugging/unplugging the expression pedal. Wanted to get some other opinions. That design is also dependent on your EXP pedal having a 50k pot, some are 10k to 100k, the v_div is supposed to...

    Magnetron Time Expression Pedal

    Trying to add a way to control time with a expression pedal without it totally borking the LFO. So far I have 2 ideas how: 1) Switched jack to disconnect the time pot entirely. This one may mess things up if it disconnects anything entirely before re-connecting on the exp side. 2)Non...

    Wiring the leprechauns magic switch with switch PCB

    sweet, ill just wire the LED directly to the pins to avoid any issues, doesnt add too much extra mess inside

    Wiring the leprechauns magic switch with switch PCB

    Probably, but I already drilled the holes for 2 switches so /shrug

    Wiring the leprechauns magic switch with switch PCB

    I am wondering if you can wire the leprechauns magic switch using one of these breakout boards? As far as I understand wiring the 4 pads to IN -> far left (jack in) ->far right (jack out) -> OUT would work for switching, but for the LED could I wire led+ (A) to SW and led- (K) to GND? Or would...

    Creamery hi expansion issues

    Man, this pedal is just *weird*: it needs to be hot or it clips, the compression knob also changes gain so you have to fiddle with knobs to keep volume stable. Not sure if it's just my build, but it's weird. Sounds great, not sure if it's worth all the hassle. I suppose once it's dialed in to...

    That did it! Thanks much!

    Creamery hi expansion issues

    Tried this with a quick jumper held in place with clips, didn't do much to stop the clipping (first image). Would 1M from both pins in the 2nd pic do the pull down thing?

    Creamery hi expansion issues

    Quick question for you, does yours have a pretty bad pop when you turn it on? (especially at higher lvl). This is the first pedal I have had that does this to me. May just be DC leakage (in which case I believe I can use a 1M resistor from the input/output of the PCB (from the switch) to...

    Creamery Static

    At the very least when it's hot it sounds great! Now I gotta figure out why the 2nd one is constantly popping (I think the new solder I got is trash, there is something when I turn it on and move it around causing popping when it's turned on)

    Creamery hi expansion issues

    Yo, having the same issue (to a different degree in 2 different creamery builds). So far I have found that if level is high, the clipping problem goes away, or at least lessens (even if you lower volume elsewhere). Could be something with the jfet? As for my ICs, I am using NJM4558 (or NLM as...

    Here is a vid with what it's doin'. Only the highest quality upside-down phone footage here.

    Creamery Static

    I just finished a Creamery build, and am getting some static when Attack is high and Level is low (more when playing "hot"), could just be that the JFET likes to be hot in this pedal and one of those "that's just how it is" type things, but wanted a sanity check before I continue trying to...

    Abyss Rate LED possible?

    Coming back, so this method makes a pretty LED but absolutely DESTROYS the tone. Going to try attaching it to the LED anode instead later and will report back

    Bypass when on, mute when off

    That and figure out if it is "supposed to sound like that" lol. Seems like most settings do not much at all (for a guitar at least), but when you hit a sweet spot it sounds fantastic! Edit: Was my lazy rate LED mod, turns out attatching something to the thing that makes the tone is NOT a good...

    Bypass when on, mute when off

    Tried that, ended up replacing the pot and it worked. Probably just unlucky (or managed to break it) She done, now to finish the 2nd one so I have something to sell to recoup cost lol

    Bypass when on, mute when off

    Sorry, left lug looking at the bottom up (as if mounted in the box), should be lug 1?

    Bypass when on, mute when off

    Built one, used my synth as input. It gets signal up to the A100k, left lug works fine, no signal out of the right or middle. and that is no signal from the lugs themselves, not the solder point. Just a bad pot?
