AH, gotcha. good shout. wanted to make sure you didn't do a ton of extra work and find out later.

if you haven't already considered it, the Caesar chorus has the blend mod built in. might save you some trouble

I had one of these requested a couple months ago. Now I can't remember if I flipped Q2 and Q3 or not. I know my transistors were super low gain soviet. maybe MP10, maybe MP38, I cant remember. It was in the same box going into a fuzz war and an interstellar overdriver. what I DO remember was...

What did our elementary school teachers teach us about not having anything nice to say? I asked for resources, not insults

the stuff BELOW and around the 80hz peak. there's a noticeable WOOMPH in that pedal, but even with more than 15dB of gain at ~80hz, it still sounds kinda thin. I'm being asked for a wall of sludge. i've breadboarded it with a full baxandall and sent over a clip. it was received well, i'd just...

Howdy I’m wondering if there’s an easier, smaller parts count approach to making a fixed gain low shelf eq, essentially a baxandall with the bass dimed. It’s going at the end of an HM-2 eq circuit to make up for the steep low end drop off. It never needs to be adjusted. Specifically a shelf...

hey chuck, just built this on vero with your mods and it sounds absolutely insane. that diode on the sweep control is HUGE. thank you for doing such thorough work on this thing. hats off.

it's mostly about the wording. calling my time worthless seems like negative self talk. instead i should consider reframing it as my time is being used for something positive. semantics. she was the one that called me being holed up in my house hunched over a soldering iron my version of meditating.

my therapist asks the same question i have an answer no one likes: my time is worthless. building pedals is an escape for me. all this time, energy, research, it is positive for my mental health. it's not keeping me from other things I need to do, I don't do anything else. I'm paying myself in...

I find myself in an interesting position, being the radical leftist pain in the ass who started selling pedals 2 years ago. I don't have the experience with parts and PCB manufacturing being dirt cheap. I have a full time job and don't rely on pedal sales to pay my bills. I work out of a one...

I highlighted the gain side because the clean side is understood and I can technically bypass it. Yes, I clipped that from the “spice runner” documentation. I’d also really like to see a spice somulation

I’ve built it. It’s cool. But that unfortunately didn’t lead to me understanding this hard clipping arrangement. The resistor and cap, what are they doing? I’ve never seen this before.

This can be mitigated by scaling the filter in the feedback loop. 560r and 4u7 can become 5.6k and 470nf, keeping the filter the same but lowering the gain. I actually do this to both filters and then use a 250k gain pot. All the “way too much” of the original, and now a low gain setting.

Working on a PWM style bass synth thing and I can’t seem to get enough clean boost into the input of the 40106 for it to register. If I crush it with distortion, it gets loud enough, but it’s messy. Currently I’ve got the amz my amp driving a 386 with 1 and 8 jumped and it is working, but it’s...

Volts DC

it is connected to the collector of Q2

ohhhh gotcha. it's worth noting that the bias control only affects Q2. any other drifting due to temperature inherent to germanium is just part of the charm. roses and their respective thorns.

Need? I guess technically never. But man is it a lot of fun. Changes the mids, changes the texture.

i've got a cheap orbital sander. i hit it with 60 grit first, then 220. if i'm painting, i'll just clean it up with some steel wool and then alcohol. if i'm keeping it metal, i'll wet sand with 400, 800, and polish with steel wool. i can't get the perfect mirror finish, but i'm also working out...
