From what i can remember, there were 2 of them, both were wrong. I managed to temporarily fix it with the paper trick, i cant say for sure which led was on the BBD board at that time. what do you mean by "more diffuse" ? You should be able to tell if your BBD led is too bright, it will mess...

From my experience it will work, but you will have issues. like a narrow spot on the Manual control (last quarter of rotation) where the modulation is noticeable, and gaps at the highest end of the sweep, where the modulation briefly disappears.

according to the build doc there are a few different led that can do the job, so one of those can be right. Doesnt look like the ones i got though. I would try to send an email to Klaus with your picture, asking which one is the BBD led. That way you will clarify any doubts. In the meantime, i'd...

looks like it's supposed to be green glass and read around 2V on diode test, according to mouser. So the picture is wrong.

it's been almost 2 years so i could be wrong, i think the first BBD led they sent was different than the 3 other green leds, im not sure about the color. It's possible there were 2 extra led in the kit. i can remember trying a blue one with uncolored glass, and another with a different shade of...

i'd try to check with the DMM, see if one of them isn't showing the same value as the others in my kit one of the leds was a bit different with transparent glass, i had to turn it on to see it was green. The others were regular green led. But the BBD led was a wrong match anyway, they sent me...

I started building stompboxes in 2020, so i didn't have time to create a real Nemesis yet. Worst cases so far are : - Aion's Neurotron (Lovetone Ring Stinger), a big ring modulator circuit. One of the 4 waveforms wasn't working correctly. I tried my best to find the issue but it was really...

Not sure the MT10 is the best suited circuit for diode experimentation, the original diode clipping setup is very good as it is. From what i understood about this circuit, its strongest points are the diode clipping design similar to the Timmy, and the 3-bands EQ. I also tried various diode...

I just tried it and it does some very good small room kind of reverb, but it can't do more than one repeat, so i guess any slap back delay will do the same effect.

I guess for the average diy builder, it's near impossible to use really good audio chips like the one we can find in factory stompboxes. From what i have seen so far, the usual digital path is FV-1, and it's very limited compared to what some other ICs can do. FV-1 is affordable, simple to use...

Im curently using PPCB Gravitation, Belton brick based, which is three PT2399 packed into one small part, if i understood correctly. Gravitation does its job, i like to cut some highs and aim for some dark reverb tones and the Gravitation controls allows that. But im not sure im fully pleased...

i find it quite interesting, but the grunt switch doesn't have much impact on the sound compared to a bass. On a bass amp it works great, some dark and yet precise sounds, but the bk3 can only go at the edges of distortion with the gain and blend fully CW. It's not a distortion, and i think...

Nice build ! I also tried to dial some EQ settings on the Empyrean's tight channel to emulate an original Bk3, i couldnt even get close to the Bk3. Despite the design similarities, they really sound different. The Bk3 (with grunt and mid-boost switched on) has some kind of amp-sim or cab-sim...

Thanks for your suggestions ! I would be curious to hear the results of these changes, but with 5 extra parts i wouldn't be able to switch back to the stock version. There isn't much room left in the enclosure, not enough for some big toggleswitch. I guess i could leave the first pair of...

Audioprobe test shows that the raw distortion channel is A, with IC3. I tried adding a toggleswitch with diodes between IC3 pin 6 and 7, but i couldn't hear any change. I guess i would need to lift that pin 6 out of its socket, but i'm not comfortable with this. So i lifted the MOD pot leg 3...

Nice build ! The Meridian is an always-on tool for me. I tried other compressors, but this circuit does everything i need and more. Even if i like my pickups, i still often try various EQ settings with the Meridian on bass, guitars, synth, drum machines, etc. Compared to a GE-7 these Color and...

i noticed Brett shows in the video (10:35') how the master volume affects the gain in its own way. On schematics i dont see anything that could explain it, the volume pot is just before the output jack ?

looks to me that the gain knob is turned up to 11 o'clock on the SVT, a nice $2000 amplifier head. Any circuit would sound great with that thing... The rusty box is just acting like a booster in this video. He's not trying to emulate the Traynor sound at all. Maybe you can try to connect your...

nice build ! On this circuit i spent lot of time trying various IC combinations, because we can really hear a difference if we use other op-amps. It really changes the gain texture and the range of action in the first half of the gain pot rotation. TL71 is my favorite for the single op-amp IC...
