Thanks for the TSC link. I had not seen that before. That visualization really helps (I think) me see what changes the circuit is making. I am much more visual so this could be a useful tool. I have a gig playing pit woodwinds for 'Frozen' in the next month so not much time to play with my bass...

Yeah, I have looked through Kit Rae's site. I have to admit that and the google sheet from Aion make my head spin a bit and point out my inadequacies in knowing circuits. But it also gives me a place to start my learning process. Below you can see where I took the Aion Halo kit and socketed all...

Thanks for that. I do not yet have a sound in my head that I am looking for since I am playing easy songs from all kinds of different genres while I am learning. Right now, I am mostly using Peterson strobe tuner, Keely compressor, T-Rex Quint octave, and a Donner Blues Drive. I figure that as...

Thanks for all the guidance. I have gotten distracted a bit int he past couple months, but have been doing a few things. 1) learning to solder. I made a bunch of electronics mods to one of my basses (new pickups, pots, switches, and wires). I also spent about 10 days with my brother helping set...

I started 3D printing in 1989. Seen just about everything. At the house I have had a Prusa Mini for ~5 years. Been a pretty decent hobby machine. On Wednesday unboxed my new Prusa MK4. From the time I carried ti to the basement, it was < 10 minutes before I was printing. It has been running...

Cool. Thanks for that. As I was reading about transistors, that looked like it would work in theory, but I did not know if that would really work or not. Will file it away for the next time.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback on the Halo. I was already looking at the Russian mod and having C6 and C8 at 47n. I did not look at C5 and C8, but I will see what other caps I have in my inventory and may simply put sockets in so that I can play with values there. The Adafruit board need 3.5-5v. That...

aboard -- a board? PCboard? breadboard? I see what you did there LOL Thanks so much. I bought the Aion Halo (Big Muff) full kit which will be next up on the workbench. I think I might be more excited to run my bari sax through this than my bass guitar.

The board is quite easy to learn and use. I first heard about it in one of Mark Rober's videos. There are also a lot of folks who use them for Halloween and cosplay sound effects. https://www.markroberbuildinstructions.com/courtesy-horn

I will take a look at the Daisy, but I think that is waayyyy ahead of my skill and need right now. Thanks for the link though. I am a 45+ year woodwind player who has become a big fan of The Warning and was inspired by their young bass player Alejandra Villarreal to buy and start learning bass...

I am using .wav file, so have a shorter delay than the .ogg file. The ramp up time does actually work in my advantage since the entire delay does make it an easily subdividable beat so I can trigger it as I play. This is one of the classic songs from the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1940. A real...

The Adafruit board will not trigger the output until the button has been pressed for ~125ms. The sound file itself has about 80ms of lead in and ramp up time before the bell fully rings. So ~200ms before the full bell sounds. Pennsylvania 6-5000 tempo is about 140bpm (or ~425ms per beat). Which...

My first time trying to make anything foot activated that fits in an effects box. A bit different than the guitar effects you all are building, but thought you might find this interesting. I am using pedal as an excuse to learn microelectronics and circuitry (and other associated skills like...

I did run across Musikding, but getting their materials to the States made it lower on my priority list. I do have them bookmarked however just in case. Thanks.

Thanks, I sure will. I have a couple other projects to get off my plate before I tackle this (and I need more solder practice), but will let you know how it goes. I appreciate the help.

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions all. I went back and looked at the AionFX page and changed my mind. Just ordered the Halo (Big Muff clone) from Aion. Looking forward to it getting here and getting started building.

Kind of what I was thinking too. Any reason I could not do that build, but just put it in a bigger box? Or have I not found a Russian muff kit in a bigger box?
