Is there a schem for the microblend and would this work for blending pickups in a jazz bass?

I wound a single pole pup for a cbg using a hand drill once🤣.

If nothing else you could maybe look at the schematic of the Tatiana and see how it separates the loop OR figure out how to break the feedback part of the loop to get the functionality you are looking for

Look at the DEFX Tatiana. It has an overall bypass but the loop is activated by a momentary switch so so long as you have the pedal on, but don’t press the momentary, the pedal in the loop remains “in the chain.

I seem to still be building random things for some reason. As in all things some are winners, some are Losers, some are cool but will never make it out of my noise cave. First up is the AionFx Redshift a Blackout Effectors Whetstone phaser clone. I remember seeing one of these in a local guitar...

Very classy build and love the hammertone. Good job keeping the wiring tidy. VFE boards are challenging for sure, but well worth the tones in the end. VFE knows how to tweak a circuit.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I forgot that I had seen you around these parts recently.

Maybe I will just throw a 100nf 220nf or 1uf there since I have those on hand

Ordering parts for a Lumitron and just need a gut check on this rather odd value mlcc (C15 470nf) called for in the power section Is that extra (and seemingly negligible) capacitance really necessary when it is in parallel with the 10uf electro? Does the nature of an mlcc offer some superior...

Def do your value checks, reflow solder joints even if you think they don’t need it, and get some continuity checks on those switches. I know it might not be a popular way of doing things since it requires a rather large washer, but for those alpha 3pdt rotaries I actually drill the hole to...

Had a minute to record an unapologetically shitty demo…..enjoy? Telecaster bridge pup into Epiphone Pathfinder. Moo-tron, then SWAH, then BassBalls, then finally the Slow Gear. You can catch some decay flutter even on the SWAH, again, a compressor in front can mitigate some of that.

I just ran through some settings on my recently completed Moo-tron and I can confirm that there is some decay flutter in mine as well, but I think that is just inherent behavior for some EFs. I know my Procrastinator does this too. Try putting a compressor in front of the moo-tron. I did compare...

Envelope filters can be very setting dependent especially when flipping from an up to down filter. What works in one will get you little in the other. Also, make sure you are setting the sweep knob to ab noon since that affects the response of the vactrols. Other than that, make sure your...

Good suggestion. The Lumitron/MiniMu/Mootron all use a vactrol of one sort or another, but could def sub in something

Was approached today by an acquaintance asking if it would be possible to make a Mu-Tron III based pedal that could be switched at will between EF and wah (with the use of an expression pedal). He wants his board real estate and cake too. Thinking on it my plan would be to (somehow) put the LDRs...

The Obsidious is a freaking amazing bass drive. Dark glass gives much love to the low end. You should check out the Binary project over at AionFx, it combines the OD of the Obsidius with a square wave fuzz on a blend pot so you can get a mix of both as well as a clean blend. @Robert yes please...

See my first post. The only reason I suggested paying attention to the wavelength is because a yellow LED is being used as the driver and you will get the most out of whatever range the LDR has if you match the wavelength.

If you pull a data sheet from Mouser or Tayda for a particular LDR it should give the wavelength response

Looks like it’s not particularly important which LDR you choose, but my suggestion would be to look for one that responds best to the wavelength of a yellow LED. The range of the LDR will simply affect the depth of the wobbles. Greater range = more wobble. I know real scientific explanation🥴
