Would baking the impedance curve into an IR using something like the Cabinetron and using that after a preamp be any different from building a Baja Reactor? At least while the PAE-1/2 are still on the pedalpcb Wish List.

@vires I have stuck a 47pF cap into pins 1 and 2 of the IC4 socket and I confirm -- this pedal now works! I can adjust everything and it sounds pretty right on. I need to spend more time with the trimmers now. I commend you on your persistence, truly. The only white noise I have now is when...

I swapped my IC4 from a 4558D to a TL072 and it just made the noise at the output louder :) IC1 (TL072) Pin 7: No noise IC2 (V571D) Pin 6: No noise IC2 (V571D) Pin 7: Woosh-woosh noise IC2 (V571D) Pin 14,15: Loud squeaky noise By turning the GAIN2 knob down, the noise at IC2 pins 7, 14, 15...

Does this help? Probing pins 10-11 of IC7. First with GAIN2 at middle, then at 9:00. The audio is from the pedal output.

@rurEEE thank you so much for chiming in with your experience. Ok, going through the Calibration by ear procedure from madbean's build doc I get the following. When playing a note I hear it loud and clear. Once the note starts dying down, white noise starts coming in louder and louder. If I...

I had a chat with @vires, and it seems like we have different MN3005 chips: mine are Xvive from stompboxparts and vires' are supposedly original from an ebay seller. I think we can rule out: faulty MN3005s (since ours are different manufacturers with the exact same problem) my relay bypass...

Just to make sure we’re on the same page: I’ll reiterate that the video is a recording of TP2 sound, and not the output of the pedal. The pedal’s output doesn’t have this noise, but I can’t calibrate it: there are very audible artifacts most of the time. I can record the whole calibration...

Hey everyone, I am glad this thread is gaining traction. I have removed the 555 bypass: Here is a video of TP2 with no input as I adjust the Delay knob. You might have to turn it up a bit: At a loss of where to go from here :(

Unfortunately, haven't had a chance to touch it yet. But some thoughts: I have the second MN3005 from this build that I'm planning to try and swap it in. It is of course from the same supplier (StompBoxParts). Will do, but the IC voltages don't show any unwanted bridges, I don't think. The...

Hey there :) The problem Having been thoroughly enjoying Dan's DM-3 project, I've decided to try to tackle the legendary DMM in the form of MadBean's Total Recall. But even though I can get all the knobs to work as intended (there is delay with a mix from none to full wet, the repeats go from 1...

Thanks for the cool project, @vigilante398 ! Have you tried running clean preamps like this with submini tubes, e.g. 6n16b and 6n17b? If so, have you noticed any sonic difference compared to a 12ax7?

How sturdy do you find these enclosures? Is there any give when stomping or can they handle the weight?

I guess this is turning into a philosophical question. For completeness, here is what the author of this circuit had to say in an fsb thread: Back to @psb962 's question about the hiss/random popping... Have you tried jiggling the wires & components with a pencil while connected to guitar &...

I don't understand the need to select j201s based on idss value seeing as how you are using the trimmers to bias the jfets. Selection is critical when the biasing resistors are fixed (like in fairfield's production run), but not when you're biasing with trimmers. Let me know if I'm wrong :)

So for anybody else that will be looking for solutions to a motorboating Nobleman... Madbeanpedals Laureate (ODR-1 clone) build docs have this to say: AionFx Andromeda (ODR-1 clone) Legacy version build docs about adding an addition 47uF cap to the Vref line: In the current version of...

Oh, I tried adding an additional 47uf between GND and Vref as mentioned by Robert in this post and indeed it seems to fix the oscillation at max vol and gain for me. Edit: but why do some builds have this issue and others don't? What other variables are at play?

I also have this oscillation issue with the volume and gain pots close to max (when there's no or low signal coming from the guitar). Plus I hear this oscillation (albeit a lot quieter) when playing dissonant bendy intervals at lower volume and gain levels as well... I wonder if anyone has any...

Is there a BOM or schematic available for the Skeptical Buffer? I’d like to add the necessary components to a Tayda order…

Too bad there still isn't a 5-knob schematic available. Does powering these types of pedals from 18v require rebiasing of the BC108 and 2N5457?

Also I guess I’m stupid but can you point me to how you’re getting the 6v for the heaters?
