    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    Thanks Chuck!! Its only that I was getting the impresión that in my build the treble gets a lot more fizzy than in the demos.. sometimes I have Saw that they put he control in the last quarter and the tone is not much trebly, and with single coils!!! I am using humbuckers... Could be a taper...

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    to all the people that have made this... its normal that the treble control gets very, very trebly in the upper half??, its unusable in that positions, which cap set the limit freq?? I dont know if i have soemthing wrong... in the videos in yt look like with the control up dont get fizzy at...

    Pyrocumulus - Sustain knob mostly effects tone last half of the sweep?

    Idlebeach, very nice build!! One question to you and all other people who built this pedal... did you measure the hfe of the bc549c did you use?? Thanks!!

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    Hello to all¡¡¡. The fuzz is working¡¡ Thanks for the help and responses¡¡¡¡.....the bias of q2 wasnt the problem, I resoldered again all the board and conections and voila¡¡ sound pretty good¡¡ ... two observations, there is noise with the gain up, i would say that there is too much noise, I...

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    Thanks Robert and Chuck¡¡ One question, with the r9 to 1 meg mod, what is achieved? the vc only up to 1,8 Sure its a bassy design, but its very easy to solve this, you can low the 0,1 caps between q1 and q2 to taste.....

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    Thanks for your answers, Jesúscrisp and Robert!! Ok, this the confirmation that I was looking for, this voltage is normal with this configuración, so I have to look elsewhere for the problem!!!

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    A transistor has to be biased, sometimes high or sometimes low, but It has to have a VC between 1-8v ( assuming 9vcc). The things is that bipolar are very consistent, nota like jfet, germanium etc so if you built the circuit, the most probably is that the bias is right All the information i have...

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    Thanks comradehoser¡¡ yes, the pyrocumulus its based on thorpyfx fallout, but in the fallout, the three first stages are exactly like the dice work muff diver.. Have you checked the voltages of the transistors? I would like to have a reference. Mine dont sound ok, it have very low volume and...

    Pyrocumulus fuzz biasing

    Hello to all, I built the pyrocumulus fuzz, but I have a litle problem here, the vc in q2 ( or q3, the second stage from the input) is low, like 1,2 v, isnt in line with the usual 4,5v. The rest of the stages are properly biased at 4,5v. This circuit is directly "inspired" by the dice works muff...

    SOLVED Aphrodite Overdrive... Anyone built yet?

    I am so glad that this have worked!!! Fizz gone?? Wow...I wonder what was happening when this cap were between rails. Why you dont try the trick of the resistor on the pot?? Before this try to put a buffered Signal on the input of this pedal ( Boss pedal in bypass..etc) to see if the squeal is a...

    SOLVED Aphrodite Overdrive... Anyone built yet?

    There is a mistake on the 7660, between the pin 5 and 8 there is a 100n CAP, It has to be between pin 5 and ground, its the CAP that is parallel to the 100uf CAP (yes, you are right its far away in the tl072 negative input) Also i would remove the 2m2 resistor in the input , its mangling the...

    Have you look at the schematic? I think I saw several mistakes in the vero layout, the -v don t have the 100uf filter and other things..

    SOLVED Aphrodite Overdrive... Anyone built yet?

    Sorry to hear that¡¡¡ When you say that it was sounding worse than before, you are talking about noise? or tone? if its tone its weird, you are using the same values...The funny thing is that I bit the bullet and I am building this vero too¡¡¡:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I like very much the tone on the...

    SOLVED Aphrodite Overdrive... Anyone built yet?

    With veroboard layouts I always notice that there are strips that are longer than necesary and this can bring feedback-squealing-impedance issues. A good practice is to do cuts where applicable to isolate parts of the circuit.. ex. a strip with a input signal that goes all the way the board...

    SOLVED Aphrodite Overdrive... Anyone built yet?

    And the fizz you were hearing?? By fizz , you mean an excess of treble??. seeing The demos of this pedal, I fell that there certain crispness in the tone of the pedal, I dont know if this is what you are hearing... What diodes you were using the first time?? 0,62 vf is the goal, reading the...

    In the bom says S1V 0'62v... I dont know what s1v is. 1n4148 is 0'68 vf, It looks that even closer It would be the 1n414 that has a vf of 0'62, but i dont know if this tolerances are relevant

    Thanks!! There arent build docs in the page of the aphrodite, but I found a txt with the bom in the missing docs thread, only says for the diodes 0'6 v.

    [PedalPCB] Chicken Lover

    Ok, thanks for your answers. Which voltages the diodes are? I am afraid that I only have access to the usual Silicon and germanium diodes...1n914, 4148, 1N0001, 1n34, 1n270, 1n60, 5817, bat41... Is this a dealbreaker?? Which do you think that of this diodes is the more similar?? Thanks for...

    Hello to all, I am new here, and I would like to order a PCB of the aphrodite, the reason is that I like very much the demos i heard on yt. To me its sound like a klon but with more gain and bite, I am right?? This is what i liked, the more muscular and agressive sound.. Szukalski, does your...
