Can I use these chips in pedals?

[HamishR]

A friend recently gave me a bunch of ICs in case I can use them. I have no idea where they came from! They are:

F 4069UBDC
9667
74LS37PC
772TC
CD4511
411GR
HEF4040BP
NE504SN
CD4011
HEF4051BP
LM348N
4030BPC

Are any of these useful for anything?

The 4069 can be used in a bleep bloop waveform generator:

CMOS multi-waveform generator

Anyone who has done any considerable amount of repairs and troubleshooting knows the importance of having a signal generator. For audio circuits, at least in my experience, this doesn't need to have particular requirements, neither in terms of frequency precision nor distortion, as long as it...

The 4011 rings a bell, I have one as well but can't remember what for..

 

[HamishR]

Pretty sure it's a wide comb hex inverter.

I don't have time to look them up, but you can with this handy page right here:

LM348N is a quad op amp with standard pinout. Maybe a DOD 250, Phase 90?

Potentially the following, but double-check datasheets for compatibility:


F 4069UBDC (CD4069UB?)
Aion Beta Pre (Sunn Beta)
Parasit 8Bitar & Jed's Peds Bit 4069
Parasit Arcadiator
Parasit 0415 Guitar Synth
Parasit Corruptor
Parasit Eagle Claw fuzz
Parasit Into the Unknown
Parasit Multiwave Mega
Parasit New Wave CV Generator
Parasit Side Scroller
Parasit Subspace Transmission
Parasit Theremin Fuzz
Parasit XorCist

Madbean Tone Virus (PLL-synth EQD Data Corrupter)
Twin CMOS VCF
Tycobrahe pedalflanger

ALSO check out ROG's 4069 to 4049 adapter-dealio such as for Great Destroyer and other 4049UBE-based projects such as UBE-screamer


9667
Nothing I know of, but it comprises High Current/Voltage Darlington Drivers, which seemingly has potential.

74LS37PC
Again, no known pedal possibilities, but potential as it's a NAND Gate, quad 2-input positive NAND buffers by Fairchild

772TC
I drew a blank

CD4511
a BCD to 7-segment latch decoder driver IC formed with CMOS logic and NPN bipolar transistor output devices... This IC is used to drive common-cathode displays such as 7-segment display, low voltage fluorescent display, and incandescent display.
Maybe breadboard this and see if you can pass audio through it and see what comes out ( like Anderton and the 4049UBE ).

411GR
?
The 4116 resistor-array IC contains 8 resistors which are isolated from each other.
Vishay has a DG411 that's a "Precision Monolithic Quad SPST CMOS Analog Switch".
GPCB's Taptation board, JMK's Hamlet+ and many other circuits use a MCP41100 IC

HEF4040BP compatible with CD4040BE?
If it is then you could try it in the
PPCB Dirt Dauber
DBA Evil Robot
Parasit MW-Mega
Parasit King Corruptor
Parasit C19 Databus
DEFX Quint (MFC4040) [MAESTRO USS-1A MFX]


NE504SN
The only thing that came up was this thread

CD4011
Mu-Tron Octave Divider (BYOC Divided Octave)
Parasit C19 Databus Drive (Guitar Synth)
Parasit Corrupter (CMOS Ring Mod)
DIY Proximity Wah
Some DIY reverbs such as G. Forrest Cook's spring reverb
Haible Ulotrichorus
Lectric-FX Karaoke Chorus (Roland CE-1)
DEFX Larry (Mutron Flanger)
SCF TC Electronic


HEF4051BP (CD4051BCN)
Zeppelin Labs Altura Theremin MIDI controller
Parasit C19 Databus Driver guitar synth
Parasit King Corrupter ringmod sequencer
Pseudo Random LFO by RG Keen
Sea Moss (similar to RG Keen's LFO above)
CMOS Melody Generator w/ Oscillators (vero layout, not sure if PCB is available)

LM348N
AION Parhelion/Corona [BOSS OD-1]
PPCB Octarock
some Dumble in a box circuits?


4030BPC
nada afaik

WoW! Thanks Mr Feral. I did wonder if that 4069 might work for a Red Llama kinda pedal...

You've helped me out in the past, I try to reciprocate.

I just searched my HD for the ICs and when I didn't have anything come up, I then searched the Internet for what the heck the IC was meant for.

The ROG 4049>4069 thing is pretty cool, as it opens up so many circuits to the 4069 for a different sound.

ROG explains it better than I could hope to.


I've done the ROG socket kajiggery (pic of it in this old thread), but haven't actually used it yet.

 

[HamishR]

I'm quite tempted to try a Red Llama with this 4069. If I build it on Vero I can adjust the board. That might end up neater!

The LM348Ns might get some use too... Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

I love perusing the forums and even though this doesn't pertain to me at all, I just wanted to give props to @Feral for that incredible, detailed, and kind post. Just wow!
