Anybody got a schematic?

They got a little sticker in their pedals politely asking not to.

Now I just wanna buy one and trace it even more.

Don't go nicely asking me to not do stuff. Jerks.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

If they don't want people to trace their shit, they should run a soldering iron over the tops of their capacitors.

 

[Robert]

I didn't see that sticker in the Shigeharu....

Dang it Chuck just post in the Wish List like everyone else.


I kid... ......Incoming.

I had a MKI on my board for a very long time, the MKII was a different beast and not the hose beast I prefer.

 

[Robert]

I was just about to ask... MKI or MKII?

Both? Right.

 

[jjjimi84]

I know a MKI board is dropping in my cart right away. Going to put that insanity toggle on a momentary switch and get fucking weird in the video.

If I remember it is a rat variant, right?

 

[Robert]

Yeah my understanding is that it's a Rat with Ruetz mod and some sort of feedback loop.

Oh nice, you’ll get a chance to play a Rat!

 

[Robert]

I have a Rat, I just haven't used one enough to instantly recognize it. (that other one did turn out to be a Rat for the most part)

I think I must have had a bad experience with one waaaay back many years ago. I always expect them to sound thin and brittle but am always surprised.

 

[benny_profane]

I know you know the Rat. (I can’t imagine there are many pedals you don’t know.) I wonder what gave you the bad impression. I suppose the filter can get rather thin—but there’s a lot of range with that control.

 

[Robert]

It could have been a subpar amp at the time, a defective unit, or possibly just completely mistaken.

I have an original Pro Co and have seen quite a few derivates, they've all been perfectly acceptable.

Hey - hope this helps clear things up. Wave Cannon 1 is more Rat based, Wave Cannon 2 is more of a hybrid Shredmaster & SD-9 but with better low gain sounds and more beef in the mids available.​

Wave Cannon 1 is discontinued so there is no conflict is there??????

DOD OD-250/ Proco Rat style frame: single op-amp pushed really hard, hard clipping to ground, and a discrete transistor buffer between the tone and volume control. We incorporated a variation of a known mod to these kinds of pedals courtesy of Phillip Ruetz that we called the Shape control (named that way because I once saw the actual shape of some treble frequencies I played go from square to sine as we changed the values), and added the feedback loop we called the Havoc control after I did it by accident on the breadboard

 

[jimilee]

Interesting, so a ruetz mod knob and a feedback loop control of some sort. Like maybe a switch to add or remove diodes in the feedback loop?

 

[chongmagic]

I have met Phillipe several times, he seems like a nice guy. I remember the sticker in my Shigeharu, I believe I sent it to you Bugg to be traced. Didn't keep it long afterwards.

 

[Robert]

I remember the sticker in my Shigeharu

I stand corrected.

 

[music6000]

Anybody got a schematic?

Which one are you interested in, V1 or V2?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Both, I guess. I have a friend's PackRat and I'm trying to figure out if I like the so-called Wave Cannon option JHS put in there. That's most likely based on Mk I since everything else inside is a Rat derivative.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

I didn't mean to upset you Dave, I was simply saying in a humorous way thru digital media that I do not infact have the schematic. I have shamed my family and now must die honorably like the samurai.

Not upset. Disappointed maybe. We can forgo the seppuku, this time.
