LY-ROCK Tone Monster - (clone?) DSM & Humboldt Simplifier

grin

Member
Hello. I have a subject. I tried how it sounds. I also took it apart. I took a few photos.
The Humboldt Simplifier has been mentioned several times here on the forum. But it is unclear whether there will be a continuation.
This is definitely a very interesting device.

My Connection:
Les Paul Epi studio LT ---> Nux Cerberus ---> LY-ROCK Tone Monster ---> Headphones Sennheiser P-100 or PA (DIY amplifier on TDA7377 speakers JBL control 1) or Blackstar Fly3.
I'm not at home, on the road, it happened... so I don't have a good amplifier nearby, only Blackstar Fly3, but the sound is excellent.

I liked the sound. It's hard to tear yourself away from the game. ))
It is a little noisy, I tried to power it from batteries - the noise was within normal limits.
The left and right channels on the headphone output are reversed )
Takes the pedals very well!
I expected to see mosfets, but...

I took the photo hastily, maybe I can make it even better.
I hope this is interesting to someone. )))
Sory my bad inglish.

That looks much closer to the original than a lot of the Asian clones.

A bit odd that they decided to sand off the part numbers in the clone, but not the original.

Schematic (not complete) available here
I know that the first versions were not very successful. I wonder what errors Dsmnoisemaker is talking about there?
Is it possible to do this on mine? That is, make corrections. I would do it.
 
That pic is a couple years old.

I'll have to hunt down the pedal, I still have it here somewhere... most likely still disassembled. :ROFLMAO:

in foto V2.01 - Is this the latest version? I wonder what the latest version is?
Can I hardcore mod mine to the latest version?
