Unicab

I will be using it for recording guitar direct, as an alternative (or in addition to) to micing an amp. It will be last in the chain before the audio interface. So for me, it is not really an effect pedal, it is a recording module. Prior to this i had an old digital multi effect unit with preset amp simulators.

Can also be used for playing into headphones assuming some kind of headphone amp.

Sounds great. I assembled this as an always-on pedal. I had to economize on the control labeling (e.g., think of a 4 letter word for "punch"), due to real estate constraints. The artwork has that DIY look for sure. :)

Could you tell me what kind of capacitors those are (the orange ones)? I am asking because I am still wrapping my head around the various kinds that exist. I just built a Unicab with all box film style caps, because I just read on the internet that they are cool (LOL), and I am curious about what is behind your cap choice. Thank you.

P.S the graphics look fantastic.

Those are film caps too, just epoxy dipped as opposed to box type construction. They do the same thing.
 
Yes, these are the "orange drop" style capacitors, those are the ones I sourced, since I am familiar with them. I have used the same style on tube amp projects. As you can see, they need a little more room, so they look a little physically oversize. I realize these are less aesthetic than the box type caps. The sound is good though. :)
 
Hello guys, I have a question about the Unicab: I just assembled the kit from Musikding, it works quite fine, but I thought the Hi-knob would work as an LPF, instead it seems to work like a normal high-eq-knob. Is it supossed to work that way?
 
It’s based on the DSM Omnicab Sim (i can’t confirm if it’s the exact identical circuit, but it should at least be very close).

as such the manual for the omnicab sim is helpful for understanding the controls. See bottom of this page.
