What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Silvertone amp case, case-amp, thing. It’s going to need a new tremolo tube socket and someone cut out the trem cap that should be right in the middle of the 4 pots basically. Pots are dated 1965 I think.


And I’m not plugging this in until I put in a three-pronger.

Think that falls into the "Widowmaker" category

Totally. That bog big ol’ death cap is there just taunting me

Bet the fuse is blown and the plug smells of bacon.

I love this thing. Did it come with the schematic? I wish that was still the way.

As far as I know, it doesn’t have the schematic and manual, but that would be cool. I might print it out on some card stock and throw it in!

What's the one knob? A clean blend?

Threshold, ratio and make-up gain, all (hopefully) coordinated. Same as dbx163.

Is this different than the 4316 circuit?

HPF/PEQ board that I tabled in disgust 2 1/2 years ago. Took all afternoon, but I seem to have met all my design goals now and will need to recalibrate expectations and see how much else may be left in the tank. I'm stoked to be done with DIP converters , and if I do any more bass amp builds they'll be much cleaner looking for sure. There's also a daughtercard to bump up 9VDC to +/-15VDC, so dropping one of these things in a new EQ pedal will be happening chop chop.

Finished up the Tri-vibe (and cat hair instantly took it over). The drilling was too high, the output cable tip is literally touching an electrolytic cap, but very slightly, so it seems to be fine. Not great, though.

Pedal itself is pretty nice! Simple, but nice. Short demo clip:

Love that artwork!

Yesterday bought and changed new preamp tubes for my amp. Now V1 is JJ 5751, V2 and PI are JJ E83CC. What a refreshment soundwise and completely took away my GAS towards a new guitar. I do not need it, I just need to go and play!

Have you seen the Silvertone 1457 Schematic/Manual yet? And this page is also related.

This is a strange concept to me. Why should I play when I can just keep getting new stuff?

Is this different than the 4316 circuit?

You mean this one? Mine is mostly based on it, with some differences to reduce power (I got it down to 1.4mA total current draw). I also did not implement the NLC circuit from that paper because to my ears it sounded better without it (with a bass as a source, not a full mix).

Most of other pushers are addicted too, you know… Take as needed for pain?

Yeah, we'd talked about that one. I'm interested if this comp is the same circuit you developed using the 4316 or if this is something different.

Because Im probably better with a shovel than I am a soldering iron or a guitar…

For my wife's 50th , I'm helping her build something . Might be a composter ... we'll see.

I have a bad habit of not playing guitar when the family is home even though my boys are usually on headphones. Feels like I’m bothering them. So this summer with school being out I’m building pedals. Here is my progress on a Phase II this evening.

I have that manual, but haven’t seen that other page. That’s cool!!
