What's on the workbench?

[Chuck D. Bones]

Dying to see what all the hype is about. JHS put a mini version of the WC in their PackRat pedal.

You've just reached your prime, I don't think any pedal is worth Dying for!!!

Is there any ETA for the Rototron?

[temol]

Sigh...

 

[Robert]

Is there any ETA for the Rototron?

No ETA, I haven't started tracing that one yet. It's opened up on the bench but there are quite a few in front of it.

Any update on this guy?

Could you please take measurements of the enclosure and post it somewhere here?
Width, length, length of the flat and angled areas, approximate radius of the rear curved edge.

bump..

What's with all the ICs?

 

[Robert]

Charge pump, regulator, and microcontroller for switching.

 

[Robert]

Yep.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Right, because what compliments an old-school fuzz better than a microcontroller?

Two microcontrollers?

It's a nice sounding fuzz, microcontroller or not.

You're just going to plug it into a modeling amp anyway, simmer down boomer.

(I kid, I kid)


Boy oh boy is it your lucky day! Step right up, let me tell you, the PedalPCB Siamese Contortionist will NOT have any newfangled computer-controlled relay bypass integrated into the PCB.

Did you get a chance to crack the Holdsworth OD open yet? I’m curious as to if it’s a fairly novel circuit or just derivative of something else (please don’t say YATS)!

 

[Robert]

Yeah it's traced and gone. I'm glad you reminded me, I forgot all about it.

 

[Robert]

To be fair, the Tone Bender came out in what, 1965? The first microcontroller was created in the early 70s?

We're talking 6 whole years of innovation here. Microcontrollers ain't that much newer than fuzz.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Schematic please.

 

[Robert]

I just took the back off, still got a couple more on my desk ahead of it.
