Here’s a Wah probe work alike. Thought this would be a fun build. Someone gave it a good review over at DIYStompboxes so I etched up two boards. just got the parts in the mail and soldered the last parts into the board last night. Here’s a picture of the populated board. This still needs…
I found some good information on trimming the N570 to help remove unwanted distortion. The chip contains to two identical sections which are mirrored on either side. Pin 3 and 14 provide an input for a control voltage for the gain cells. Pin 8 and 9 provide a distortion trim fro the gain cells. Not…
This is the Tremolo-Matic X from Stompboxology. I’m in the process of building this for “Jonny” who I met at the last DIY Swap meet. He gave me this box to put it in.This project is coming together nicely.
Here’s an Ugly Face I built. I used PnP for the design on top. The transfer was a imperfect. But mostly worked. I’d really like to find a reliable toner transfer that works on these metal boxes.
Here’s the current projects. Two Echo Base and two Casualty 4 Phaser shifters.
I found these old school layouts by Andy. These look like fun to build the layouts just scream mojo. I think I will have to etch a few of these up and build them with carbon comp resistors and ceramic caps! Andy aka “Dragonfly” posted like mad on the DIYStompbox forum for several years and…
Looks like one of my Ugly Face’s made it into the “Art of the Stompbox” exhibit at the Museum of Making Music in San Diego. http://www.flickr.com/photos/museumofmakingmusic/page3/ http://www.museumofmakingmusic.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=282&Itemid=41
Wow, you must take a look at this site. These are the most amazing applets. http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-index.html
Here’s my take on the SHO. With crackle free knob. Adjust the value of C3 to create a range boost.
I’ve playing around with the 386 Audio Amplifier. This is a really great chip. It has a lot of possibilities. Looking at all of the great circuits that use this I’ve noticed there are many different ways to set the gain. Gain is set using pins 1 and 8. With these two pins open the…
Bay Area DIYer’s should make it to the DIY Swap meet on Feb 21 at 924 Gilman St in Berkley CA. For more info: http://www.euthymia.org/ The first three were a great time lot’s people with lot’s of stuff. Anyone from the should meet up with me. I’ll try and wear my DIY Stompboxes t-shirt.
