This is a first draft of an idea that I have been thinking about for a few months. It’s a Tremolo that pans between the input signal and the signal coming through the FX Loop. If no signal is coming in to the FX Loop it would act as a normal Tremolo. Otherwise it would…
This is Tremolo-Matic X from the Tremolo Issue of Stompboxology by Nicolas Boscorelli. I have redrawn the schematic to make it easier to read. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone attempting this project. This is Tremolo that pans between a treble and bass signal. It inlcudes controls to set the level for both the…
This is the Ring Modu-Matic from Stompboxology. I redrew everything in Eagle PCB. This is an interesting design. It seems to use several different supply voltages. There is a +9v, +4.5v and +5v, +2.5v,
Here’s an idea I have been wanting to try in a stompbox. Small Bear carries post with long leads that can be used to mount the pot to PCB. I thought these might be good for mounting a board inside an enclosure. This is a clone of everyone’s favorite 5 knob fuzz. This seemed to…
Here’s an idea to get rid of ticking in your 555 circuits. This image was taken from the Commonsound Triwave.
Here’s my take on the Ugly Face/Crash Sync. I took my favorite parts of both and a few suggestions from RunOffGroove and the DIYStompboxes forum. This version uses a different input buffer, which more closely resembles the input of the Crash Sync. Though it has a greater gain. I found this gave more sustain. The…
I had been wanting to build Craig Anderton’s graphic fuzz. But I had never gotten around to it. Though I did find an old 10 band EQ on the street that I thought would make a home for that project. Lately the idea had struck me to make a smaller version with two Tube Screamers.…
Here’s a layout for the MosFET boost. The drawing is pretty sloppy. But this shows the schematic and layout I used for my build. Seemed to work well. Here’s a link to a picture of my build. Here’s a link to the schematic on Muzique.com
I like the Tim Escobedo’s Ugly Face I’ve built about 7 now. This is a really fun pedal. Total Sonic Mayhem. Not for Jazz, though I’m hoping someone will take that as a challenge… Something that is not really a problem, but has always bothered me is the volume. The Ugly Face is extremely loud.…
Built Jack Orman’s Son of Screamer last night. Fired up the first time and sounds pretty good. I have not owned a Tube Screamer before. After building this I’m understanding the complaints about the “mid hump” in the sound. The sound is very focused in the mid range. There seem to be many mods for…
With a great idea from Brian Marshall of Subdecay I managed to get my 9V sample and Hold working. This ties Brian’s Sample and Hold to the Colorsound Wah. This works pretty good. The range of the effect could still use some adjustment.
Here’s a sound sample of the 9V Sample & Hold I have been working on. So far things are going pretty well. It’s based on an idea by Brian Marshall and the Color Sound Wah. 9V S&H Test Mp3
