Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
With 8 knobs and 3 switches I really didn’t need to keep the size of this one down, but it will fit in a 1590B if anyone is utterly insane :o) You can shave off another column if you solder D1 and D2 in the same hole and move the 1u cap over to the … Read more
Something weird to do with your extra PT2399s. From Casper Electronics : The Echo Bender is a mix of multi FX pedal and noise maker. It can process external signals like guitars, keyboards, mics and drum machines or it can create complex sounds on its own. It can function in several different stand alone modes: -Warm … Read more
I will add the updated version as well at some point, but I wanted to include the original version first because I haven’t seen a layout for it yet, and it’s a nice option for someone who wants a simple two knob delay pedal which will easily fit in a 1590B. Short description from the … Read more
Designed by culturejam on FSB and CW, this is what he wrote: Inspired by the Crap-Fi Delay by allesz, I decided to see if a similar simple circuit would work at lower delay times for reverb and slapback. It does. Once the basic circuit was up and running, earthtones helped me refine it and make … Read more
Update 10th September 2014: I had dropped this layout from the blog because there had been instances where people had been unable to get the IC, but more importantly I think there are other methods to do this now that are cheaper, much more compact and the kit comes with the required IC AND a … Read more
This is a layout for the Mid-Fi Electronics delay/fuzz/vibrato/modulation/unstable tape simulator/weird noise thing. Modified to include a switch to turn off the fuzz, leaving you with a clean weird noise thing :o) Geiri’s quick demo:
I thought the delay freaks may like this interesting alternative to the pristine digital delays that you see all the time. This was put together by allesz at freestompboxes, and below is his description of the circuit: “It is the results of my experiments with the ultra famous pt2399 chip. It is a simple circuit … Read more
Slightly modified to give you an overall volume control but if you want the standard unit, just swap the 5K1 Volume 1 resistor for a 12K and solder between IC1 pins 6 and 7. Again it’s small enough to fit in a 1590B with some careful measuring. Updated: Delay 1 connects to the PT2399 pin … Read more
