Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
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
Yay February. Just 111 to beat this month Miro :o) I think I’m going to get a few questions about this one, although a look at the front of the Deluxe at the graphical links between switches and pots will probably give a good clue how this one works if you aren’t already familiar. A … Read more
We had some deficit on basic Devi circuits. I’m fully aware that these circuits are not for everyone, but i personally enjoy Devi’s amazing work a lot. To support her, you should most definitely think about getting kits (and why not production pedals) from her Etsy page. Her pricing is very appealing too…
I’ve always wanted to get more layouts with 7 rows of height 🙂
Newer, much much more complicated circuit has been around for years, but i thought i’d swoop up a layout for the simpler, older V1 version of the Experimentalists Anonymous Parallel Universe self-oscillating fuzz. So, noise freaks, here you go:
This one is definitely verified, but: The LFO section is *very* sensitive to both voltage and current, so if your board doesn’t fire up right away (which happened with my second build too), you should consider doing a little daughterboard with 9V regulator, 8V2 zener and a 10-50 trimmer to get the LFO going. That … Read more
When i started to draw layouts, i did draw something like 10 of vintage fuzzes that weren’t published on this blog earlier. I build most of them and that’s when i realized why they weren’t posted. Most of them are pure crap. For those who are after “that 60’s sound” – the ear piercing super … Read more
One for the Fuzzynoise-ophiles. Description of the original: The Soundwave Breakdown takes the idea of a screaming fuzz pedal and turns it inside out. It uses specially matched transistors turned backwards to get it’s bombastic sound. The one knob controls extreme biasing of one of the transistors and the other controls intense filtering. Although this … Read more
From a schematic on the Experimentalist Anonymous forum, this is what they wrote about it: This simple box realizes the common sample rate reduction effect in analog form. Sample rate reduction is essentially very low quality analog to digital conversion. A snapshot of the input signal is taken every so often and outputted. The effect … Read more
