As requested, version 2 of the Cave Dweller with all noted mods included. Info from Brian which can be found in the PDF linked in the version 1 thread Cave Dweller II (“Dub Ed.”) expands upon the underlying design of CDI , but adds an additional PT2399 for roughly twice the delay time. It also … Read more
Nice sounding mini delay, designed by Madbean to fit in a 1590A box, and after checking with Javi this layout should fit in one too :o). Tantalum caps or mini electros may be needed to keep things as compact as possible, and maybe a multi layer ceramic for the 1u. Info from Brian about his … Read more
Note that the C7 and the D2-D3 are not present on the original pedal. There are holes ready for those components. Adding C7 as 4n7-100nF cap will increase bass response and adding diode clipping to the place of D2 & D3… Well. That will make this an different animal.
Another project collaboration between Rej at Grind Customs and CultureJam, similar to the Shoot the Moon but with a couple of subtle differences including a shape switch instead of the wave pot (similar to the 2 knob version we did). If you don’t want to roll your own with the LDR and LED, the Vactec … Read more
A modern upgrade on the Colorsound Overdriver. I have included a 6 position 2 pole rotary switch and you can do it one of two ways. Use the cap daughterboard I have shown in the layout (which will only actually uses one of the poles), or if you prefer you can just solder the caps … Read more
Another PT2399 delay from CJ. An LDR with greater than 1M dark resistance and preferably less than 100K light resistance is recommended. I put the resistors in between LDR and LED to add a bit of separation so you can get them facing each other more easily. As usual with these, it’s recommended that you … Read more
This was a request but thought I may as well share it here in case anyone else wants something similar. It’s just a Fuzz Face with Big Muff tone stack which some may find useful, and can easily be adapted for a germanium build if you prefer. I included a graph of the tone pot … Read more
Jack Orman’s modifications to the Little Angel Chorus, which will hopefully help us get a bit more consistency with the builds. Information about the mods and a schematic can be found on Jack’s blog here: http://www.muzique.com/news/little-angel-chorus-nye/ Currently unverified but based on the verified original layout so should be good to go.
I would advise caution before you proceed :o) This has been put together after a request, but it’s based on a schematic of unknown origin so I don’t know whether the scheme even works never mind the layout. A couple of things do make me think it could be a good trace though. The volume … Read more
Info from Kit Rae about the discontinued but much sought after original: DICE WORKS MUFF DIVER modified Triangle Big Muff clone – A discontinued boutique clone made by Eric Holden, circa 2005, of the an original Electro-Harmonix V1 Big Muff circuit shown on page 1 (PNP Triangle 72 #2), with the addition of switchable coupling … Read more
