Effects - Pedals, Multi-Effects, and Floor Boxes

Madbean Karate Shop, clone of the Systech Harmonic Energizer. This thing is really cool. Full on low throttle all the way to cocked wah. Very versatile and sounds great with OD, distortion and fuzz. Controls are bandwidth, frequency, gain and volume.





Godlyke makes a comparable clone and this video explains the pedal and contains a demo.

Fuzz Factory clone, made with a Das Musikding PCB.

Gutsies..


Outside..

The rehouse made for me by my friend so I can mod my DS-1 and rehouse it with true bypass. We'll see if I'm as smart as I think I am.

made a few diddies. Left to Right: Pharaoh, Madbean Boneyard w/gain select footswitch and clipping option toggle, Naga Viper.

Just checking in to see who (if anyone) is still around?

[fortytwo]

Oh yeah..

I haven't made anything since the Factory further up on this page, but I love this thread, I've learned so much from it..

Still reading, but I don't post in here alot....I'd have to actually finish a project to do that.

This was my favorite thread to lurk in the old days.

[WeStartToDrift]

I have big plans for when I get back to the states... I'll try and post photos.

Still around (just, the new layout is really ugly and hard to navigate)

Here's some more notable recent builds:

Looking good Mike.

Here's the last custom build I did. It's a Modded PTP Fuzz Face I dubbed "The Alchemist" because it had a gold plated lug footswitch and Evidence Audio IGL Copper for everything that wasn't true PTP.

Tech!

[currynoodles]

A comissioned build for Pedram of Damn Dirty Apes with decals designed by the client. A dirt multi-fx with all the drive you'll ever need. 

Rat -> Triangle Big Muff Pi -> TS808.

Why is this thread dead? Anyways, decided to try a new layout style.

So, for some reason (I can't remember why exactly) I decided that I should try making a tremolo last night. Well, I spent most of the day tinkering around on the breadboard trying various ways of doing this and came up with this:

I've never done an LFO/modulation effect before but I'm pretty happy with how this has turned out so far. I didn't really do any research into how most people make a tremolo at all. Started from scratch doing it how I thought would be a good way of doing it. Pretty cool, so far, I think.

crosspost into this thread which has already given me so much advice in the past:

long story short, i have a Retrosonic Chorus and would like to make it so that the rate in the vibrato mode can go slower than stock.

if the circuit is pretty much the same as a CE-1, here it is:

looks like there is a 100k potentiometer that controls the rate, with a 220k resistor bridging it. if i were to simply increase the pot to say a 500k, that would increase the max rate, correct? 

which is the opposite of what i'm trying to do. So would i need to replace the 220k resistor with say a 100k one to lower the slowest rate?

any help would be much appreciated.

Been working on a Tremolo design for myself but if it turns out pretty cool/feasible to make I may offer it publically. I think I am going to add a second LFO to it, actually. I have a fuzz built into it now as well as a different method of doing the trem but neither is especially thrilling me as a feature (the fuzz sounds nice but I think I'd rather just make it on its own). 

Edit: Ditched the fuzz and did something awesome. I added a second LFO that modulates the depth of the tremolo over time Independent depth and rate for that one, too. Very cool.

very cool! subtle and effective

[mmolteratx]

Maca, the 220k resistor is effectively lowering the value of the 100k pot in parallel with it. You can try lowering the value of the resistor to lower the range of the pot. Might have to up the value of the pot to compensate if you take it too low though.

Also, designed this new Muff board for myself tonight. Will probably be ordering extras if anyone is interested. Clip switches in/out the first diode pair for Jumbo Tone Bender tones, Mids is a three position switch to set the mid scoop/boost of the tone control. Will probably be $7 + shipping.
