Members hotmess Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 See every single Tycobrahe varient ever. I'm talking transformer stage FWR, not transistor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmolteratx Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yea, you still need some gain up front to get a decent octave. And IMO, needs another gain stage afterwards to have a decent amount of output. Not a fan of the stock Tycobrahe design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hotmess Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have to disagree with you here. I know you're going to need gain up front, that's why I said that it would be for putting a distortion pedal in front of it. But a transformer FWR should only have a peak loss of, well, whatever diode you use. That's pretty insignificant. The Tycobrahe, Screamer Octave, NEO-ctavia all have plenty of output and no gain recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmolteratx Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Not pedal related, but had to start my semester design project since it's due tomorrow. Got it all done, then realized I {censored}ed up the operand and operator registers and have to modify them with a MUX to determine where the input goes on certain counts. But it's gonna look messy after that so here's the relatively clean schem as it stands. Hate digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WeStartToDrift Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I got bored and bought an Arduino board with the goal of designing a 12 loop audio switcher with MIDI by the time I get back to the states... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davenoid Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 A couple of months ago I said I was done building pedals for a while. Turns out I was wrong. I have since built a couple more. Here's a new family portrait. We now have a compressor, a clean boost, two overdrives, two fuzzes, an octave down fuzz, a phaser, a tremolo, two delay pedals (one with chorus), and a spring reverb unit (not pictured). Okay, now I'm done for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmolteratx Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Originally Posted by hotmess I don't get the logic of this design. BOOM! CMOS puns! lol Finalized: It's just a simplified 4 bit ALU. Decoder determines which of the 3 register banks that the input goes to. Top is operand 1, middle is operand 2, bottom is operator codes. Register outs for operand 1 and 2 are added, AND'd, OR'd and operand 1 is NOT'd. Register outs for the operator determines which of those gets passed on to the output register. Modulo-8 counter's outs are taken to determine counts 0, 1, 3, 4 and 7. 0 shows the data is valid, 1 loads data in the operator register, 3 in the operand 1 register, 4 in the operand 2 register and 7 lets the output into the output register to be stored.

Members CodeMonk Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 While on a hunt for some knobs that weren't the "run of the mill" types you get from the usually online stores, including ebay, I ran across these: (Click pic for ebay page) These would be perfect for my current project. Unfortunately, they are 19mm in diameter, which is to large. I need something around 15mm in diameter. 17mm may work, but that is getting close to the borderline for me. I have emailed the seller, but they don't have anything smaller than that. They also have that style in a chicken head knob for anyone that may be interested. Has anyone seen anything similar to this, but in a smaller size? (A vintage looking metallic/copper/gold looking kind of style knob?) I have looked on ebay (but I'm sure I am missing several thousand knobs that may be there and have checked the links on the beavis audio page as well, to no avail. Oh, and they will be for round shaft pots, so a set screw would be preferred. But press fit is not out of the question And while searching another DIY forum I followed a link to some that someone called called "sheep nose" knobs. Those would be interesting, but alas, a google search of "sheep nose knobs" came up empty "Sheep nose" knobs ( 2nd and 3rd from the bottom) : http://www.lynx.bc.ca/~jc/pedals.html ) Thanks.

Members Astatine Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 My micro-controller tremolo is coming together - finally got my prototype working as it should. Has 9 waveforms stored in memory, and three banks where you can record your own using the depth knob and the record switch. Really happy with the results, might re-consider a few of the wavetable samples, but it's getting there! Next job is to get a PCB made up - currently it's on veroboard for the audio and perfboard for the uC module.
