Members Bruno Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 Does anyone have a line on one of these bad boys. I played one and the seller does not want to part with it. Man this pedal is nuts! Thanks
Members lefort_1 Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 Lemmeesee... (rummages through closet) ...Mutron BiPhase... ...ADA Flanger... ...Hornby-Skewes treble boost... ...Keeley delay prototype.... ...Jimmy Hoffa's body... Wow, sorry, I'm fresh outta them. ...yes, I'm an ass... Sorry

Members lefort_1 Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Seriously tho,I have an ebay scan that runs and reports anything like that (the Ludwig).The only thing I've seen in 4 months wasa sales/demo-tape of that pedal.That tape went for about $26.I'd be honored just to have a chance at hearing one, much less owning one.Builders: CLONE IT !...after all, it's just discrete components....how hard can that be?
Members Bruno Posted December 6, 2005 Author Members Posted December 6, 2005 I wonder what it would take to clone that bad boy?? I really liked the over the top fuzz sounds that came out of it
Members Boron Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Only place I've heard it is on 'the diamond sea'...what else does it do?

Not your typical 8 component fuzz, that. Would cost a mint to clone, and the price needed to recoup expenses would put it out of reach for most pedal geeks.
Members jTreu Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Originally posted by lefort_1 Seriously tho,I have an ebay scan that runs and reports anything like that (the Ludwig). where can i get one of those?
Members BigFurryWhale Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Theres someone on here that has one. He has a picture of it with an ampeg scrambler and a hi-fi synth or something else (the third thing was very rare aswell) I'd love to hear some clips of this thing, it looked very cool.
Members lefort_1 Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Jtreu, The scan is easy...make it in "My Searches" I scan for "ludwig (phase,phaser,phasor,phaserii,phasorii)" and have it email you if it ever finds anything. Do not, I repeat, NOT, scan for the words "pedal" and "Ludwig" in the same scan, unless you are looking for drumkit bits and pieces.
Members lefort_1 Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 sstim8or, Thanks for the schematic link. It still fits on a couple 4x6 pcb cards, at most. Are the transistor types listed anywhere? This looks like a fun weekend project. It's been a while since I laid out a discrete PCB, but that looks like a single-sided job, at most. ...now where did I put that HF acid?

I agree. It looks like 4 PCBs (with two copies of the formant one one with a trip pot one with a fixed R) for a total of 5 PCBs would do it. Not that much there. I would guess generic silicon transistors would work, 2N3904 and 2N3906.
Members vacuum noise Posted December 7, 2005 Members Posted December 7, 2005 heres one that was on hold and now is sold...http://www.fmogearshop.com/detail.php?invID=113 and a nice pic for everyone

Members covertmusic724 Posted December 7, 2005 Members Posted December 7, 2005 did that come off the set of "Buck Rodgers" or what?
Members homestar Posted December 7, 2005 Members Posted December 7, 2005 jesus, that is the coolest looking pedal i've ever seen

Builders: CLONE IT ! ...after all, it's just discrete components. ...how hard can that be? heh heh...i have the schematics still for it if anybody wants them!!!buit ya gotta build me one too!!!!;-)i had one back in the mid 70's ....what a great pedal...i traded it for a shobud volume pedal, an ac30 and a sack of panama red....big mistake....somebody shoot me!!!!!i think the biggest prob with cloning one is parts availabiliyty....some of the switches and things were custom made for it and impossible to find.i will try and locate the schem and post it when i find it...i know it's on a least a couple of archived cds....but i have a couple hundred so it may take a while...duh....guess i shoulda read the whole thread, ya already have it!!!phew!!!less work for me!!!seriously tho, i unloaded it cuz the bypass footswitch broke and was impossible to replace it was like a 6pdt switch or something.absolutely THE coolest pedal of ALL TIME, IMHO.

Only solution to that is a relay. Then you get your TB and all the rest with minimal torture. I am going to have to check our circuit board software at work and see about making some PCBs. I might do some minor mods (more bypassing), but that would be all.
