Crowella Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You know shit is getting serious when you buy an oscilloscope. Managed to find the same one that I use at uni for cheap, working well. YUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 both my center punch and wire stripper have gone missing... I want to get this finished. The purple PCB wasn't enough to ensure that I sound like Jimi Hendrix. One side was green, so it automatically makes it sound like an angry beehive being destroyed by a chainsaw inside a metal trash bin. Just to be safe, I will order some purple control knobs.

Crowella Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Instagram is da tone. But seriously, that purple is <3 Meanwhile, my move over to momentary stomp switches is looking brighter by the minute. Oscilloscope shows a slight pulse on the switching on but the tradeoff is switching time vs spike. Should be okay, I'll give it a try soon in a pedlol. And Neil, couldn't do a 470 resistor for the LED, it just didn't trigger the relay. 1K was fine though and with superbrights, plenty to show a pedal is on. Only draw back of this is it takes about >10mA of current at least when bypassed, so batteries could be a no go. Also means you have the option of choosing if the pedal switches on when you connect power or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Aren't you worried that your digital oscilloscope will destroy your fragile harmonics and your true bypass analog toenz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 getting started on wiring this up, but... ...I'm not adding a LED for this. Is the bottom one correct if I have a 3PDT switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Aren't you worried that your digital oscilloscope will destroy your fragile harmonics and your true bypass analog toenz? Very worried, that's why I got the most vintage digital one available. James, they are both correct if you aren't wiring a LED. I normally use a true bypass wiring schematic that grounds input when bypassed. Cbf finding the picture on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 use this Omit the LED portion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 That's the one I would have said if I bothered looking. That will work *better* than just straight wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is turning out to be far roomier than I thought. Just waiting on some 3pdt switches to come in then prototype #1 will be built fairly soon. Circuit is designed, just need to do the board and populate it.

Neil. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Having a test of 3d printing a stencil for painting. There's 2 benefits to this as far as what I'm aiming for. 1, seriously easy to get detailed stencils. 2, if its a bit patchy and it leaks a little, I won't mind. I think it'll look a bit more authentic. Pics or its a soldano? Shitguize, its a leldano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Not really, but it says (from what I can see) HCF4049JBE GK617260 ??? something CHN Neil said it looked like a craig anderson tube sound fuzz. All it does is make the sound really bright, thinner, and SLIGHTLY overdriven.... barely and that's with both of the controls all the way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Tube sound fuzz would b my guess too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowella Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If quality isn't your greatest concern, go Elecrow. Cheap but they do the job. If the silkscreens were better Id be recommending them every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
