Don'tPostThePear Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Here's the midfi: HD Blank Screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6bpoWANoQc Making of pics: Sony Vegas and Arduino programming interface, recording stage: "Guts" It was covered with a shoebox and a tshirt during the recordings, because of the LDR And the finished drive+boost: As you can hear most of the sounds are not really useful, but i lold at the returning noise in Sunburn because it is similar to Chris's live bass effect which i found completely useless. Equipment were a cheap Fender tube amp, a strat like Cort and a shitty speak mic. No additional effects used, but the Clari(not) still had a noticeable clean boost after the fuzzlift.

teej212 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 LOL!!!!!! epic win. and awesome looking pedal, i love that finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Anyone want to check this over and see if there are any problems? http://twitpic.com/fdr8j It's a fuzz pedal with switchable transistors. Not the neatest layout but it's understandable, I think. Suggestions are welcomed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 There isn't one, just did that off the top of my head straight onto vero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 There isn't one, just did that off the top of my head straight onto vero. I stared at your vero for 3 mins, i could follow the signal until Q1 () then i saw your "First Aid Post" pic and started laughing and got confused by the vero.

tomrulez Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 It's based on a boutique fuzz I built (can't go into it here) and then I changed some values for my liking and put in a sag control and a dpdt to switch between transistors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more posting schematics and trying to sell them that bothered Zachary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil. Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 tom i'm not sure about your transistor switch. i think you need a 4pdt switch for it. i came across a schem before for transistor switching, but i cant find it now. google it's ass.

tomrulez Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 tom i'm not sure about your transistor switch. i think you need a 4pdt switch for it. i came across a schem before for transistor switching, but i cant find it now. google it's ass. I originally thought it would need a 3pdt, one for each leg. However at the moment both transistors have one leg connected to the same point but they wont work unless the C and E are connected to them so when one is selected the other isn't doing anything as two of it's legs aren't connected to anything. That probably doesn't make sense as it's hard to explain, I might just use 3pdt to save some trouble. I googled "transistor switching" and many variants on that phrase and all I could find was pages about using a transistor as a switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis saves the day! I think he meant 3PDT insted of DPDT. Or: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks for that, just what I needed. Although I'm pretty sure that is a DPDT in the first image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej212 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 you def dont need a 4pdt to switch transistors but i dont think you can do it with a dpdt, if you can, please tell me how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks for that, just what I needed. Although I'm pretty sure that is a DPDT in the first image Now that i brought my head closer to the screen, it really looks like a dpdt. But what to do with the remaining transistor leg? Maybe he can connect the remaining two legs (like the two emitters) and connect them permanently to the circuit. I think one connected leg of the non-used transistor can't do too much harm.

That's what I said earlier and that's the way I've done it on that vero I posted, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
