tomrulez Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 tom did you order transistor sockets from bitsbox last time you ordered? Nah just the transistors, I think I will be doing next time I order as I just found loads of unmarked transistors and I'm wondering if any are of any decency.

Neil. Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 there's no codes on them at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Only a few numbers and letters and google returns no results when I try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 prolly best to get a DMM and test them out. BTW, not sure if you've seen the Diefet on FSB, but I MUST BUILD IT!! For those of you un-familiar, the Diefet is a project who's aim is to create a Mosfet based pedal to emulate a Diezel VH4's 3rd/4th channels. It's not a million miles off it, and as far as an overdrive pedal goes, i think it sounds class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebVtVHYSPQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I hadn't seen that but I'm looking it up now, seems interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3196 I must build it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3196 I must build it..... Same!!!! Got a vero layout for it?? I can't find a perf layout anywhere let alone a vero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej212 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Same!!!! Got a vero layout for it?? I can't find a perf layout anywhere let alone a vero. that looks a little complex for perfboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 wow that sounds pretty badass. i'm be interested in one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 that looks a little complex for perfboard... Not really, it all depends on how small you want to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 +1 I think i'll try put it into one of the hammond 120 x 95 x 35 (roughly 1.5 x the size of a FF box btw). After i have the current 2 builds done, i'll start planning for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 tom not sure how much of this you'll follow. but, the build i had that wasn't working right is now working, and i'll show you a silicon clip next time your on msn, AND, i started work on the other pedal i ordered parts for... not the MXR one, the other one....

I just made the same one and had it working for about 3 mins then nothing, I think the problem is with the pots somewhere but it had me stumped all of yesterday as everything is wired perfectly.

Neil. Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 i had pots issues too. i replaced all of them with brand new ones and now it works spot on. had an issue with the output jack too when i was (quite literally) shoving it all in the box. It's a bitch to fit into the box, particularly on vero, but with a ridiculous amount of insulating cotton tape, i got there . The other pedal is much easier, but i think i might have my diodes backwards. i soldered it yesterday, and got true bypass, but only hum when it's active, so i'll troubleshoot it later. My exam results are out at 2 and i'm fairly shitting bricks about it so i'll wait till after 2... bad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil. Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 tom, got that second pedal working. The booster one. Turned out it was a dodgy input jack. Got my exam results and i've to repeat a studio project, so i'm going to do that, and possibly start work on a Diefet next month. It sucks, cos i'd love to build one now, but education comes first.

haze015 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I really hope you're not talking about clipping diodes! Are you still building naughty stuff or can you post details? A certain naughty thing doesn't contain any diodes. And if they are the clipping diodes, why aren't they LEDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
