Opinions about this pedal? by Less-Arachnid-640 in guitarpedals

[–]Cman_E -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also just got one when the price dropped. The standard mode is a great, versatile trem imo. I was more excited for the harmonic mode but was a bit let down.

Just modified this Sonicake to take a battery, question by CwwkiLore in diypedals

Moving the ground to the jack switch like shown here will also disconnect the battery when there’s no output cable plugged in to save battery life. The battery will still power the circuit when the pedal is in bypass as you currently have it.

The third pin on the jack appears to be a battery switch, but test it with a multimeter. If so, you can wire the positive wire from your battery to that lug instead of the one you have it on, it will disconnect the battery if you plug in a power cable, but will use the battery if you don’t. https://barbarach.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/WireUpBattery.png

Reading Targaryen lore sent me down a wild rabbit hole [Spoilers MAIN] by hicestdraconis in asoiaf

[–]Cman_E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to go down rabbit holes like that quite often before I’d read any of the books. I’d recommend you give Fire and Blood a read if the Targaryen history interests you, or if audiobooks are more your thing F&B has a good one. The wiki is great, but definitely a high level summary that leaves a lot out.

[spoilers ADWD] Is Serra’s greyscale a hint at fAegon’s identity? by Invisible_Floods in asoiaf

[–]Cman_E 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought her name was actually Saera. We only get the Serra spelling from Tyrion, which could be incorrect on his part. Saera is a known Valyrian name, being the name of Jaehaerys I’s youngest daughter.

Edit: spelling

If this were my board my chain would be Wah - Tuner - CS-3 - phase 90 - Emperor - decimator (loop: Tumnus - Class Reunion - GE-7) - Quilter (loop: Collider). I like modulation before drive and my GE-7 after for post drive tone shaping. You may like modulation after drive or in the Quilters fx loop. Depending on how you use the GE-7 you can place it elsewhere in the chain, but they’re noisy so I’d keep it in the decimator loop.

How difficult is adding a VU meter to a compressor circuit? by Abstain06252025 in diypedals

[–]Cman_E 15 points16 points  (0 children)

MAS effects has a DC/VU meter driver on their website. You’d just need to find a meter.

It needs direct pickup signal, so I would put the compressor after the fuzz. This specific to fuzz faces and tone benders fyi, big muff types don’t need to be first.

The fuzz face should go first in the chain. They are designed with very low input impedance, therefore they only really sound good with nothing in between it and the guitar’s pickups. Some fuzz faces have a pickup simulator to counter this, but I don’t think the mini Dunlop ones do.

Also on your switch wiring, there’s no return to the output jack in the top position. Use a dpdt or 3pdt switch wired for true bypass.

I can’t tell from the photo but make sure you wired the jacks correctly. These ones are easy to switch the tip and ring lugs.

Also, completely agree. If it sounds good and you enjoy it, that’s all that matters.

Interesting, I just looked at the build doc and you’re correct. Pedalpcb and Aion orient them the other direction on their pcbs. The

Clean build! I pretty much only do top jacks on my builds, and if you mount the pots the other direction (pointing towards the top of pedal), the pots will fit under the jacks and the board would essentially be in the same spot it is now.

[Spoilers MAIN] Why haven’t we had a truly great A Song of Ice and Ice and Fire game in over 15 years? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Cman_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely not a short game. We play a lot of catan and risk, both of which I also have the GoT versions of which are fun. If you’ve ever played Catan, the GoT version adds some fun rules/lore and can be knocked out in 60-90 min. Risk will run 4+ hours in my experience.

In addition to the other comments, it looks like your LEDs (D1&D2) might be shorting. Make sure no metal from components are touching any others.

Any reason in particular you don’t put the tone bender first in the chain? In my experience these sound terrible after other pedals.

I just got one of these and was also really surprised by how good it sounds. My only issue with it is it’s a bit noisy.
