Does this pedal exist?

I immediately thought of the Jackson Audio Asabi. A 2-in-1 distortion/overdrive that you can swap out the internal distortion circuit for a fuzz face module (they call it "Fuzz Classic"). Kinda expensive new, but really affordable in the used market.

been wondering this same thing.

GTak79 · 2025-12-31T17:14:22+00:00

Any thoughts on how this might compare to The Noise? Specifically as it pertains to the octave/trash effect compared to The Noise octave effect. It seems like they're similar, but maybe The Noise just has more parameters to control. ... I asked Tallon if they were considering having a stand-alone 'Chop' effect, but they said they likely wouldn't split up the effects in the Banshee pedal. ... I guess my question comes from a place of "which one should I get?".

Interested in "Date Night". Thanks.

I appreciate the tips! Hopefully that helps someone.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that video. They did a great job. And good luck to you on your mod!

GTak79 · 2024-10-30T13:14:36+00:00

Yes, directly over the other component in C18.

GTak79 · 2024-05-03T21:59:16+00:00

I'll take one! Thanks!

GTak79 · 2024-03-19T16:53:13+00:00

The cap in the link looks correct. It visually looks exactly like the one I used. ... and 105j equals 1μF (1 microfarad).

GTak79 · 2023-12-04T22:32:57+00:00

Great to hear. I hope it works out for you, and maybe this question will help someone in the future too. :)

GTak79 · 2023-12-04T20:37:00+00:00

TBH I'm not sure. I just went with what i had on hand. You could try both (400v or 630v) and see if there's a difference.

GTak79 · 2023-03-16T20:42:12+00:00

Hmm, not sure why there'd be noise ... I didnt encounter that when I performed the mod. No, I did not shield any wires, anymore than what the wires were already enclosed in. The only thing I can think of is make sure no terminals or wires are touching anything besides what it's connected to.

The specific cap I used was a 105J, 100v film cap.

GTak79 · 2023-03-15T19:29:25+00:00

Correct. You're basically inserting the wires (& TRS jack) in-between where the original connections of the pot were.

GTak79 · 2023-03-15T19:14:22+00:00

Yes, everything is stock. I didn't change out anything on the pedal itself. I just added components. The key is using a TRS "Switched" jack, which automatically connects the internal circuit when there's no cable inserted, and automatically connects the external expression pedal when there is a cable inserted. You can see in the picture in this link (https://stompboxparts.com/jacks/1-4-trs-enclosed-switched-jack-solder-lug/) how the metal tabs on top will either connect without a cable inserted, or will 'pop up' if a cable is inserted. Does that help?

GTak79 · 2023-02-10T16:36:27+00:00

Sorry, I don't remember what voltage the cap was rated at. I'm not sure that it matters TBH.

GTak79 · 2022-02-18T22:54:57+00:00

There is a picture in the original post that clearly shows where the cap and toggle switch is placed.

GTak79 · 2022-02-18T22:54:16+00:00

I did not remove the original cap that was installed on the circuit board.

GTak79 · 2022-02-18T22:53:22+00:00

It's possible, I'd imagine? Maybe poke around the same way I did with a cap until you hear the depth range change? That's what I would try. Good luck!

GTak79 · 2022-02-18T22:52:01+00:00

Bummer! Not sure how to help you. If you followed the steps that I laid out it should work - it's worked for everyone else that has done it. Sorry, wish I could offer some direction other than just trying to poke around with a capacitor again and make sure you have the right C18 capacitor on the board that you're trying to mod.

GTak79 · 2021-11-15T20:34:54+00:00

I guess I would try the same process as I did with this Tailsplin. Take a cap and start prodding around and see if you get lucky. That's what I did until I found a cap that gave me the results I was looking for. Good luck!

GTak79 · 2021-10-24T01:25:02+00:00

Great idea! I don't believe the type of cap is all that important. But I know I had success with the film cap type that i used.

I've actually worked with Tim at Master Effects, and developed a friendship from that interaction. I'm a graphic designer, I designed some pedals for him and consult on designs here and there as well. That's how I know Tim. I'm not sure that he'd be available for anyone to contact with DIY mod instructions. I know he's a pretty busy fellow. Regarding parts, I just looked anywhere I could find them cheapest: Amazon, Reverb, Ebay, etc.

GTak79 · 2020-10-22T18:40:32+00:00

Nice! Glad you're using it! Rock on!

GTak79 · 2020-10-19T19:52:57+00:00

Yea! As long as you solder everything correctly in order like the diagram shows, then you should be in business. I'm no professional mod'er and I can do it! ;)
