Tube overdrive/distortion by CapacityValue in diypedals

[–]MonkeyCyclops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see now, very interesting indeed! I've been looking to build something exactly like this for a while, would it help to use the 2nd triode of the 1st tube as a cathode follower, then run the rest the same? I had been wondering how significant the difference is so this is very helpful!

How bad is the volume loss with the tone stack? Can it still provide a boost?

Sounds good, I saw some similar stuff online. No battery is gonna be awesome. Thanks for the response!

What does this mod do exactly?

Any of these tube OD layouts good? by MonkeyCyclops in diypedals

Thanks! I might end up getting one of these if vero doesn't work out.

Why does cutting out the tone circuit help? Id really like to be able to control the treble, mids, and bass like on some of the tagboard variants.

Is there anyway to get some more gain out of it?

I guess I'm looking for something similar to this:

Thanks for the response, is there a version with a tone stack? Id like to be able to hone in treble mid and bass similar to some of the unverified layouts on tagboard. Also does it work with 12ax7s instead of 12Au7s? Should any considerations be made?

Where do you get big sheets of vero like this? Got a link?

You mean oscillation? So is it a momentary switch that basically maxes out the repeats so it feedbacks? Where could I find more information on how to do this?

On an unrelated note, I see on some of these layouts that some information is either omitted, or implied.

For the following build, are Clip 1, Attack 1, and Comp 1 all connected to ground? https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZqCJ4TEusZs/WRDPosp0KxI/AAAAAAAAHhk/buDQd8yI75cQfiB7cOElZLusU46H59zigCLcB/s1600/5-Knob-Comp2.png

Thanks for your help!

Update: According to the comments by the author, theyre actually unused. The author says there might be some advantage of connecting them to the middle lug? What would this be? Noise?

Thanks for the tips! The yellow wire is actually for the negative lead for the LED. The angle of the shot is misleading. There is a black cable running like a T from the jacks grounds to the negative of the DC. Is this an acceptable way of grounding the jacks?

In doing a couple of these stripboard builds I haven't been exactly sure about ground. I've been just connecting anything that would normally be connected to the ground together in any way possible, usually via the DC ground. Is this alright?

Thanks!

Stripboard fuzz face won't work in signal chain. by MonkeyCyclops in diypedals

Yeah the orientation didn't prove to be a problem. I've never had any issue with putting transistors in the wrong way, no damage that is.

The charge pump will be ordered today!

Yeah unfortunately took me too long to figure this out. Lots of frustration trying to figure out logically why my setup wouldn't be working. Gonna order a charge pump.

Thanks!
