Title: sunking
Post by: cjkbug on June 20, 2011, 01:13:55 PM
Here is a sunking on 1 of the last 2 boards I bought from Bean. I did the double diode switch mod, with bat41's, ma856's, 1n914's, and some nos metal can Tesla diodes. I might make some adjustments after playing for a while. I originally used ad712 opamps which I wouldn't recommend. They sounded boxy and harsh. I replaced one with a op2134 and it sounded better, and I have  some on order so I'll replace the second shortly. I haven't really liked the 712's in anything but the serendipity.

ouawww. perfect wiring and finishing is impressing ....
Do you feel it sounds like in the video from JakeFuzz ?
(probably one of my next build but I've before another project).

I would like to build 2 Sunking in one pedal. Is someone tried one to boost the other ? Does it make sense from your opinion ?

Thanks

Wow that is impressive! I must agree inside and outside are spectacular! Telsa can diodes would be LM313's that tubeman used? Which diodes are your favorite so far?

those aren't the same as tubeman's diodes. I still want to try some of those. I like the tesla's. It's funny the different diodes do change the character of the circuit a little but they all do sound like the sunking, If that makes sence. My favorite clippers in the sunking so far are a pair of 2n7000's with a 1n34a in series, followed by a pair of 3mm green led's a close second.
I also like the sound of 1n695's.  I just got a bunch of nos black glass diodes that I'm dying to try out. I only have one sunking board left so I gotta come up with something interesting.

Great job man, as usual... and excellent choice of towel color too, I find it hard getting a good shot of my pedals with my cheapo cybershot camera ;)

Beautiful graphics and wiring. That's a lot of stuff to cram into that enclosure and you've done a fantastic job keeping it neat.

Super rockin' cool and perfectly executed, sweet!
Very nice graphics yet again, may I ask which program/software you use to create designs?
What's the label you print on?
Cheers

I use photoshop cs1. All decals are currently being done on either clear or white inkjet decals stock from www.decalpaper.com

I much prefer using inkjet paper as you eliminate haveing to clearcoat the decal before application. But I smoked my printer a couple months ago and haven't invested in a new one yet.
