Build Reports / Klon/Imp Build
Last post by Ny_racer_xxx - November 14, 2024, 09:21:33 PM Well not a build yet, I have the boards and gathering parts just a simple question.
MAX1044 from I gather were in the original, why use a ICL7660? You can still get the 1044 and I know they are swappable, and I guess pretty much electrically the same? For no other reason than aesthetics I like to keep my builds as true to the originals as possible when I can, but wondering if there's a sonic reason...
Thanks

I finally got 2 2n1306 transistors for this and....... it still only does a light overdrive. Only slightly more than having 2n1304 in there. I've triple checked all values and checked for solder bridges , touched up solder joints I thought might be dodgy and the only mod was I'm missing the switch that is under the gain mode switch. I have 2 wire soldered in and twisted together. Don't think that would cause any issues but I don't know for sure.
Hoping to hear something soon from the Bean himself.
How about it Mr. Madbean have you finished your orifice build yet ?

Last post by Marshall Arts - November 13, 2024, 06:14:06 AMQuote from: djaaz on November 12, 2024, 09:38:39 PMIt sure did. then, i built probably half a dozen fuzzes this year and as no modeler can capture fuzz for bananas, seems i'll do just as much next year bc i need every each one of them.
That being said. i really recommand taking a look at https://mod.audio/ download the mod desktop app and try it on your pc, mac whatever it is that you use to mainly browse what's remaining of the web.
This thing is really fun.
Thanks, I surely will do - looks like it would be a perfect setup with the ekano.

I was just starting to investigate arduino based controller for a mod.audio raspberry Pi based modeler/multi pedal. I'll need 4 pots and 3 footswitches. Yet another world to explore.
A raspberry Pi based modeler? Wow - the world has come a long way since Fuzz pedals ;-)

VFE Projects / Re: VFE Mini Mu
Last post by Itchy Scratcherson - November 10, 2024, 03:59:27 AMHi everyone! Very frustrating there's no better solution other than not to use Latching relays. I'm in precisely the same boat with THREE VFE SPS circuits... I'll spare everyone my troubleshooting essay and summarize by saying the latching relay is not seeing voltage on pin1 and so it never switches. But when engaged the LEDs light and the 3 pedals sound great. I'll buy some non-latching relays OR add a traditional stomp switch.
Be well!

General Questions / Re: Low Signal Relay 5VDC DPDT...
Last post by Itchy Scratcherson - November 10, 2024, 03:43:12 AMfwiw, I can confirm a 78L05 voltage regulator seems to be a legit replacement for the LP2950 on the VFE Merman, VFE Mobius Strip, VFE Pale Horse, and the VFE Tractor Beam. Also, if you buy LP2950's, be more careful than I was and make sure you get the 5V version not the 3.3V version! HTH
