I'd like to get the old schematic, too.

It's the earlier PCB of the earlier production of the haunting mids. From what I gather, JHS changed the circuit and thus did PPCB.

General Questions / Re: SMT replacement for BC549

Last post by garfo - October 13, 2024, 01:23:31 PM

The SMD ones are called BC849.

I was also looking for this and had a look and both data sheets. They don't seem to be exactly the same.

I did mount the resonance control which is normally an internal trim pot on dash and I'm glad I did to get some more out of it.

Is there the trimmer in your PCB?

Actually, I noticed the PCB by PedalPCB now is different than the one in the image above. No more charge pump (it has just the two op-amp, indeed), and there's no any trimmer.

Maybe this Magnifico is not the JHS Haunting Mids?

The weird part is that modulation effects and delay are out so it kinda gets limited to distortion.  I have the original Tonex capture box and got some cool caps of my Traynor TS25.  It's a cool tech and I enjoy playing stuff that people upload but haven't had a chance to record anything so it doesn't get used outside of the fun of auditioning other peeps gear.

I like the idea but haven't leaned into using it enough.

Still if you could do generic pedal captures, that would be pretty cool.  Not sure how that would work but a great idea.

You might look at the mod dwarf by mod audio. You get the "best" of both world, you can use aida or nam to capture your amp & pedals and then use programmed modulation and cab sim to get an all in one.
the brother in law with his challenged back traded his pedalboard for the dwarf, only kept the whammy.
Plus, as you can build pedalboard and snapshots within a pedalboard, he found himself focusing on his fingers rather than his feet.
Obviously, looking at his shoes, i found the entire thing a bit sad but to be fair, i did not feel that he sounded any different.

I'm still not completely satisified with my capture process. The reamp box level setup is not plug & play. The audio level output is a bit below the guitar level that i was using to test it. As it was humbuckers, i sort of decided not to correct it.
Neural amp modeler and AIDA are both free & opensource capture & modeler.

First capture is the MOAR which i dearly love and should definitely not be forgotten.

Has this thread become an advertising platform for movie websites? Apparently, yes

By the way, have you checked out any new movies in theaters now? They're always a fun way to dive into new stories and spark fresh conversations.

Completely irrelevant and a bizarre way to end a conversation.
Then this one:

And here's a cool tip: If you haven't used 123movie  yet, you should definitely check it out. They have a huge selection of movies that don't require a subscription, and you don't even have to sign up or give any personal info. It's super convenient, and you can browse a ton of films.

We get this advertisement from a brand new "user" twice! Hello, bots. Nice to meet you.

Bingo, the Proposition.  I like that circuit and I thought it did a really good job of covering the tone of the original but the Rockman sound is also based on the delay ("reverb") and chorus so it took a fair bit of stuff to duplicate.

Still it sounded very cool and I've loved the pedal.  I don't get a chance to play it out live but at some point praise band music will come around to 80's radio rock and I'll be at the forefront :-)

@movinginslomo
It's on/on.

I was assuming, but didn't want to resolder. I may start soldering today even
