Is there a soul preacher clone?

[jimilee]

 I have recently been using a soul preacher compressor on bass,and it sounds great in my opinion,(but not so much on guitar) is there a clone I could build since it's a borrowed pedal?

Why don't you open it up and take a look? See what it's made of? If you can disassemble and snap good pics, we might be able to back trace it.

I have schematics for what I think is an older version. But, I don't remember where I found them and I have no idea how accurate they are. This schem I have is a JFET based one that is similar to an OS in design. The newer versions are supposed to be different.

Jimi, there's a vero layout of it on sabrotone as well, I've got the board cut for it I just haven't populated it yet as I am about a hundred boards behind right now.

Personally, I find the Dynas and the ET work best on bass, finishing off an ET with Jacobs Panner to give it a little bit of Tone Press type feel.

For bass?

[GermanCdn]

Yeah, for bass.  I love the sound of my Warwick through them, it tightens everything up while putting a little ambience in them.  For guitars, I prefer the Tone Press, Afterlife, or Bearhug, all depending on which guitar (I really like the Bearhug in tandem with Josh's Little Red for strats, and the Afterlife teamed up with a bloviater and a Fatpants for teles).

Reason I'm putting the panner in is to be able to dial out a bit of the squish from the direct signal without actually reducing the squish.  I know, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I can't believe how few components I'm seeing. I left these full resolution so you could see the detail better. opefully these are good enough of one side. I really don't want to take my friends pedal apart.

[RobA]

I'm guessing all the IC and resistors are on the other side and that it's SMD. I really doubt that the schematics I have are for this version.

[jkokura]

Yeah, you're not actually seeing the circuit there. You need to disassemble it all to get at that stuff.

If you want to buy a soul preacher, I can sell you one really really cheap. I bought it a few weeks ago, and then finished a 1776 Bearhug and am using that instead (on guitar).  If I had my bass rig at home, I'd record you a demo of both of them.

[jimilee]

Oh yeah this is the el nano version it has a knee switch for soft med and hard, that's my attraction to it.

how cheap?

[drezdn]

For you, $35 including shipping. It's the Nano, includes the box. Works perfectly.

As mentioned above, I've only had it few weeks, and bought it from another forum member.

I'm in!Where you want the money sent?

  Hey Jimille i think this could help.
