Sibob Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's the standard Mad Beans Slow Lorris, so it's essentially a Rat (LM308) with the Ruetz mod (a frequency clipping sweep) and diode selection (diodes/none/leds). Should be cool, looking forward to the Egghead (Clark Gainster) and the Green Russian Muff kit to Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumps Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Hi guys Without boring you with my life story I'm looking to make my first pedal, i want to make a true bypass looper (It will be built into my pedal board) I want two effects loops & have the ability to choose which loop I want to use on the hop. obviously I want them with a stomp switch, Now I'm getting very confused with the terminology on this site (I did a google search all by myself ) can someone please offer advice as to which one I want please ? [url="http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/Looper-Switcher/index.htm"]http://www.beavisaud...tcher/index.htm[/url] Now I think I just need to follow these schematics on the last one at the bottom called the "Effects order switcher" but replace the 4PDT switch with a 4PDT foot switch. which i think the simple way to go but what I would like to know is can you have a switch for each loop that you can just turn on & off like the pick below. So is it possible to modify the schematic & if so how ? Edited January 22, 2013 by fumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) that would be two of the True Bypass Loopers - No LED, DPDT Switch, under the True Bypass Loopers section (image shown below). to put two of these in one case, you have to basically make two of them up, but instead of the 1/4" Mono Jack ports in the middle, you would run the wire from where the TIP would be on the OUT from one "half" to where the TIP would go from the IN on the other, and the same for the SLV (sleeve). I hope that made sense. =] EDIT: i crudely paint'ed up what i meant, please ignore the poor paint skills... im a musician not a graphic designer >.> Edited January 22, 2013 by elephantgrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ha haaa ! light goes on. I was struggling when you explained it at first lol cheers mate This will be built into my pedal board so only need the case for the jack plugs & the switches will be up on the top surface of the pedal board itself. cheers again mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Ok noob question: what type of wire do i use ? just been googling and all sorts of answers are coming up I've found #24 prebonded wire is better but that makes no sense to what I'm looking at to order Also where I join up the black wire (between the two Send & return jacks) what its the best way ? solder or insert some kind of junction connector, i want to do this right & have no worries about it being a bit crap.......crapness comes from my playing not the kit i have lol Edited January 22, 2013 by fumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 you can just solder all the points to the point on the SLV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If you're using a metal case and metal-sleeved sockets you can ignore all of the black wires, I made an identical box for a BC member [IMG]http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j89/rh15951/DualLoop1_zps8521c951.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Hi Protium cheers for this. How come it still works without the black wires ? That pic is exactly what I'm planning but with the stomp switches sticking out of the top of my board Also one last question: I need 0.5mm stranded cable for this ?

Sibob Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Boxed up another little project This is a custom painted enclosure by our very own Shep (Pantherairsoft). The circuit is a Fuzzrocious 'Broke Dick Peanut Gallery', or BDPG for short, a high-gain preamp, an awesome sounding overdrive! Next to be boxed up are a GGG Green Russian Muff with AMZ mids control mod, a Mad Beans Rat clone and a Mad Beans Gainster clone. Also working on a AMZ clean boost, and a Zvex Super Hard-On clone.

Protium Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 New pedal just about finished - Green Big Muff I sourced some NOS Russian transistors for this (same as those used in the original pedals) to give it that authentic vibe...

Is there anything I can change to give is a bit more bass? ta [url="http://diy.musikding.de/images/stories/zen/zenschalt.pdf"]http://diy.musikding...n/zenschalt.pdf[/url] Or how to add a blend into it...

Take out the 2M2 pulldown resistor from the input of the Zen if you do this though, and attach the output of the Zen straight to lug 3 on the blend pot (no need for the trimpot).

TG Flatline Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 No worries. Have a gander at the schem for the Paul C Tim or Timmy drive and you can expand the Voice control into a more usable bass control quite easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a blend, maybe with bypass so you switch off the dry signal with a foot switch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey all in D.I.Y land! Here's a 'have you tried' type post! - You may have seen my posts about being interested in a compressor pedal with a dry blend. On having abit of a search round google, I see that B.Y.O.C have a design for a '5 knob compressor'. It's 'ratio' control actually sets the level of wet and dry mix - something that immediately interested me. Has anyone built one or owns one who would be willing to do a quicky review? - I like the idea of this pedal as it would allow (to some extent) further modding to perfection. In my utter laziness, I may even scout out for someone to build one for me with some sexy graphics on the outside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Finished a Colorsound Bass Fuzz pedal last week - I put a buffered blend in it too, just to give it a little bit more flexibility: https://soundcloud.com/paul_510/sets/coloursound-bass-fuzz-clone These samples were recorded straight into ProTools - no cab simulators or compression etc... Just raw, dirty bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
