a diode based wavefolder waveshaper pedal im working on...

25 diodes.... so many....

Remade this anti-dust pedal box for the third time. I accidentally dropped a pedal on the second iteration and broke it but I was considering throwing the whole thing out anyway. Having to take the extra step of removing the lid made me not play as often, but I think this side mounted piano hinge will work out. Also has the benefit of blocking some of the loudness from the amp/speaker right next to it.

DEMTON - multi effects pedal

"In 1975, 1 year later, 50 years ago, I built myself a multi-effects pedal, I think it might have been the first multi-effects in the country. I had never seen anything like it before.

The entire mechanism was also self-made.

Its special feature was that the Wah and Volume pedals were already optoelectronic, not potentiometers. Noiseless and squeak-free.

It had WAH, Phase shifter, compressor and distortion. The sequence of WAH and distortion could be changed with a switch. And the distortion was adjusted with 6 selectable sound volt switches and coiled inductive filters. I loved it very much."

"I think Hungary's first multi-effects pedal was completed in 1977 :-) I outgrew the old simple distortion and wanted to imitate the professional sounds. The little devil was moving in my brain and didn't leave me alone until I created this pedal. This was the content of WAH - Phase shifter - Fuzz - Compressor . The Fuzz and WAH order could be switched with a switch.  It was particularly interesting that even then the Volume and WAH were made with optical control without a potentiometer! The Phase Shifter was a copy of a Roland Phaser, I cringed the most because the phase shifting was done by 6 RC members, which were controlled by 6 FETs at the same time. After construction, it sounded pretty bad. In my frustration, I messed around until I realized that the FETs must be exactly the same. Luckily for me, the local parts store had approx. It has 150 FETs, from which I was able to select the 6 identical ones. The result spoke for itself. And I began to learn the profession more and more. Thanks to a bit of luck, it came back to me."

At work.

Smallsound/ Bigsound F*ck Overdrive clone I made.

A comprehensive range of clean boost to blown out amp sounds with this circuit. The sag feature means you can starve the voltage to the distortion when you play hard enough (determined by the threshold and depth). What results is notes that fade and stutter into focus in really interactive ways. I’m excited to try it on drums.

The box I did the swirly water spray paint trick and then used my dremel to grind out the lettering.

Housemate drew me the dogs.

my DOD FX59 Thrash Master got here today. pictures can’t convey just how pink it is.

I wanted to take a look at the circuit, and when I did I realized how easy swapping the status LED would be, and how desperately it was begging for a pink LED instead of a dim red one. So I did!

A quick A/B between the Crock and DOD and they don’t sound the same. maybe I’ll record the differences sometime.

i could talk about these for HOURS, they're all my effects pedals!! i haven't fully tapped into all of them but i've been doing a lot of recording lately so i'll probably make some pretty noises with all of them some day in the near future :>

the first picture's order is all wonky because that's the order i have the pedals in the chain

1. EHX' Mel-9 (Mellotron emulator)

2. Alexander Pedals' Defender (OD/DST/FZ)

3. TC Electronic's Grand Magus (RAT similar)

4. Behringer's Noise Reducer (i use mostly as a mute when tuning)

5. TC Electronic's Afterglow (chorus)

6. Donner's Mod Square II (16 modulation in a mini casing)

7. TC Electronic's Hall of Fame 2 (digital reverb)

8. EHX' Oceans 12 (dual digital reverb/delay)

9. homemade JHS Little Black Box copy (1 setting buffer)

---not on the board---

10. TC Electronic's Sub'n'Up (octave)

11. Proco's RAT (distortion/fuzzish?) this one gets put back on the board every now and the

12. Dunlop's Crybaby (wah-wah)

13. Danelectro's Dan-Echo (echo/delay)

14. Joyo's Wow-Wah (auto-wah)

15. Donner's Echo Square

16. BOSS' ODB-3 (bass overdrive) i use this a lot when i play bass :)

17. BOSS' LMB-3 (bass limiter/enhancer)

18. BOSS' RBF-10 (rack mount flanger)

19. Danelectro's EStudio Honeytone E-15 (my dad's headphone amp from the mid-late '90s, not really a pedal but it can sorta be)

secret 20. 1-Spot Pro (power supply under the board, also not really a pedal but it's essential for the rig)

the shoegazer tap dancing on all those thangs

Finished another pedal, big muff clone clone, and the insides look like it needs meatballs

[digi-carrie]

working on a new design, a scatterverb type thing using 4 parallel pt2399 chips, but with a footswitch to modulate the time on all of them out longer. the idea is that the footswitch would change the cool washy reverb made up of a lot of short delays into a smattering of longer delays, akin to multiple heads of a space echo or something. gonna be a massive build though

what if i brought a talkbox to karaoke ...

[pedaloftheday]

In today's demo video, I'm building a JHS Pedals NOTAKLÖN DIY Overdrive Boost Kit from scratch - it's simple, fun and the pedal sounds rad once you're done! Hit that link below to see what this one's all about…🤘🤘

U-boat octave pedal in small-ish box. Enjoying the synth setting.
