Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Reverse Engineer

[haveyouseenhim]

This thread is dedicated to my efforts in reverse engineering the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe wah pedal.
This is my first attempt at reverse engineering an effect so I will be learning as I go.

There are two PCBs, one containing the wah circuit (single sided board) and one with parameter controls (double sided board)
So far I have documented the guts with my camera and used inkscape to trace the main PCB.
I have also taken notes on the values and placement of all of the components.

Feel free to contribute if you have something useful

PCB printed and labeled last night.

I just finished tracing the control board with the traces all on one side for etching.

Nice work so far. What sort of pot or is it a rotary switch goes on that circular mass of pads on the right in your last pcb trace ?

It's a 4 pole 3 position   On the wah its labeled: Jimi, Shaft, and Whacked.

Today's progress:

Etched


And labeled

I don't think I can help you with your progress but I'm really excited about this effort of yours!
I have a McCoy on my breadboard but I'm getting a bit of unclean/distorted sounds in the heel-down position. (This might be from using humbuckers).

I just wanted to let you know that although you seem not to get much attention, I care and I'm really interested in your endeavour!

[Renegadrian]

Yeah altough me or others are not gonna build it, you deserve a big THANK YOU for your time and contribution!

Since you are making your boards you could make it perfect adding some 2.2M resistors on the cap switches to avoid big popping and an output buffer for better interfacing with some old pedals

Hey!

Did a reverse of the standard some time ago, got the schematic:
http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=98514.0

PCB looks like the same, the only thing added is the "rotary switch board".
Aexradium: the 1M resistor is located on the 2pdt.

that is a pulldown for the input or output i dont know,but when you turn the 3 pos selector you hear a big bump that can blow your head if not the speakers.
you couldnt hear that because yours was a standard i guess.

Very cool Mike. Is there anything I can do to help?

Well at least I'm learning. and I'm doing the control board

Thanks

I'm excited to see a schematic of the control board attached to the main pcb.
Could you be able to provide that?

How can I help?

[haveyouseenhim]

How can I help?

I was just saying that because no one was replying. lol   

[Jdansti]

You might not have a lot of replies, but you've got a lot of views. Good job.

[haveyouseenhim]

If anybody wants some boards to do this project I'll send them a set if they order the rotary switch for me on ebay . I don't have a paypal anymore because of some sketchiness that happened with paypal and ebay.   It's here:

[Jdansti]

Done. It'll be shipped to your home address.

CORRECTIONS

The resistor in parallel with the led is a 4.7k    not 470ohm
The resistor on the far left of the control board is a 1M   not 100k

And the trimmer on the main board is a 2k    not 22k



@ John     these don't apply to the boards I sent you. I marked all of the correct values on yours.
