Title: easy uni-vibe? lovepedal magicboy trace?
Post by: ulysses on September 16, 2006, 06:09:02 AM
hey guys

im looking to make a uni-vibe sounding pedal in a compact enclosure.

i listened to the love pedal magicboy demos and they sound really nice.

anyone know how he managed to get that sound into a small form factor box?

anyone got a trace of it or a similar uni-vibe sounding circuit that is not to complex?

cheers

as far as making an easy univibe type pedals goes just look at John Hollis' EasyVibe http://www.hollis.co.uk/john/circuits.html (I think theres a PCB layout on geofex.com)

hey ulysses

i believe the lovepedal magic boy is a phase 45 with a univibe mode.

Exactly.
I marked in red the 6 differences between the magicboy and the Phase 45.
Quite funny, in the Magicboy PCB you can read "(C) 2004 JD Sleep"...

Those two 0.01 caps should be a 10:1 ratio for a vibe effect (ie 0.01 and 0.1).

i thought it looked a little strange.. is the phase45 a 2 phase phaser or 3? ive been reading up on univibing phasers and they all document modding a 4 phases. perhaps the phase90 is more suitable for modding into a vibe?

Try it the way I posted the schematic.
I traced it personally and built a new one... It's like that.

I don't recall JD ever offering a Phase 45 board. Did I miss something?  ???

JD builds pcbs for some of the pedal builders.
