hi there you all
i've seen a presentation video of the zvex jonny octave and i realised that i'm kinda looking for that type of sound...that thing is awesome!!!
so then, i started wondering about putting two octave pedals in series, being the pedal the tim escobedo's pushmepullyou.
now, what i want to know is if this will work or if it's better another pedal. i'm only speaking about this pedal in particular cause i got all the parts around my "bench", so i wouldn't be in need to buy nothing. get it? sorry about this terrible english, must be awful trying to read this
thanks in advance
the circuit in the Jonny Octave involves (something like) a transistor stage driving a transformer into some diodes. This scheme is something you should find easily in a search.
you should also just research octave circuits and compare them. Build (breadboard) a few and see what you like.
Some nice person might put in a link or two -
there are five schemes at General guitar gadgets
and There are five different schemes at GEOFEX - the most notable is R.G.'s MOS doubler - a cleaner octave up
you should definitetly just build what you can with what you have - it won't be the same thing, but you will have something to compare the others with later.
"(something like) a transistor stage driving a transformer into some diodes."
Hmmm, the words Tyco and Brahe sprung to mind when you were describing that Zvex just now ... ;D
