Anyone seen the twang effect schematic?

[Harry]

I remember seeing a schematic somewhere for a 'twang' effect can't remember the name of it though. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

MartyB had a Twang-A-Matic vero layout somewhere....
Ah! here is one. Twang-A-Matic "cool name"   http://www.freewebs.com/martyb/twangamatic.htm
I don't know if this is what your looking for, but I will have to try that one out sometime

That's the one! Thanks Darkseid. Yeah curious looking schematic, need to try it. Anyone has tried this one?

Just curious if anyone has built this?   Would like to know if it works and what it sounds like.

Thanks!

I've sort of given up on it.  I built one  - its an easy build but it wasn't impressive.  It needs something.    What would be cool is to develop some more of those twangy,jangley type effects.  I really like the Hammer woody/compressor combination idea.  Still working on a new layout for the revised Woody.

Hmmm, the circuit diagram and description don't look or sound very 'twangy' to me. I think of twangy as more Byrds Rickenbacker clean-guitar-with-mid-hump, as you might get with an op-amp low-Q bandpass filter - something along the lines of a Dan Armstrong circuit with a colour followed by a word like 'peaker', 'humper' or 'sh*gger' in the title.

So is it just a simple treble boost?

Also "Jingly"...

I agree with you MartyB, this would be a cool avenue to ride down!

Peace!

Most definately would be. My thoughts on it are that the jangle, twang, etc should mostly come from the guitar and the effect should only emphasive or isolate the frequencies that the twang dwells in.
