shoctave octave down

[scaesic]

i downloaded a pcb for this off one of the threads on here but mistakenly, i don't have a layout.

Anyone got it?

Or maybe you are looking for a schematic:

The Shocktave is a good one. Consider also John Hollis' Crash Sync - it gets a nice octave down, too.

please forgive me here, i dont know if these questions are stupid or not! in the layout, there is a component named a "jumper", can anyone tell me what this is? also, in the schematic, there are two components, one measuring at 10uF and the other at 1uF, could you tell me what this is please?

cheers!

That's just a wire connecting those two points.

Those are electrolytic capacitors.

a jumper is just a peice of wire (the legs from allready soldered components that you have cut off work pretty well)

the 10uf and 1uF are electrolytic capcitors, one 10 microfarads and the other 1 microfarad. These capacitors are polarized which means they only work in one direction (however, because of this you can get much larger values in smaller packages)

Build the roctave!
hear the clip under "New FX Demos", at www.tothemax.web1000.com
It works hella good!

woah! speedy replies! i wasnt expecting anything for days, that's great cheers!

ive actually not even got round to building my first pedal yet, im reading up loads before i start (i'll go from the beginers project to be sure). can you tell me how difficult octavers are for building? in comparison to other pedals?

cheers

I think the easiest way to start is buy a pre-made pcb board from someone like http://www.generalguitargadgets.com or http://www.tonepad.com.

This way it should be much easier. Even now that I have built dozens of pedals, I still always prefer to buy a pre-made board if its available.

Just my 2 cents.
