Did you see this one?:


What aspect of the pedal do you mean? Do you mean the expression pedal part of it, or just a picture of the enclosure in general?

The picture shows generally how the expression part works - it is a slider with a hoop attached and a wire that runs from the pedal part through the hoop.

The moving pedal part itself has a hinge underneath, allowing it to rock up and down.

If you want something else, let me know more specifically what you want to see.

Hope that helps!

I don't see the part of the expresion pedal: the slide pot; please can you made a detail how to construct that??? thanks a lot; your knobs are very nice!!!!

[flintstoned]

It'd be easier to just use a standalone expression pedal and wire in the jack for it. I'm still holding out for a lfo for it!

[GodSaveMetal]

Great I'm seen for that ifo!!! thanks a lot my friend I want to make that especial pedal!!!!!

[GodSaveMetal]

Here is a first PCB for this pedal I made it with DIY layout Creator program v.1; I correct some mistakes in your perboard version; based in your scheme here is the layout:


Top Top it is correct?; if you want I reply you by mail the DIY archive!!!!

[Top Top]

What were the errors? I built it based on that layout and don't remember anything wrong with it, but it has been a while now, so I may have fixed something when building it and forgot to update the layout.

As for the pedal - it is a really specific construction based on parts I had on hand (including cabinet hinges that I had), but here is another pic of the pedal specifically:

[GodSaveMetal]

I've made a new layout numbered the pot lugs and assumed that the pots are not backwards these are:


Top Top these are the right way; your layout had the mistake of the position of the pots; we are only humans!!!!! please more photos of how to make the pedal; the linear pot of the sweep more details please it very interesting and special sound of these pedal!!!! I want to make me one!!!! tanks you are my inspiration!!!!!

[Top Top]

Ah, right, I can never remember how the pots should appear in a drawing - if they are shown from the top or the bottom, etc...

As for the pedal, I really don't know what to add. The construction of that particular pedal was really specific to the parts I had on hand. A lot of it is just junk or surplus or salvaged from other things. The hinge is a cabinet hinge and the pedal platform itself is made out of some weird surplus material that is plastic between two thin layers of aluminum. The enclosure is from an old electronic doorbell!

See where I am going here? Giving a tutorial on building a pedal with these materials doesn't really make any sense, because who is going to be able to come across them again?

The slider is 10K, but I got it from a surplus store and have no idea if it is linear or what?

My best suggestion is to build it and do some experiments to rig up a pedal. The electronics are all there to get the sound, you just need to figure out how you are going to take care of the expression pedal part of it.

Otherwise, use an old wah shell or other expression pedal and put your own pot in it if it isn't the correct value already. There are many possible ways to rig up an expression pedal.

Why not use some of those extra inverters for a distortion? like the llama or the double d from ROG?
You'll have a lot more harmonics to filter

OK Top Top you give me some greats ideas; I will see out other forms for the expression pot already a wha enclosure it's great!!!! thanks!!!!!

topten,
thanks mate for the info on this...i found it on your site earlier, and was curious how ya made the exp pedal, but now i understand it. i dug the video demo, it sounds a lot like the ludwig phase II i just restored!
looking forwards to building one mate...well done!
peace!
