Umble Circuit - Seems to have serious design flaws

[Transmogrifox]

Somebody spilled coke in my lap.  Think there's time to go home and change before the show?

[deadastronaut]

if your quick...

got my beers in ready...

[287m]

you dont have to please the audience...just yourself. if others like or dislike, thats fine..

There is a lot of work that goes into formatting and organizing a project that is shared with the community/public.  The fishing for "is anybody interested?" is well justified in determining whether the extra effort will be widely appreciated enough to be worthwhile.  I get this.

As for the public challenge to ROG I think others have said enough -- I don't have any desire to fuel the flame. 

Just so nobody is guessing where I stand on the issue, I have come to have a genuine respect and appreciation for ROG over the years of being involved in this forum. 

It is true it's a catch-22 about revealing your credentials, so unless you really are a noob you have to pick the lesser of the 2 evils.  I (I hope I have finally learned this for myself) would rather be considered a noob than one of these:

(for those of you not from West Coast United States, that is the Stone Brewing Company "Arrogant Bastard" Ale trademark..damn good beer too, by the way...if I am what I drink, so be it). 

I have long been waiting for the the ultimate DUMBLOID pedal design...can't wait! 

I'm also looking forward to what comes out of this, but please start a new thread in a few weeks when you have finished.  With all these pages it's going to be hard for anybody to get to the meat of the project itself.

OOT : that Arrogant Bastard pict maybe good for etch the finished dumbloid clone

SOrry to necro this but, what ever happened?... did this turned into something tangible at least in schematic snippet or was it all "vaporware" ?

Nope, nothing ever happened. Apparently OP discovered talking about circuits is a lot easier than designing and building them.

I got almost as excited as when I see a new post in the Burst Box thread that something happened here 

[duck_arse]

what's this? the umble's been fixed? at last! where's the [new, improved, flaw-free] circuit?

I think the final consensus was that the ROG circuit is fine. I've never had any problems with ROG stuff and I don't see why ROG's design will explode or poison your dog.

[bloxstompboxes]

My dog died from ruptured gall bladder a couple of years ago and this circuit existed back then. He seriously did. But, could the poison from this circuit have done it? Do I have a case?

[garcho]

Does anyone how I can build a circuit box with a burst button switch.

[deadastronaut]

^ yes of course , heres the schematic


in.............switch/burst................out.

you might want to add a few resistors, caps, trannies etc..

but you get the drift..

HI, I don't thing the switch will work because i want to run a mic through 1 effect pedal then a guitar through another effects pedal (the pedals are hand operated) look at diagram

(EFFECTS PEDAL)----------(circuit box with a burst button switch)----------(EFFECTS PEDAL)
                                           
                         (THE CIRCUIT BOX IN BETWEEN TO PEDALS SO THE SINGAL PASSES THROUGH TO THE AMP

                                                |
                                         (AMPLIFIER)

wait a minute, "the pedals are hand operated"? what sort of hipster bicycle is this?



the temptation proved too much. I blame wavley

[wavley]

It seems that we may have crossed the streams.

[garcho]

OK, What about the building a circuit box?

[bool]

Pop corn anyone?

Pop Korn anyone?

[duck_arse]

crossed streams, yeah. DA (the other), I'm not really getting your dia, maybe you should start a new thread so's you can explain it better [ .... he ducks out of the way].

[deadastronaut]

^   try it without the switch in the middle..

it should be utterly pointless then.

[garcho]

A kill switch kills your guitar, I don't want that

[wavley]

Me neither, I want something that makes my guitar louder and more Umble-like.
