Or post at a sensible size 

[darron]

it's a distortion (:

got any clips? i've been interested in making something like this. though you've got some great macro detailed pics, it would be better if i could see how you connected the tape head a bit better.

I'm just wondering who here has a 48" monitor to view those pics on??

i wondered the same thing!

The Bullitt Tube Tremolo by The Tone God.

Built with mini-turret P-t-P amp-like layout.

Build report to follow.

OH, MY GOD 

[Papa_lazerous]

Pushtone thats a thing of beauty!!  also not too many components inside either, me thinks I will have to follow the link and have a look at what I need to be able to build one.  GOOD JOB

I love how it has op-amps and tubes in the one circuit.  It's mojo and anti-mojo balancing out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a quick look at the schematic says that the op-amp isnt in the signal path at all.  Half is a voltage referance, and the other half is part of the LFO.  No anti-mojo for that.

Here's my new creature,
turned up as nice as i visualised, so, i love it!











its a Phase45, including jc. mods, which makes for a superb phaser

i did it for a friend who's a fan of the beatles, so you get from where's the name 

on bass sounds rad, i think i've never seen bass samples of a phase45, so i'll make one or two

[gutsofgold]

anyone know where i can get those jacks? the outsides of them look really finished.

My last one...  relay controlled volume pedal... sits in effects loop of the amplifier, and is used to switch between normal volume and solo volume. Can be switched with the switch on the pedal, as well as plugging in another latching footswitch (to keep this box close to the amplifier, but the switching on the pedalboard)

Painted by a friend...

i like the paint job on it

kinda looks like gnarls barkley video which i also like..

They are Cliff (or Cliff style). Mouser probably has them if not these guys do http://www.tubesandmore.com/

definetly not! just for making weird noises

yes please explain this tape head! how do you use it? it looks like a great idea

the tape head is the little transducer thingy in cassette tape decks that pics up the sound from the magenetic tape, it has little connections on the back of it. I removed it, figured out what were the ground connections (usually a few of connections connected by one wire or whatever, the ones that are seperately connected are usually the signal wires) and so on, soldered the connections to some shielded wire, which went to the 386 "pre-amp"

i was thinking of removing the direct connection bettween the tape head and the circuit and replacing it with an input jack, and wiring a socket to the tape head instead, therefore i could put other effects and stuff before the circuit, and so on

it's a distortion (:

got any clips? i've been interested in making something like this. though you've got some great macro detailed pics, it would be better if i could see how you connected the tape head a bit better.

i can make clips, better yet, ill do a video its some fun to play with, real horrorshow for making weird noises. I would recommend doing it the easy way, but just removing the tape head from a tape deck, and re wiring it back to the tape deck with some shielded cable, instead of make a whole pre amp circuit and such.
like this guy did with his "tape canvas"

also
here is a nice tutorial about how to make a tape deck distortion
it shows the like, connections on the tape head and such

So cool!

any soundclips? I still have a tremolo on my to do list, but I was thinking of the tremulus lune. Or is this better

Fuzz for a buddy.

My First Etch
Still experimenting a bit, could have etched a little deeper, but overall I'm very pleased 
It is going to contain a ROG Omega (hence the fat fish ...), kept the original control labels.

Not very exotic, but here is my latest pedal build, a ge buffer:
