Pictures!

my last build: an analog Octaver with up/down octave (the -1 comes from the boss oc2 and the +1 is the one found in the EH micro synth)

Any schematics? Layouts? PCB transfer? Would love to have that:O

step by step guide to building a fuzz :


do this




then do this




its a 69' pedal with an external bias, cap, and Q1 selector switch mod. The si trans are for testing purposes

Thank you for the detailed build instructions! 

What is the black thing mounted in the square cutout? Panel meter? If so, that's a cool idea.

oh, that's a battery drawer. I got tired of unscrewing the backs and having batteries just kind of flop around in there. I usually just have a battery snap in my pedals as a formality, but seeing as this is a GE fuzz (as in no current draw, special adapter needed etc.) I should just use batteries - and might as well do that with some gusto.

Notice the painted knobs?

Nicely done. I can't wait to get you to paint some of my stuff.

How did you cut the hole for the battery snap? Very slowly with a  drill bit and file or a better way that i cant imagine?

Nicely done! I've been going the battery-less route, no snap, dc jack only, mono input jack... I hate batteries. But yeah, if / when I need to do a battery, I like the drawer.

How do you like the sound of the slow gear sean?

Peace!

i set the trimmer inside the pedal to allow only processed signal. i think it's a blend control for wet/dry. that's actually how i wanted it to function.

there seems to be no discernible volume boost or cut, or tone coloration ( if there is any, it must be very minimal). i set the sensitivity knob about 3:00 o'clock to max depending on picking strength. and zero attack. wow, with a bit of dely i get violin swells FTW!

Very nice!
I'm digging those EH-style knobs, too..

Are both octaves distorted? (Sorry, haven't played an oc-2 nor Microsynth)

[Gila_Crisis]

the octave down is clean, while the octave up is a bit fuzzy sounding, but since it's an analog device you can live with it.

(click for hires)





Hold down the "record" pushbutton, "draw" out an LFO/envilope shape with the "shape" knob (it can be several seconds long), and release the button for it to start looping the shape and modulate the volume of whatever instrument you have plugged through it. AKA "tremolo". Push button agai nto design a new one. Or! Or toggle "punch-in" switch to edit the existing shape with whatever you feel! "smotheness" knob makes it smooth if the waveshape sampling feels a bit too steppy/aliased. It happens if you sample at a very slow tempo and keep it very slow. "speed" accelerates or decelerates the LFO. I forget what "volume" does.

Two LEDs on either side of the bypass switch (under the decals/finish). The one on the right follows your wave "drawing" as well as when it's looping. "firmware upgradeable"

Video sample tomorrow.

wow. where can this be found? very interesting build

hm.... nowhere at the moment. it's mostly done in code.  I can post that if you have access to an AVR programmer

my first scratch build enclosure,fuzz, and vero!!!!! it is a bazz fuss,   the B-fuzz.  lots of debugging!

You bent this up yourself? Even though it's a bit... dinged up, it's very cool. I wish I had the tools to do that.

[Br4d13y]

thanks!!! ya  my dad had some sheet metal lying around, and you know how cheap some of us can get when it comes to enclosures.....

anyway, another thing is that the B is felt, so its fuzzy hahaha
