What pedal would YOU most like to see a project for?

[nelson]

Analog only.

I am finding it hard to come up with ideas for a new pedal project.

I am going to have loads of time after may....

What would you like?

Keep it reasonable, ie no Klon or Hoax.

[Dr Ron]

Currently, I am coveting Bobble Distortion by General Guitar Gadgets (it's only available as a pedal).
The sound clips have that awesome violin-like quality for singing leads.

Microsynth. Someone had done layouts a while back, but I think they were only for 3080s? Also, it'll soak up a lot of that free time ....

That reminds me, I must buy a bundle of 3080's before ROHS.

I lucked out and got 100 from Mouser for $0.50 each or so before they upped the price many months back. I think that's what's known as a 'lifetime buy'.

I think it's a Big Muff Pi.

Yes, I think he says it's an optimized version of the Bug Muff Pi.

I think a separate topic might be about how to optimize a pedal.
Bobble definitely stands head and shoulders about the other Bug Muffs I've heard.

Is it a matter of matched transistors and setting the trim pots correctly?
GGG does sell the Big Muff circuit board.

I'm also thinking that I need more knowledge about capacitor selection.
I noticed two yellow tantalum caps and two non-polarized electrolytics in the TS-808.
The tantalums are in crucial points for tone control.

I second the request for the Microsynth. Other suggestions: Mutron Biphase, Boss VB-1 Vibrato, Queen Triggered Wah (do I have that name right?), any Maestro pedal, particularly the Stage series (the ones with the big foot wheels), any Morley pedal (the foot operated phase and flange or one of the Pic series would be particularly cool).

There, that should keep you busy for a while.

Deacy amp.

......EH Attack Decay-I've been trying this for about a year now!......

[powerplayj]

Was the GGG Meteor ever available as a PCB only or just the completed pedal?  Seems like the info is no longer at Doug Hammond's? site as well.  Always heard the Trainwreck was the Holy Grail of amps along with Dumbles but I would be curious to hear what a the pedal emulation of the TR sounds like.

A/DA Flanger! Have the schematic; the layout is really proving to be a bitch, though. (SAD 1024 version)
Thanx!

Hi.
Analog delay (tape on a DC motor spindle? reverb spring?) flanger.
Kinda like Phil did, but in micro.cheers

[nelson]

Queen Triggered Wah

......EH Attack Decay-I've been trying this for about a year now!...... Huh

Analog delay

These are already on my list. The analog delay being a Boss DM-2. I am trying to find out what mods Mr Huge did to the DM-2 circuit for his delay. I forget the name.....

I think I am going to do the DM-2 first.

I am looking for something really obscure.

The microsynth already has a layout for it. All it would need would be to collect the layouts in a PDF (currently in .PPS format) with perhaps a little explanation and an accurate schematic.

The GGG pedals are all clones. Board layouts available at GGG.

Keep the suggestions coming.

[brett]

Hi.
My request was for a flanger (using analog delay).
Ideas for analog delay: magnetised wire, very short tape loop (around a DC motor spindle?), ionised or magnetic liquid (pumped with a fish-tank pump?), spring (as in reverb tank), short, low-tension guitar string (with coil inducer and hall-effect pickup?), speaker coil current to speaker cone movement (how long is that delay i wonder?).
cheers

serious suggestions.....

[anti-idiot]

serious suggestions.....

MXR Dime Distortion. That'd be great... or the Double Shot.
But i wanna know how the DD works, cos Pantera used to have a very thick sound (like an iron wall)

[RaceDriver205]

We already have a layout for the Microsynth -
