Build Report: Burning Crunch (improved Krank D M)

[jimosity]

I don't have any 330n caps laying around right now, can I use something else?
If so, what?
Would .47 be too far off?

you can use the tonestack calculator from AMZ and configure the tonestack to 470n caps

Hey! I'm planning to start with this stomp, but i dont have the exact pots. can i use 22k instead of 25k?

btw, whats the difference beween your version and the http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/v/mnordbye/layouts/Krank+Distortus+Maximus.gif.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1

im planning to build the other version and with pots 22k 45k 1M and 250k, do i have to change anything?

[audioguy]

yes, i tried it boosted with a microamp, and sound incredible, very much like paul gilbert, extremely sensitive and clear...

Did you use the micro amp in front of the Burning Crunch as is, or did you use the microamp instead of the treble boost portion of the pedal before the 386?

Thanks!

i used it before the pedal..

[audioguy]

I might try that, thanks!

Hope my breadboard will arrive soon and I manage to get the missing parts, this sounds really sweet! Do you have a 1to1 schem for the PCBs on side 1 you might like to share? I think it would make working this out on breadboard easier...otherwise I ll manage it from the PCBs I guess

[dorothegreat]

you really have an awesome build there.

btw, can we have a the actual size of pcb transfer?

or maybe the resize factor of the pcb you posted?

thanks!

hi, im sorry, but, do you think it is possible that you make me a pcb of this but for use with an DPDT? thanks you a lot... here i cant get the 3dpt...

Umm, the offboard wiring is independent of the PCB - you can use the PCB on page 1 with either a DPDT or 3PDT without modification.

thanks, but... how? is there a diagram or something?

[Brymus]

What happened to the schematic for this ?
Can someone post one ? as I have a hard time reading layouts.
Or a list of the changes other than the scaled tonestack.
And whats up with the DUI schematic ?
Is that the booster that goes in front of the Krank DM ?
Sorry for the dumb questions I read this thread 3 times and am just not getting it...

DS that sweet child clip nailed Slashes tone !!!! You always hear "I got his tone down " and then you listen and are like HMMM
But really that sounded amazing.

[dschwartz]

OH!! i´m sorry guys! looks like i overwrote the schem with the DUI one..
i don´t have the schem on this computer..i´ll try to remember to upload it again..
anyway, the PCB is verified, you can trace down the schematic from there..or just build it as is..

So, I built it, and Yeah great project!
But I think you should pdf this one. Its a real compfort to get the full project as a pdf for exaple Dr Boogey. You dont have to archive multiple files. Builders dont have to search multiple pages to get the taste of it. And a PCB image as a ready to transfer would be super cool!
I will penefit to it and add part list.

[dschwartz]

FWIK, LM386-1,2,3,4..i dunno about other chips that will work there..

Guys! Is this box capable of some really heavy tones?

And will this buffer suit the output of the thing?
http://www.muzique.com/news/wah-pedal-buffer/

And one other question.. I want to put RedRanger in one box with BC. Should I put it before or after BC?

[meffcio]

Can anyone answer, please?

[Ibanezfoo]

Depends what you mean by heavy... to me, it sounds like a cranked crunchy Marshall.  Go to dschwartz website and check out his clips, they are pretty good.
