sunn buzz schem and pics!!! Need a bit of help with parts sourcing...

[runmikeyrun]

I recently received the schematic and some pics of the Sunn Buzz, a small LPB type effect that plugs into your guitar's output jack.  How much difference in sound do you think i will have if i sub the 2N2923 for say a 2N5088 or 2N3094?  I found the 2N2923s at kelvin.com for 0.75/ea so i think i might just order them.  I would like the pedal to be as close to the original sound as possible.

I would also like to use a 9v instead of AA to power it... instead of doing the math on it, should i just build it with a AA, then measure voltages and adjust the resistors accordingly?

Thanks, and enjoy the schem/pics!  Also if anyone else has built one feel free to chime in with any tips or tricks.  I am going to make it TB but that is the only "mod" i was going to perform.

That looks very cool! It couldn't hurt to drop any NPN in there, but I couldn't tell you how much difference there would be. I kinda want to breadboard this guy

What's the advantage to powering it with a 9v vs. a AA?

Thanks, and enjoy the schem....

I always enjoy my schematics....
What I don´t enjoy is when the quality is made poor and when one of my (copyrighted) schematics is placed on photobucket by somebody else especially when my schematics are available for free on the net:

(more schematics here: http://analogguru.an.ohost.de/ )

and when this should be well known even in this forum:

Maybe this is the schem that should be used then

geez...

hey brother, i apologize... i didn't know that was your name on there... removed and sorry for any trouble!

It says - no suitable nodes available to service your request - ??
I would like to see your schematics,especially now that they seem so special.

I dont think he meant any disrespect/infringment,as he got the schematic already doctored from another site,and promptly removed it at your request.

  The Sunn buzz stock is a little underwhelming. The output cap is tiny. You'll definitely want to have another larger cap switchable on it.

Also it might serve to prevent further unnecessary conflicts if you would ask Aron to include your Sunn schematics in this thread.
http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=60421.0
Your name or company name does not appear there, so the poster was unaware of your previous request.
That does not excuse copyright infringment,nor am I endorsing such.
I am simply suggesting a way to prevent further conflicts.
YMMV

[Top Top]

I mean this in the most sincere, least sarcastic way, so please don't take it as attacking, because it is not.

Why is it such an issue when the schematic is just a copy of the original schem anyway, meaning it is not your design, but just a re-drawn schematic? Is it even possible to copyright a re-drawn schematic?

With all due respect here sir, and understanding that you are correct about the treatment of your own work, I think the OP could really use your help here and it seems your only concern in this, and at the other posting about the sunn buzz is about your intellectual rights. Your work is published online, and is likely as easily misused as any number of publicly available work. It's inevitable, unappreciated by you and us. The only option I see  if you'd like it not to be mishandled is to not post it online.

All that said, I think the OP could use your help, seeing as you're probably the most familiar with the circuit of all of us. I've recently joined this site because I like being a part of communities that support and work together in their hobbies and activities. I think you have a lot to add for people like me, and perhaps the original poster as well. With all due respect, I would like to ask you to please help us out instead of merely complaining when the inevitable abuse to your schematic occurs. You of course have the right to note it, ask for it to be repaired, but to only do so isn't helping us out.

hey guys, no big deal!  I appreciate the suggestion on the output cap, i'll socket it and see if i like it the way it is.

Hey runmikerun,

I would certainly like to hear how this one comes out. I have been curious about this circuit and have not built it yet, so please let us know. It probably won't sound right at 9v though. It should be easy to build with AA's, right?
Anyhoo, good luck!

[gigimarga]

I am very curious how it sounds, too...

[runmikeyrun]

I plan on building it at 1.5v first, measuring voltages at each collector, then using a resistor to drop the 9V down to 1.5.  I think the current draw of the circuit is minimal enough that it won't burn through batteries.

> Is it even possible to copyright a re-drawn schematic?

You can't copyright the circuit.

Copyright sure as heck exists in the drawing.

Your child draws a tree. Child didn't invent trees, or the idea of drawing a tree. Yet Child has Copyright in creation  of the work of art. While a child's tree-drawing typically has "no value" except to doting parents, copyright does not depend on value. And if Toyota somehow used child's tree-drawing to sell cars without talking to Child or agent, that's grounds for legal action (this is where it gets totally murky).
