Hohner Clavinet D6 and Fender Rhodes with fuzz pedals

Versiones mejoradas del Tubescreamer 9 y el OCD v3. Todo en uno. Si mal no recuerdo, el TS tenía aumento de ganancia y clipeo asimétrico, mientras que el OCD incluye el clásico switch HP/LP y clipeo con LEDs, lo que le da un sonido muy radical que lo convierte casi en un octavador.

 

Realizado en un acabado swirl en azul, celeste y blanco y con gráficos negros. Funciona con fuente de poder de 9v o batería del mismo voltaje.

The Stomp Box is a wooden board or box which a musican (usually guitar or banjo player) taps with their feet to enhance the rhythm. They can be solid or have an acoustic chamber. A microphone is often placed above the board/inside the box They go by a variety of other names - e.g. stomp drum, foot drum, or porch board, and were originally used by American Folk and Blues performers. They can be home made or, with more sophisticated version, manufactured for the purpose. The term Stomp Box is also sometimes applied to the Pedal Boards electric guitarist use to obtain a variety of effects.

 

Whilst many Stomp Boxes are just an object the musician has found, there are also commercially available versions. The one in this photo is made by the Australian company Wazinator and consists of a timber pad has a hollow chamber.

 

Stomp Boxes are assigned the number 111.24 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:

1 = Idiophones. Sound is primarily produced by the actual body of the instrument vibrating, rather than a string, membrane, or column of air.

11 = Struck Idiophones. These idiophones are set in vibration by being struck.

111 = Directly Struck Idiophones. The player himself executes the movement of striking; whether by mechanical intermediate devices, beaters, keyboards, or by pulling ropes, etc.

111.2 = Percussive idiophones. The instrument is struck either with a non-sonorous object (hand, stick, striker) or against a non-sonorous object (human body, the ground).

111.24 = Percussion vessels.

Every few years, kids with instruments discover the Nuggets box set and other lo-fi garage rock, form a band and try their hand at it. This was our attempt.

 

I can't remember what we called ourselves nor how we even landed a gig here (none of us were 21), but we did all have excellent red instruments and skinny ties.

I put this together to help me wire guitar stompboxes correctly. With this layout the circuit is not engaged until a 1/4" mono plug is inserted into the input jack. This is 100% true bypass with the circuit input being shunted to ground when the stomp switch is disengaged.

 

This layout makes the most sense and causes the least amount of clutter in the enclosure. It does rely on having room for three ground wires to the circuit PCB, but this makes more sense than routing ground wires all over the place.

I hadn't actually tried the new amp with pedals until today. I was still getting used to how much I loved it all by itself.

 

Man, there is nothing like a Marshall Plexi (well, or facsimile thereof) as a stompbox platform.

 

That Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver feels like it should be built into the head. It works with the existing tone extremely well.

 

BTW, yes I've been using the Power Scaling. Even set like this, the guitar will start to feed back as soon as I'm not muting the strings.

 

I've reached a point of comfort with the Zero Point flanger where I like to just leave it on. It's like a tiny little bit of modulation that makes me happy. I mean, I still step on it sometimes for a whoosh of flange-y-ness, but mostly I just leave it idling and screwing up the signal a little.

 

Just in time for Thanksgiving, I'm really thankful for the sound of this rig. I mean, there's not a lot to it, but it does pretty much everything I want to hear. Although I still need to find a wah that doesn't suck. I'm told those exist.

Very simple passive circuit - just a 3pdt switch and 6 jacks. The schematic is here: www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/PedalHacker/OrderSwitcher.htm

 

Plug in two stompboxes, and it routes the signal either a -> b, or b -> a. Often there's a huge difference in sound, so it's fun to play with.

Hope you don’t mind, but I just want to gush for a little while about the rad DIY musician/tinkerer/inventor community and all the knowledge they share. Sure, some of these people are selling a product, but they are real people with passions just like mine that want to help out as well - offering solutions, providing documentation and taking time to answer questions.

I’ve built 4 silicon Fuzz Factory pedals now. They seem to keep slipping away so I’m fastening this one down because it’s too much fun.

This time I used an awesome PCB from Osh Park that has pads for 9mm or 16mm pots. Super cool.

I also used a Lumen optical bypass board from Grind Customs FX. While I’m still happy to use 3PDT switches, the Lumen uses a DPDT that is easier to push down, which is nice considering all the barefoot playing I do these days. I’m also hoping this setup keeps the oscillations from possibly bleeding through in bypass.

Aion Electronics has a sick 8 knob Fuzz Factory PCB. I used their documentation to make sure I got my Thin/Thick (they call it Body) control just right. I’ve messed around with tone options on previous Factory builds and I think Aion gets it right.

Love or hate them, I got my enclosure from Tayda Electronics - it came powder coated flat black. I appreciate this option since painting has never been my strong point. Finish quality was fine, though if you’ve ever used flat black you know how easy it is to mar.

One thing I added to my build was a momentary switch that sends a 4.7uf electrolytic capacitor from the point where your 100nf cap meets the Base of the second transistor in the circuit (normally the first germanium in the signal path) to ground. (Positive side to transistor/capacitor, negative to ground) This adds so much more randomness to the pedal. Octave drops, clicks, tone shifts, oscillation without the Stab knob being turned, shutting off the oscillation, tremolo-like muting while tapping it and more. It all depends on where your other knobs are set. Inspiring and frustrating. Write down your settings or just go with the flow of the electrons.

The Sitar Swami guitar pedal is included in the so called Miscellaneous Series Effects released in 2001 by Danelectro. It is built in a robust die cast enclosure with flower child graphics. It has two adjustment knobs, JFET switching and runs on 9V.

The 39th Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival took place this weekend down at Bannerman Park. I was given a photo pass for the weekend and i spent quite a bit of time down there experiencing more acts than I could keep track of. It was a great festival.
