I've built the board. Currantly awaiting Germanium transistors and pots. Has anyone else here made or used this one. It seems extremely popular and hey if its good enough for Weezer its good enough for me. When i first heard a demo i thought "This one must be broken" or someone got the build...

As part of my ever increasingly difficult pedal project quest I'm looking into making a Tube screamer. Has anyone built one. If so which version, Kit/from scratch Problem and solution and opinions please I'll be building point to point. Not vero or pcb. Any help ?

heres a new one for you. Critiques welcome.

I bought 1000 resistors 100 values of evilbay dirt cheap So far i've spent over 3 hrs sexing them. It doesnt help that i'm colour blind and dont have an auto ranging meter . So i'm checking each against a colur chart then metering them to try to establish there values and write on the little...

Give it to me one more time. For sh1ts and giggles, you asked for it. Badly double tracked. The deacy. Prs guitar. Bit of chorus. lots of treble booster.

I got some batten on the inside today ready to screw the back on. Inset is a plastic backplate for jack sockets/pot for future additions. ie treble booster and direct record pcb Heres the deacy so far with the back on temoporarily. It already sounds better just with the back on. I reckon it...

Just to clarify, it's not wrong relative to the output transformer. The primaries are the wrong way round relative to the secondaries. Your absolutely right. My mistake here you go Please note the wiring on the blue transformer (below pic) needed changing as described earlier.

Heres my first go at recording it. Signal chain MIM strat>Steeno treble booster>Deacy amp>gls es57 dynamic mic> BASF sp52 Tape (15ips) > Daw. No mixing or processing in daw (except edit cuts) straight to Mp3 conversion. Dynamics and distortion achieved soley on guitar volume knob. The tape may...

Ok heres the deal i got a new amp but shoot its loud. Now i could record it at bedroom level but i'm not getting the best tones out of it until its way louder. I was thinking of sticking a 57 infront of it. I'll have to record it when im alone in the house in the day or the wife will freak. I...

I just scored a 10.5" nab of this. Whats your opinion on this tape will it suit my purpose for recording vocals and guitars etc?

one is a referance dynamic mic the other two are omni sdc which do you prefer? Have a guess at what mics they are. The prize is a slap on the back and a high five :thumbs up:

Here goes. I'd appreciate your input on this thanks guys. I just used 2 mics a sennhieser e855 super cardiod and a cheap sdc for both the guitar and vocals. No tape involved just straight to daw.

I finally got the last piece of the puzzle today the cradle made by my bruv in law. Heres a couple of pics. Thanks to everyone that helped me put this project together. I now have the hybrid set up (analogue/digital) that i've wanted for some time.
