22/7 4069
First build of 2022! This is a 4069 version of RunOffGroove’s 22 The original uses the 4049 hex inverter. This the same circuit using the 4069. Both chips contain 6 inverters but the they differ in format and layout. The…
AionFX Quadratron LoveTone Doppelganger clone
I always build three of everything. I got three of these boards when AionFX released them. I built one and gave it away. I’m finally getting the other two finished. This is not straight clone of the Doppelganger it has…
Tim Escobedo’s PWM
Tim Escobedo was this wildly creative force in the early DIY Stomp Box community. His circuit snippets page was had a lot of really great ideas. One of the ideas there was the PWM, which stands for pulse Width Modulation.…
UBE Screamer 4069
This is a version of the UBE Screamer using the 4069 in place of the 4049. Essentially these chips are the same. They both contain 6 inverters. The 4049 is a 16 pin DIP while the 4069 is a 14…
22/7 4069
Here is a version of RunOffGrooves 22/7 using the 4069. The original circuit uses the 4049 Hex inverter. The 4049 is a 16 pin dip with 6 inverters. Here is the 4049UBE data sheet. You can see it has 16…
Another fail!
Here is a UBE Screamer with blend knob. I left a resistor out of the mixer and mixed up the Blend and Gain labels, double fail! As long as I’m going to screw things up I like to go all…
UBE Screamer v2
I made an update to the RunOffGroove UBE Screamer from a suggestion in their notes. This version adds a mix control the blends some of the original signal with the distorted signal. The original uses Rx to set a fixed…
Weston Audio AD110
I built this as a DIY project. They offer it assembled also. It’s a Eurorack adaptation of the drum sounds from the Boss DR-110. All the sounds are analog, not samples. The project comes as three PCBs and a front…
PCBs with pots and LED
I just built a PCB project without the LED taken care of on the board, what a headache! In the old days everything was like that but we have evolved since then! in my most recent projects I have been…
1981 Inventions DRV clone.
Here’s a PedalPCB Informant. This is mostly the Rat circuit with a few changes. The biggest change is the addition of a charge pump. The charge pump provides a +9 and -9 volts power for the circuit to run off.…
Serge Resonant EQ
This is the last piece of musical gear for the year. It’s a fixed filter bank with 10 filters. 8 of the filters are bandpass filters. The highest and lowest bands are high pass and low pass filters. It’s like…
UBE Screamer 1.1.1 build
Built and tested the new version of the UBE Screamer PCB. Everything is working! Sounds great. This is a good alternative to the standard TS-808 and other overdrives if you’re looking for something a little different. Does great low gain…
