Found some Devi Ever circuits in a folder that I had forgotten so I guess there will be a small Devi Ever blowout the nextcoming days...
First out is Ruby, a loud and quite tight fuzz which basically is two cascaded Electra distortions (sans diode clippers). It is definitely worth socketing transistors for this one to try out germaniums or darlingtons...
If more low end is desired, you can increase both of the 10nF caps.
I've loved all my Devi builds so far...
ReplyDeleteSo, it was a rainy boxing day morning and I built this one up.
ReplyDeleteThe circuit works like a charm and fired up first time. The stock sound was a bit too buzzy for my tastes.
But now the experimentation begins....
Sweet! Tagged. Looking forward to hear your experiment report.
DeleteThere is too much noise. Anyone else experience this?
ReplyDeleteSo I've had a play around.
ReplyDeleteI tried a few combinations, but the best sounding were a 2n4401 and a 5088 for the silicon side.
But still a little buzzy. The the 10nf caps got pulled and a pair of 220nf went in.
Still buzzy, but was a move in the right direction as it started to sound sludgy and I likes my thick fat sludge fuzz.
I then found a pair of AC127's in a drawer, popped those in and BOOM.
Sounds like splatty, stoner sludge heaven.
I added a LPB1 booster with a tone control on the end to give it a bit more versatility. That worked, but LOUD so the volume control got moved to the other side of the booster.
And for good measure added a 2N5457 based buffer.
The result, is great. Goes from a slightly splatty overdrive to an insane Doom style fuzz.
Love it, boxed it 😄
Doh,
ReplyDeleteI meant AC176...
Sorry, the others are for another pedal I'm cooking 😄
Also Perfector, I didn't get noise with this circuit, I just got an insane amount of volume.
ReplyDeleteMan that's a completely different circuit now :)
