Hey there! I build the effect from this layout. Where it says "Volume 2" on the image, it should've been labelled "Volume 3". Vol 2 is your fx output which is in turn wired to the foot switch. I'm commenting for everyone who will look at this layout and wonder if it actually works. It does. I also added a switch for the octave (since the recently released Octave Clang v2 has one) following the suggestion at the bottom of this page. It works fine.
The volume output from leg 3 of the Level pot is something that Death By Audio does quite a bit. It's not "wrong" per se, just less common.
One of the factors that makes so many of their circuits unique is that Oliver Ackerman started off basically not knowing what he was doing, and coming up with crazy stuff that no electrical engineering class would ever teach.
On my clang I just got the signal before the rectifier section (transformer and diodes) and put it on a switch to bypass it or not. You can have the clang with and without the octave effect then (which I think is mostly what the V2 clang did with the second footswitch).
Hey !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the layout, I've tried that and doesn't worked...Do you have a idea for an Output ? Vol.3 doesn't work :/
take care

The Tagboardeffects layout shows Vol 3 as the effect out. It also looks like Gain 1 and 2 should be swapped.

P.S.: Gain 1 and 2 are labelled correctly. I wired it as is and it works fine - clockwise, as you'd expect.

Reckon a 42TL002 will do? 42TM002 sold out everywhere at the moment
ReplyDeleteSame thing, just a different size I think. I've used a 42TL019 before and it sounded pretty much the same
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find a diagram for adding a second footswitch?
ReplyDeleteTry this one, its a clang with a second footswitch

Thank you. Both clangs sound the same, only the number of pots is different?

DeleteDo you break the circuit after the 4,7 uF capacitor and connect it to the footswitch?
DeletePretty sure I did it after the 4.7u as that acts as DC filtering. Been a while since I did it though.
