You can tag this one as verified - sounds pretty cool and useful! Blend pot feels a bit weird at low settings, but I havent even looked at the demos or an original. Thanks!
hey man thanks for the layout. I can verify this one as well but the blend doesn't seem right as mentioned above. The effect turns into a thick fuzz when the blend control is turned fully anti clockwise- last 5% of the sound changes drastically. I'm not an expert when it comes to layouts/schematics but from looking at the schematic seems like the 300k and 10nf need to be swapped around? Also went read through the pedalpcb forum and looks like the 10nf connected to 300k should be 100nf? It's a great sounding pedal so would love to get this one working correctly. Thanks again
I built this last week. The one thing that does need to be changed on this layout are the Sweep connections. It's shown here that lugs 2 and 3 are connected, but this makes the Sweep work in reverse from the original pedal - i.e., you go from "Toe to Heel" over the Sweep range, whereas it should be "Heel to Toe" (like a real Wah). To correct this, on row M, it should be Sweep 1&2, and on row O, it should just be Sweep 3. In the PedalPCB schematic, you will also see that Sweep lugs 1 & 2 are connected.
Other than that, this pedal sounds great. Yes, that first 5% turn of the Blend control sounds funky, but you'd never use the pedal down at that range anyway, as you're pretty much eliminating the effect if you're blending it all the way out. Works best with Blend in the 50-100% range.

ReplyDeletejust for ref- I watched videos of the original and the blend def doesn't do this.
ReplyDeleteYou're right that blend three needs to have the 10n and 330k swapped, they're definitely backwards as presented here
ReplyDeleteok cool thanks for clarifying. I tried swapping them and added the 100nf instead of 10nf but same issue with the blend control..

DeleteOk... omit my previous comment, 10n cap(c1) is the right value just swap it with the 300k (r1) and I think blend 3 and 1 are inverted here.
DeleteHas the layout for this been updated with the corrections mentioned in the comments?
ReplyDeleteAnyone? Is the layout above correct?
