Jordan Fontaine Overloader

 A contribution drom Jordan Fontaine, sort of a Big Muff on steroids...

 

t's a Big Muff with a bass booster that can be blended in between Q2 and Q3. The overload of low end and volume freaks out Q3. The circuit goes from fairly standard muff to sputtering and gated goodness. I find Sustain and Overload both set around 1 or 2 o'clock gets the best sound. The tone stack is fairly flat. The Mid Shift switch gives back some of the standard scoop and makes full CCW much darker for doomy sounds. The switch ends up being fairly subtle and can easily be omitted. 

The build is verified by both my build and Fuzzonaut who gave it good review.

 Another trace, layout and verification by Jordan Fontaine. A PT2399 based delay but it has a trick upon its sleeve that I haven't seen elsewere, the Slam switch.

 Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Sprinklesounds Mot(not)onous

 Here is a contribution from Jordan Fontaine, a modified Mid-Fi Clarinot)

 

Modded Midfi Clari(not)

This was a fun project to delve into. I certainly didn’t stay true to the short delay, tape warble aesthetic. The delay still does that sound but now it can run wild too. Very versatile now for rockabilly, dub, shoegaze etc.

Delay time is extended and feedback added to extend beyond a single repeat. 

The trimmer sets the threshold for runaway repeats to taste.

I borrowed the blend for Midfi’s Pitch Pirate so there are more sounds available here. 

If you have runaway repeats happening and dial the blend close to dry it almost sounds like a scratchy record under your playing.

The fuzz control from the original has been removed to add to the ‘clean’ sound of the pedal. Although the longer repeats will add noise and clip as well. 

Where the crazy comes in is the external mounted LDR. The second footswitch engages the LDR and affects the Delay control as you interfere with the light in front of it. The Offset control allows for the light to make dramatic or subtle changes to the time. This is easily omitted if you're not interested in it. 

 

Seppuku Fx/Jordan Fontaine Memory Lapse

 Another contribution by Jordan. Thanks mate!

I was playing with the Seppuku Fx Memory Loss that you had posted and made some adjustments for more versatility. The schematic we all have to work from is so sketchy I thought people might enjoy a thorough series of mods to it.

First off I added a Mix control. It could probably be done better and would love to hear suggestions. 

The C Taper for Stability gives easier adjustment over where the latch up occurs in playing dynamics. 

I set values at the Filter control. The on/off/on gives a clean delay, dirty repeats and very dirty repeats. If you placed a 1u in either C2 or C3 it creates a totally nuts fuzz.

I set components around the feedback and surge control to taste. 

The increased Time pot is for longer delay times, why wouldn't we want longer delay times?!

I 86'd the switch for the LM386/Pins 1 & 8. I'm not going to use it but it wouldn't be hard for someone to wire it in.

The layout is not verified. It is the result of fixing the board I built from my original layout. 

Hopefully no one minds a few diagonal caps.

 Another contribution by Jordan Fontaine!

Schematic is avaible HERE.

This on is verified and good to go.

T-Rex Mudhouny + Green Ringer

 Jordan sent me a layout and of course it qualifies as an entry on the blog. Still unverfifed, though.
