Smallest ringmod ever?

Smallest ringmod ever?

there is a 40 page thread on DIYstompboxes with all the 1590A. I stopped reading the thread when they started posting up 6 knob phasers.

[Teej212]

that thread is ridiculous. that one guy built a mesa boogie simulator in there. i think there were 6 knobs on that one

[StudioShutIn]

that 1590A ring-mod intrigues me (there really needs to be a chin-scratch smiley)
Sorta reminds me of those tiny MythFX pedals

reminds me I need to fix my logan 5

Modded COT50 (added master volume and 3 position clipping toggle using LEDs/nothing/BAT42's) > Modded Sonic Titan. Sounds incredible

^ That's something right there.

Hi All. Have not posted here to much yet but I really like the forum. Here are a new batch of Wee Beaver Fuzz pedals. Some are destined for a giveaway next months or so. I will post more details soon. You guys will like this one.
Cheers,
Chris

Edit - Just to mention the pedals will be autographed by Mark & Steve from Mudhoney for the giveaway...

Fun with the powdercoat gun.

Adding a buffer and lights to the VP-JR just for kicks.

Wow! Very impressive. Is that a translucent / transparent powdercoat color? Is that how you got the screenprint (on the VP) to show?

Looks awesome.

Polystyrene caps on a few of those?

I'll bet!

Polystyrene caps on a few of those?

Yes, those are polystyrenes. You can pick up boxes of them at Mouser.
I like the sound of the polystyrenes in some tone applications. If you look closely there is one in the group that has a red wima .0047 instead of the polystyrenes, which are all .0068's. I built all of these a tiny bit different in hope that Mark and Steve will have a chance to play thru them all and give some feedback. I did play thru them all today and each has a noticeable nuance of timbre in the same tone settings. The goofy trick in this pedal is I use a 1M linear tone pot with a 1M resistor across pins 1 & 3 with a 470pf cap between pins 2 & 3. When I was playing around with the design of this pedal (which is a highly modified Os Mutantes fuzz using 2SC1815 transistors) and got to the tone section I found a pot laying here (I guess it was out of necessity I needed a 500k pot for something and had wired this thing up with the above mentioned layout) and popped it in the circuit for fun and it gave it a crazy 'W' type of tone response that goes thick and dark to a zippy type of sound and into a heavy midrange boost at the full clockwise setting. It really makes no sense to me but it is one of those funny mistakes that work I need to make some videos of this version. Dennis Kayser has made a few videos of the version 1 that are on his youtube channel. The version 1 of this pedal was a colorsound one knob fuzz with a BMP tone section based on a thread by Frequency Central Slade on DIYSB but a kid here wanted a louder one so I came up with the new design.
cheers,
Chris

@ Loco: Your Beaver Fuzz looks so cool! Curious how your Mark II sounds. Can we expect something from Dennis in the near future?
@ StupidDream88: I like your new painting style and really look forward for some of your labeled pedals ... also your guts always look so super clean.
@ FrequencyCentral: man you suck is this still a hobby? what are you doing for a living? building spaceships? outstanding!!!
