Heyya! So I'm making a pedal that has a timmy circuit in it ( http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X-FXRN3YBpk/T ... +Timmy.png ) , and I want to simplify the circuit by removing the dpdt switch for clipping. (I never use the clipping options in the timmy I have.). If I want to get rid of the clipping, do I just solder the two black and white dots where the switch normally goes together? Thanks
It works! Sounds great too! It's a timmy overdrive + JHS mini bomb. I only have one question: I used a 4pdt toggle switch to do order switching on the dual pedal, so I can have the boost before or after.... The only problem is.... I can't tell when it's before or after haha. I can tell a sound difference but it's hard to say. The toggle moves perpendicular to the switching so no help there. I do notice while both are on, in one setting, I have the pedal A LOT louder. Does this mean that the boost is after the OD? I honestly can't tell haha. All I know is that one setting with both on is louder than the other. Any Boost/OD experts can help me?
When I've done 2in1 pedals I've noticed that the volume in the previous pedal acts like a gain control and the volmue in the pedal after acts like a volume. When the order is switched the properties will change.
I figured out the toggle problem but I get a weird sort of hissing/ scratchy bleed through on it when chords or notes ring out. Now, I did put both a bomb boost and a timmy into a 1590b, so is it possible that the small enclosure is allowing for too much inductance? Help I have another timmy with a boost in a BB and the problem is a lot less noticeable. do I have a bad cap possibly? or what's wrong? Thanks
