:joy:


I might be so wrong but - shouldn't the Zvex Machine do something like that? :idea:

Nice, I've been looking for an affordable and easy to use setup to show several kinds of graphics about frequencies, waveforms,... of effects for a very long time (I made a few posts/replies on DIY SB and FSB the last 2 years) to add that info to FXDB.

I would like to build it into a "test bank" for creating the graphics + audio demos...

Someone has got to have a Big Muff to test out there.

Whoa.. ein deutschsprachiger ILF-ler! Grüße aus Österreich! :thumb:
Nun zum eigendlichen Post:

I'm going to pick up the parts for the MOM-D Fuzzler Prototype tomorrow... I will also build it right away so maybe I'll get to it and run your test files through it and send the outcome to you...
Also, I have two more fuzzes in the works so you might get to hear from me more often in the near future :D :hello:

about the fuzzes:
Great! Unique prototypes responses - they are the best! :!!!:

This thread has motivated me to fix my Vintage Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. I have everything I need on the way except pots. What pots should I get? I want it as close to original as possible.

I was hoping I could get the pots from them but they are not on their site. I don't have all the original parts to my Fuzz Face cause when I found it, it had a Jordan Bosstone jammed inside it. In another part of the shop I did find the original Mullard OC71 transistors though. When I have it fully restored to vintage spec I'll take pictures and e-mail in a test file.

I did this Spectrum Analysis in SF of the Exar Squeezer.
Is a graph like that interesting for anyone?

input was a sine wave @444Hz

I'm going to keep sending in test files of pedals as I come across them. I have one to test today. I'd like to see someone test a Devi Ever Hyperion and a Fulltone '69. I know I can borrow a Fulltone '70 from a really good customer of mine. I'm trying to get a hold of a Frantone Hep Cat.

I cant read the graduation on the side of the graph so its almost useless. but it does look like equally spaced harmonics on a logarithmic graph. this usually only happens with even order harmonics aka octaves.

I could scale the pic differently, the question is: is this type of graph useful or not?
