Hey all,

I've been tinkering around with making (or trying to make) noise boxes with piezos using different percussive devices, wood, metal, etc. I recall seeing the gut shot from an electro-faustus blackfly, and there was a resistor wired into the circuit, which usually only consists of a piezo, a pot to control volume, and an output. Does anyone have a screenshot they could share or explain why the resistor is wired into the circuit?

The blackfly had a killswitch too I think? They may have put a resistor across it to prevent a dreadfull POP when activated, in certain situations. The drum thing (very similar) has a .1uf filter cap (from the volume ground to output jack ground).

I tried to check my cloud storage to see if I had any pics of it before mods, but I only found one after I had gone as far as possible to make it a total rat's nest. Maybe it can inspire you to go ham, which is something. Fear not failure.

something something sawtooth wave.

Be right back, gotta see if my tetanus shot is up to date.

I'm more ham handed when it comes to a soldering iron, but I'm trying!! Thank you so much for this! As I was looking through your pics I see the resistor attached to the piezo red wire. I think that's what I saw in the original gut shot.
