bro you're awesome! would love to know if you can do a variation of this mod on a 2 knob guitar. I have a squire mustang and was thinking would be awesome to something like this. But I don't really know if it would work because it's only two knobs volume and tone. If you have any idea please let me know! Thanks
@@Ale-ry9qf hallo😀 it depends on how willing you are to mod the pickguard because you can add another pot and just have 3 controls, or you could make a smaller switch that will add the distortion if you want to. But if you don't want to change the look of your guitar by drilling holes in it you could either turn the tone pot into a dis pot (likw I did) or you could wire this up in a box 👍😉👍
I have the lm386 and an old klon enclosure and want to build a lm386 as boost to a switch dpdt with distortion and another switch with Fuzz. So the fuzz and distortion can be off, on the boost only part of the circuit. But when the first switch is changed it has clipping diodes. The next switch gives fuzz and distortion or using the first switch fuzz and boost lm386 only. Ya dig 😂 Any hints
You can add a _potentiometer_ after the *2 inverted diodes* to kinda have a "distortion" control knob. And even try that with the other components. Juste an idea I thought of, I should try it myself...
*The Psychotenuse* made a "blank state pedal" to try different things, based on a TDA2030. Same kind of experiment. -> kzread.info/dash/bejne/on-M0dKgccKuo9I.html
@@poykehmusic oh yeah I think I have seen it before 🤔 I wanna make something similar at some point but my own way😀
@@poykehmusic there is a distortion control already
Hej, hur mår du? At 23:30 when you put masking tape on the wires do you *connect* or *isolate* them? _(it's not clear)._ Cause if you connect them that makes a direct link between pin 6 of the IC and the ground... But I don't think it would work. So this may be a stupid question...
Yeah sorry no the tape is there so nothing is connecting to then and they are not connecting to each other 👍 jag mår bra bara trött 😊 själv?
@@zurowetz I'm "holiday tired"😀: Going to bed late, waking up early, making hundreds of things...
Nice one. At first I was like noooooooo don't connect it their! not enough signal to cause the clipping. Then OK ya good one to show.
@@MrAaroncissell haha sorry to scare you 😉😆
I use the same model as you, and I want to use a Tremolo with a whammy bar. How deep do I have to dig out to use it? Also, you have the same left-handed guitar as me, so isn't it uncomfortable to insert the bar into the right-handed Tremolo? (It’s translated, ily from south korea❤❤ I hope you could reply)
@@W33dSmok3 hallo 😀 it's not uncomfortable maybe because I'm used to playing right handed flipped for left handed and the trem is so far back it isn't in the way for my hand but if I could find a nice left handed one I would switch to it when it comes to how deep you should go down into it, just a little bit more that what your trem is but 2 mm or so is enough 🙂 hope this helps 👍😀👍
i tried everything still has terrible hum from these hotrails amazon shyte i see one guy did the same no noise or hum on his on mine too much when i put the tone volume up if down no noise and most noise on the first switch not sure why
@@kicikocani1 have you tried poting the pickups one reason why pickups are noisy is something inside is vibrating with the strings and and sometimes even if the pickups look like they have wax on them it just on the surface and not deep inside
@zurowetz i try that one now maybe should also re wire it with new wires also
@@kicikocani1 maybe if it seems like there might be something wrong with the wiring 🙂
@@zurowetz thanks mate
@@kicikocani1 👍🙂👍
OMG Guitar DESTROYED!!! (LOL JK) I am not a relic lover, BUT, mostly because it is a bullshit thing that manufacturers do to up the price. I am all for you making your guitar fit your likes. My daughter took color Sharpie to her acoustic and drew all over it. I keep asking if she wants to clear coat over it. "NO, I can clean it off with ISO and redo it if I want this way!"Let her do her. At least I can tell when she practiced.
@@MrAaroncissell awesome to hear about your daughter 👍🙂👍 I'm sure I would call it bullshit, it takes time and effort to do it right and on most expensive guitars with relic you're paying for more than just a relic guitar 🙂
He he "relic a neck" sounds so funny to say 😀
@@poykehmusic haha wtf🤣
Hello! I think thats very cool relic guide! By the way don't you want to try to make a real analog tape delay? Your P2399 delay project is very similar to it in terms of how it works. But a real tape delay sounds awesome. And there no more guids about DIY analog tape delay on KZread, so you might be first.
@@kutuzov8103 there are some if you look around but I am working on it I can't tell you when its coming but I'll try to have it done as soon as I can 🙂
@@zurowetzsuper!
Very cool. You probably should let everyone know you're doing a left handed neck, early on. Some are probably going to bury you in "low" vs. "high".
Gotoh and grover tuners are nice
@@tigmil8116 yeah 😊
❤
What's the tiny guitar in the background?
@@tigmil8116 its a kids guitar I showed in the beginning of the year
Hi, does this mod change the original out to Dry only, or is it still blend of dry and wet? If both, Can it be dry only?
@@smakt18 the first jack still works as its suppose to and the new jack is just wet out
@@zurowetz thanks
I just did this mod, and it works good so far. FUN fact, the wet signal point is before the effects volume knob, so it's 100% wet all the time. So if you turn the effects knob down to zero, you get the original output to be 100% dry and your wet is 100% wet. I didnt fully understand the pedal structure till doing the mod. What you said makes more sense after the fact. Thanks for you help.
@@smakt18 glad I could help 👍😀
Hello What is Stratocaster Squier? Very pretty.
@@Anthony-ru9hz thank you glad you like it 😀 this is a squier bullet from 2001 😁
She's really beautiful. Beautiful Relic Soft I'll try to venture.
Corp poplar or Alder
@@Anthony-ru9hz thank you I have a lot of videos on how I relic guitars (new one coming Monday) hopefully it can help 🙂
@@Anthony-ru9hz I think it's Alder 👍
Thank you for your video, man! Your content and you are really grate. I hope you can get whatever you want from your works. I just really like to watch your videos and.. just chill? To be honest, your the first one on whole KZread which I can say that about! Thank you for your video and works
@@kutuzov8103 aww thank you that's the nicest thing ever. That means so much to me you don't even know I was having a kinda bad day but its all good now thanks to you. You are awesome!! 😄😄
i love this
@@f_lakes 🥰
HAHAHAHAHA I watching it because YOU posted it! Said the Bass Player. (There I edited this so nobody knows that I typed "toy" instead of "you.")
Haha what 😂
@@MrAaroncissell haha I was so confused good thing you came back and change it (and that I happen to see it because KZread doesn't tell me if someone changes there comment only if they make one) 😁
Can you post a diagram and schematic for this design as well as a list of needed parts?
Ahhh man I followed this video and maybe I missed something but you had to solder the pcb with the pods… thats much easier and solid
I have a Realistik microcassette recorder my grandmother gave me... it no longer works, but I'd like to fix it... the batteries leaked acid inside and i don't know what else may be wrong with it.
@@scramblesthedeathdealer cool probably an old capacitor that you need to switch out or something like that 👍
@@zurowetz Glad I hung onto it, it has sentimental value. I also have a Model 1 Sega Genesis that I was told likely needs new capacitors.
Walkman 😮
@@Bopiq yeah except this isn't a sony but basically the same 👍😀
Turning into a dirt pedal, or a tape delay
@@tigmil8116 why not both 😉
@@zurowetz you could also turn it into a mellotron. I have.
@@tigmil8116 I wanna do that someday but I need to make a really big one with 50+ keys 🥸
Forgive my ignorance, but no clue
@@SevanGuitars no is cool its an old tape player and it can be changed into a tape delay player or pedal and that's the hint I'm making 😊
You Brits just get weird on your own cameras when you’re doing serious content. Ty for the good stuff.
@@generalleigh7387 brits?
@@zurowetz Wherever you’re from…….. you Dennis Leary looking man.
You can relic those guitars easily. You just need the adequate technique. It's the ideal mixture of detail and randomness. And let's be real, almost all DIY relic jobs look cheap and fake. However, you're right, that it's more difficult then let's say with a traditional nitro guitar.
hola. puedes darme la lista de materiales por favor
@@yosbersensei 2x diodes
@@zurowetz vi otro componente de color plata
ok. i got a handful of them zener diodes. and a lm386, so your easy swap test pedal threw me, as to the location of the "clipper pair" in the signal path. scratching my head i think " it only makes sense to clip the amplifyed signal prior to the speaker output... i know a mag. pickup wont produce enough signal to clip. maybe an active one will.... IDK. im not sure what your setup is. you made single lm386 pedals, parallel lm386 pedals, have you run any in series? im planning on starting with 1 - lm386 module. unfortunately, i have the lower wattage N-1 opamp. 👍🏻
i have made so many lm386 pedal videos that it can be hard to keep track of them all but I have a playlist so check it out and see if you can find what you are looking for the first one i build was in series 🙂
I want to build something similar but was wondering why you used two of the circuit boards instead of just one?
so I can have one delay going into the next tis a cool effect and if you have two pedals you can try it I think you'll like it you set one to be slower than the other :D
@@zurowetz thankyou!
@@mango9871 no problem 👍😊
Try adding a 555 circuit with an envelope filter and expression pedal on the envelope so you get an oscillation with an adjustable timed delay arpeggio type sound.. is how the fart box works except they add a sample bite into the mix.. the way your “experimenting” with the circuit youre going to end up burning out that chipset.. it gets pretty crazy when you start adding modules into the mix yourself as long as youre understanding the circuit as a whole. Good electronic learning path to take..
This sounds like a video worth doing.
To offset the signal leech/volume loss from the passive tone boards, just add a PAM8403 (mono) or PAM8406 (dual channel) gain/amplification module. You can get 50-100 of them for like $10-20. Use a voltage regulator to convert the 9v power supply to somewhere between 3v to 5v (if you don’t do this you will burn out the op amp). These are similar to the LM386 modules but they’re cheaper, smaller, and I personally prefer their tonal quality. But yeah, they’re suuuuper simple to use and it would solve your volume issues.
@@mattstangel6857 thank man! I'll have to look into that 👍😀👍
@@zurowetz sure thing! Thanks to you for posting and for promoting the value of experimentation!
@@mattstangel6857 😊
7:51 What's the _third comonent_ you tried right after the delay? Was that a *microphone?*
A piezo microphone yeah don't ask why😂
It's funny to see this video from yours popping up right after I told you I was gonna experiment with *PT2399* based on _your previous videos._ You didn't tell me you had that in stock. 😀Jätte bra!
@@poykehmusic haha yeah I know!😆 I was thinking maybe I should but then I thought if you work on yours its better than if you wait for my video so I just left it 😉😉
very good video! I love these experiments with this $1 board. The best part was the potentiometer with the capacitor, I want more please!
@@IRONFFIST haha yeah I agree I think found something there😀 I'm going to do more so don't worry but thank you for telling me its always a little unsure when I'm recording become its seems so unstructured 🙂
i think the cap pot is acting as a filter and somehow its introducing some changes in the lfo (some warbling) which is super cool. love to see more of these curious experiments!
@@64legodude yeah I think you're right 😃 I'll get right on recording some more 😁thank you for telling me 😊
I thought it was interesting and informative. I had fun watching and taking notes as I have 5 of the same chip but a different board on an actual "slow boat from China" headed this way. Unfortunately the EQ boards I ordered with it were refunded as they ran out of stock or "We might have some in a month." But like I said I want to try a Fuzverb voiced for bass.
Glad you got something out of it and enjoyed it as well 😃 yeah it seems like those boards are running low I'll have to try and find other things we can use too so we can get around them 😉 fuzzverb for bass is gonna be cool once you're done with it 😊👍😊
The most fun things imo to play around with are when you add knobs to like the delay time or you make a feedback. You can play with the resistor on the time knob (if you add one) and you can play with the pot value, giving you different delay times. To add feedback, if i remember right, you can have wires going off one of the bigger capacitors connecting it and a ground to a pot. The yellow one you used i liked alot if it was just a tad louder maybe even slightly brighter. The cap pot was super cool. I bet if you put 2 or more together and change the pitch of each repeat for each board you could make weird pitch rhythms.
@@tigmil8116 maybe 🤔 you have some cool ideas I'll have to do some more experiments maybe I should open up the lovely little panda and use it?🙃
I'm doing same thing to my stratocaster! But I'm re doing it rn because I drilled it little too far :(
@@y3ejk101 😕.... but you can fix it. I believe in you!😀
Nop
What would be very cool on this project would be an three-position A/B/AB switch to route the input signal to either LM386 or both, and an indicator LED for each to show when it is active. An alternate approach might be to leave the signal routing as-is, but use a three position switch to route power to each half of the circuit as desired. Very awesome project you’ve got here.
thank you for the idea and than you for the compliment :) I'll try to keep it in mind as I continue to work on this pedal :D
