Preamps and Effects / Phabbtone
February 25, 2014, 08:58:35 PM
I am interested in building the Phabbtone and I have a couple of questions.
1) If v3.5 the latest and greatest from the creator?
2) Has anyone done a vero layout of this?
3) Has anyone used this as the front end of an od?

Thanks!

Preamps and Effects / I need help with howie style pedal.
February 19, 2014, 08:07:33 PM
Phatt (he has given me some ideas to try), recommended that I post the schematic here as there are many SS experts here that could help resolve my pedal problems. First I need to give credit to Torben and  kusi at FSB for the schematic and Sabrotone for the layout. This is a dumble style pedal similar to the ROG umble. The schematic is in a pdf form so I added the link to it, http://www.freestompboxes.org/download/file.php?id=1579. I have built the pedal following the schematic and layout. It works but not as I had hoped. My main problem is I'm good at reading schmatics but need help with modding them. The pedal has what I believe is called "ice pick" overtones when the drive or gain is turned up or when heavy picking, (far from the smooth overdrive I was expecting). I was expecting a bit more midrange control. Others compare it to "chewing tin foil". This sound compares to my MIM strat with Tex Mex style pickups which I changed because of the ice pick sound. If some one with experience could look over the schematic and offer suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
