This is the first pedal demo with the newly updated studio and new presentation, I hope you all like this approach to the 'Friends of dk pedals" videos.
The signal chain is guitars;
Warmoth VIP with WCR Pickups (dark burst/godwood set)
Warmoth Strat with Lindy Fralin Blues Specials
Fender Tele 52 Reissue
Eliasson Guitars dk Goldie

Into a pedal board;
PedalPCB.com Dung Beetle
Jimilee Super Rat
Aionfx Aurora Compressor
BigNoise Phase Four
VFE Yodeler
Ditto Looper
TC Polytune
Into the de-Lisle Amp-Speaker selector which is going to a Trinity Amps 18 Watt sIII into a Two notes Torpedo live running parallel out to a mojotone cabinet with a Celestion Creamback 65 watt speaker.
The speaker is mic'd up with a Royer 121 and a SM57 feed into a Seventh Circle Audio N72 and A12 respectively and sent to the Focusrite 18i20. Reaper gets a little blend of all of them to which is is dumped into my iPad and edited using Lumafusion.
Studio tour anyone?

The Jake Blade
Переглядів 1,3 тис.10 місяців тому
To answer the question, what is that tremolo bar thingy you use on all your guitars? This is the Jake Blade, it was created by Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee with Rough Gauge LLC. I find it to be the most effective trem arm, since it stays out of the way of your controls. It allows me to be a bit more subtle and not going straight to Jeff Beck rip off territory. Highly recommend it! I am not...

Madbean Pedals Glasshole I A DIY Guitar Pedal Demo and Build Report
More build reports please! Nice!!!!! Cheers man
Wow, that sounds terrible. Yikes
Awesome freaking pedal i just ordered the pcb. The boost being a switch is silly to me know ones gonna bend down and flip a switch for their boost, but the new design has a second button now
What inlay option did you choose for that baritone neck? Are you happy with the color?
Overdrive for your clean sound is perfect. That should be a common description of compressors!
Right! They do something so magical for your clean sound. It is challenging to demo them but I always have one on my board
just finished this a few minutes ago, i like it but don't love it. the predelay control feels weird to me, i'm not sure it's behaving 100% correctly. great demo, thanks!
I always found this pedal to be a bit over the top with reverb. The gravitational reverb is more for me and utilizes a belton brick 3

Thanks for doing this demo. I built it awhile back, after I've done a few superbolt builtds. I like the superbolt by itself better but I got some ideas for this thing now. Great playing btw :)
Thank you for kind words! The superbolt is a fun effect and sounds great with some boost in front of it.
holy moses this sounds epic. next on my build list!!! great video and great playing
Thank you so much! This one is certainly a keeper!
I love it. Whats your favorite and why? Ill go first, I love my "haunting mids" clone and my pedalpcb "Pathogen".
My VFE Dragon is my favorite! It sounds amazing, looks amazing and has an actual dragon made from the artwork that guards the amps. It elevated my building ability and is a really stand out pedal. There are so many go-to pedals in here that are inspiration in a box. The Madbean Glitchee is pretty outstanding and fun as hell to play!
That fuzz makes me moist
tks, what a lot of DIY at your behaind. Great sound and explanation. TKS
Thank you so much! More videos about all of the diy madness coming soon!
Hej, nice player!
You really made me wanna work on that, I'll start with analog pedals, but I plan on making the PedalPCB FV-1 development kit
Definitely get a few pedals down before you give it a shot! Good luck!
Wow is that a versatile pedal. Love the video special effects.
Awesome playing and sound
Thank you so much for the kind words and watching, I really appreciate it
Kinda similar to the legendary Captain Coconut pedal. Very cool.
Can we use 18V with this pedal ? Like the DLS.
Absolutely! Just need to make sure your capacitors are rated for 25v or higher
FYI youtube unsubbed me from you.
What?! How is that possible? Thanks for the heads up!
@@dkpedals idk, it happened to you and another account I follow. That I was able to find out. Hard to keep track when following 200+ channels. There Could be more. I only noticed because I watch your channel regularly. Based on other channels I think this is somewhat of an epidemic with YT. Unfortunately. Anyways, love the channel!
@@LOFI_Jamesthat is weird! Thank you for bringing that to my attention, going to go check my subs. A huge thank you for watching the channel! Anything you would like to see?
This video was insanely valuable to me. I love how down to earth it is and how you take us on your journey. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much! Very kind of you to say, I really appreciate the watch
@@dkpedals Glad to hear! Question for you - I'm preparing to paint my first pedal with a friend of mine. The enclosure is powder coated and I'd like to do some simple designs on the top with a posca paint marker. Is sanding & primer beforehand super necessary for the paint to turn out okay? And how necessary would a clear coat at the end be?
@@kobimcjones I have not had great luck with posca pens. On a powder coated enclosure, the paint easily rubbed off. You may have better luck and make sure you clear coat it! I am solely convinced my failure with posca is my own fault. It seemed to flake off when it dried and was a giant waste.
What would cause an led to blow? I’ve tried multiple leds in both directions.
Check your current limiting resistor, if you have a wrong value too much current will pop a led and too little current will make your led very dim. The pedal standard for CLR is usually 4.7k
Gonna be my first build 🤙
Is it really?!? That is awesome! This is a fun pedal and a great choice for a first build. Will you be posting a build report?
Hello, thanks for the videos you make. very helpfull to me. can i ask for help me build one of those boost pedals? very fuzz face like clean up with out the fuzz and i like it very much. Please?
What can I do to help?
@@dkpedals And what do you say about making a tutorial on how to build this pedal?
@@ricardoportela7559 i will certainly put it on the list. I always wanted to try and do a ptp with a single op amp style drive.
Can i ask if you can post more fotos of the inside so i can feel more comfortable building one for me? My skills on reading schematics are very poor. With fotos I can flow the path better.
I love your step by step build of the sun face clone. I found you on UA-cam with that video.
Wow! Very nice job on the art and presentation! I enjoyed watching your progress, and picked up some good tips, thanks!
Thank you so much! Any ideas for video content let me know!🌈
Im buyimg one tomorrow. It sounds the best guitar ever to me personally.
It is a great guitar! Did you get it?
@@dkpedals Delivery tomorrow. Olive green. 🙏 It's setup right out the box. I payed £379 on offer. I never thought I'd afford a real casino. :)
@@dkpedals Update: It came. Looks stunning. Very good quality. Slight buzz on the top end A string, nothing much. Can only hear when unplugged. Feels like a more costly instrument.
@@Mysterycultist999 Excellent news! It really punches above its weight class!
I havent built a crazy amount of pedals, but the green ringer i built off a different pcb is the one ive used the most. Not even for the octave up sounds but mainly the lower down the neck almost sitar sound (especially on the lower strings)
Little flux on a toothpick would make it so much faster and easier
now me - dont listen to me because i am completely out of my mind . i had a piece of a capacitor lodged in my left foot for a few years . i had to have it surgically removed . it was the cut off or part that should have ended up in the garbage . I agree - yes perhaps this is wise choice to try and be careful with your cut offs . perhaps it may be wise to wear shoes , dont solder with short pants . I am nuckin futz , my solder already has the flux innit BUT - i like to use paste flux . i also like to remove the paste flux , i never solder with out using some form of additional flux paste or in some case liquid. i have a lot of fluxs too. its my thing . i use fans and filters when soldering , and i also remove the flux . if you do not use flux thats great i am happy for you . i bring it up because my experience is that most people who are beginners have a tough time soldering . my experience showed me soldering is much less challenging with a massive bump in success rates when i employ flux . if you never used it good for you ! make a post , make a video , paint it on a barn. i am trying to provide info which made my life infinitely easier -we solder a lot in our house , for the first 25 years i did this stuff i did not use flux . a plumber turned me on to it . since that single demonstration i have never soldered with out using additional flux. after i am finished soldering , i remove the flux . i use ipa for this , old tooth brushes and also wire hobby brush as a last stage . i also add a second applique of flux - go over the solder joints a second time - before testing . you certainly dont have to do any of this stuff , thats the fun part of it . we built a DIY audio probe and paired that with R.G. Keens quick and dirty test oscillator. as a result of building hundreds of circuits , effects , oscillators and amplifiers, i got rather adept at trouble shooting over the years . we now test every part that we can before cutting them in . we have run into bad switches , bad jacks , bad pots , bad capacitors - especially the mlcc ones that come in a multi pack - about 1/3 of those were bad on my last order but they were not from tayda . tayda has been pretty good but , minimal fake stuff and minimal duds , when you are buying bulk and then budget buying on auction sites my experience was that i ran into a lot of bad components . your experience is not mine . i wont say sorry , there is no emoji to state what i took the time to type here . if you do not have the patience to read what i took my time to type to you , perhaps it would be wise to choose a different hobby . Chinese pedals are 30 dollars shipped from al baba now . ordering everything i need to build a single boost pedal , the last time i did that costed me 63 dollars from tayda . now if you are going to come at me with attitude because your experience was different thats great i applaud you . i am merely trying to be helpful and realistic about how expensive this hobby has become . if tayda or dhl is charging you 3 dollars for shipping thats great and i am thrilled for you because they are charging me 16 - for a small order , again to build a single boost pedal .... its funny because these angry know it all types never post but they come out in droves to respond in an accusatory tone , like i took the time to type all this out , but all of it is a fairy tale i cooked up because i am secretly josh from jsh . the thing about guitar effects is this , tone is subjective . telling someone the pedal i think they should build is about as smart as trying to describe the plot of tom and jerry to my cat . starting out , start small , do not rush . test first .having a capacitance testing multi meter with a pair of alligator clip clasps for testing components quickly - using flux , image flipping vero board jpgs for hole cutting , all stuff you do not need to do . in fact NEVER do any of this , NEVER use flux , you will be the next anthony zvex by noon tomorrow . what are you doing ? go pick out which fishing lures to put in your cap to wear at NAMM where tessa jeffers and rebecca dirks will be fighting over who gets to interview you first
@peteytwofingers will you please comment more? I love it!
That's a beautiful guitar
Hi. Is the pedal configured so that the preamp still functions when its switched off? Or is it wired for true bypass? People seem to really dig the preamp in addition to fuzzes etc.
It is wired for true bypass, I believe there is a separate preamp design on the website
woah i want one!
how to design such a pratical PCB ?
Effectslayouts.com has a great tutorial on doing just that
Hey, did you use pin headers to connect the switches or just wire?
I used clipped resistor leads
@@dkpedals awesome thanks that’s much easier 👍🏻
Awesome, wgat a fab guitar! You've got the sound and demo setup nailed now, works great! Great balance between guitar and voice, lighting is great, no clicking noises and hum and all. Just focus on the good stuff and fun! Noice noice noice!
Thanks mate!!!! This is the start of something good!
I second all the above! The lighting is great too!
Bro, there’s only one “n” in potentiometer. That’s why they’re called “pots” not “ponts”.
Hahaha you sure? Pnontnentiometer, that is the proper spelling😂
dooood
Yeah mate, its insane
Please tell me the voltage of capasitor
Anything rated over 16v will be fine for the electrolytic capcitor
@@dkpedals if I use 16v or 25v or 50v Is this ok ??
@@anubhabghosh4175 anyone of them will be fine
MOAR FUZZ!!! 🤪👍
can you modify this pedal to add a footpedal like a real univibe?
Thanks for this demo! I just completed an Octagon, which is essentially the same PCB and parts with a different EPROM. It's great, but I want more reverb types, so I think I'll be building one of these in the future. I bought the pre-soldered FV-1, which makes it somewhat easier for those just starting out with DIY pedals.
The presoldered fv-1 is a game changer! You can also just buy an eeprom chip with the reverbs on it and swap it out. There is also an fv1 dev pedal that you can connect to your pc and swap out patches.
@@dkpedalsyeah, I thought about just swapping out the EPROM, but I like what the Octagon does too. I will look into that FV-1 development pedal, also looking into the custom EPROMs that PedalPCB offers. Thanks!
They look great, that's a very organized room
It is 100% pure excess
Far more organized than my collection.
Only way to contain the madness
You should do some shorts on your favorites
Googles “shorts”. Ahhh, short videos. Let’s do it!!!
Great tutorial! I find it helpful to keep a tube of soldering flux with a toothpick in it to dab a little flux on the solder pads. It really helps the solder flow better with larger solder joints, like on footswitches, pots and jacks. Also helps with tinning wires, so it's a quick process where the insulation doesn't melt and the wire end doesn't get too fat.
This is a great advice! I use a syringe of flux to apply in the hard to reach areas. Cannot recommend it highly enough
Thanks so much for posting this! I'm finishing up an ElectroVibe Mini, which is pretty intense since there are 2 stacked boards and everything fits together so tight. I was just about to solder in the 9203 LDRs I got from Mouser and they are MIA (probably got accidentally thrown away). Now I am patiently awaiting replacements to arrive and researching how to dial it in in the meantime. Nice playing and thanks again for the helpful video!🙏
That build is quite the challenge! Once you get it running, you will have an incredible uni-vibe! Thank you for the kind words!
Nice hoard! I love that you have so much room to display them all. 😎
I have packed every nook and cranny of this bedroom! I might have to figure out how to hang them from the ceiling!
Awesome channel and quite a build list =D Have you done your own pickups ?
Thank you!!! I have not and I am not sure I ever will. Pick ups seem like a lot of expensive guess work and there are a lot of companies out there that have gotten it right already. Not saying I won’t give it a go at some stage of my lunacy.
