I love having pedals that don't sound right become mine own. 😁 Love the channel. Thank you so much! Invaluable stuff
Great video, and thank you for linking those sites in the description. I'll definitely be toying around with them.
No prob
LOVE videos like this! Keep up the good work!
Very useful video! I guess you could briefly talk about adding resistors in series. An idea for another, longer video, would be talking about power filters, low and high pass filters, pulldown resistors etc.
Great video
First time I was adding parallel Resistors to a pedal was in an A/B switch. I didn't have the right resistors for the outputs (500Ohm), so I simply put two 1k in parallel there. Defeated the clicking sound when switching and looked kinda cool inside the pedal.
hell yeah BROTHER!!!
I think there's an instensity trim pot in the evh phaser...or what is it for if I'm wrong
is it possible to use this paralelle resistor process to make the treble variable using a pot?
I imagine there'd be no difference sonically between a single 100k and two 200k resistors in parallel, so would I be correct in assuming that this mod applies just circuits that already have resistors in place as opposed to something your building?
Hey man you think it's possible to mod a phase 90 pedal to manually control the sweep.....you know like sometimes Eddie van Halens phaser seemed to always sound still in some of his songs
Thanks for making the video- is there a benefit or difference between doing parallel resistors vs using 1 that’s half the resistance?
I have a question, maybe you could help me because i can't find any info about this.
I have a guitar pedal which has an issue with its on-off switch. Since its an always on pedal, I'd like to get rid of the switch completely so literally it becomes a real always on pedal. Can you help me? Thanks in advance!!
How are parallel resistors any different than just adding a resistor of lower value? It might change something with the voltages across those resistors, but I'm not seeing how this is any different than just adding lower value resistors. What am I missing?
Hi I like your channel for learning,"**I have inherited big bag of cv7112 mullard military grade npn germanium transistors,I want to make a tonebender,I'm lil confused on I see reverse electrlytic caps, guess I'm confused on battery power placement and Jack's wiring?...any tips be awesome...thnx for your sharing of knowledge...😎
So, I made this video in regards to this. ua-cam.com/video/3bczSmOLON4/v-deo.html
I've modded rehoused/true bypassed a couple Behringers so I recognized that PCB style on the SMD board you showed. I'm just not sure which one it is. Out of curiosity which one is it? My next build is going to be a DeadAstronaut Chasm Reverb using a BTDR-2H Belton brick which is basically a PT2399 based reverb. I think it would be a cool thing for your channel....you know what I think I learned about the Chasm Reverb in the first place from the other Austrailian guy who posts under this channel lol! I build 80% of my pedals in Vero but I think I'm gonna do the Dead Astronaut Chasm using Dead Astronauts PCB. It will be a good way to support the pedal designer and get a quick and easy good looking finished product lol. I also like that the PCB offers pads for a toggle switch AND a footswitch to activate the Oscillations.
As of the Behringer pedal, that is their UO-300, which is their modified version of a Boss OC-2. Good eye on that one. As of the Chasm Reverb, yeah, Paul is a huge fan of that pedal. Dead Astro has some really cool effects, so I can't say anything but good stuff in regards to them. Yeah, the Belton bricks are a series of 3x PT2399's with some support electronics to act as filters and such. I think they sound good.
Are there any cool mods for the Dunlop mxr 6 and/or 10 band eq pedals?
Check out the video on how EQ pedals work. Also, the build doc for the Rock Bottom EQ will have a lot of ideas on how to mod those pedals. They are almost always gyrator circuits
You can also do this inside a guitar. Make 500k pots sounds like 250k. Or in a HS guitar and it to the neck pickup at the switch to balance the treble.
Cool. I have a dod fx86b that was no gain control. Its flat out distortion. Perhaps I can add a pot somewhere for some control :)
You might be tempted to hit the first gain stage's resistor, but as that is a gyrator, I'd hit the 120K resistor on the second gain stage and use that to manipulate the gain.
@@erikvincent5846 , I havent found any schematic for it so far. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you very much.
Anyone ever hear of JADED Mods? Looking for that modder because I have questions on some stuff he did thx
Not sure what I'm looking at it be nice if you had a close up
With the smd, couldn’t you just put a smd resistor on top of the old one and solder them together?
That will work most of the time. Some SMD resistors are not insulated well, and when you get those, it then makes your stacked resistors into capacitors as well. I tend to go side-by-side with two SMD resistors in parallel, if the board-space allows it.
@@erikvincent5846 thats very interesting, thanks man!
@@jeroen4734 I only mention that, because at a previous place of employment, I accidentally made that mistake.
@@erikvincent5846 😂 thats how we learn! I hope thats not the reason its your previous place of employment?
@@jeroen4734 nope. Just found a better opportunity elsewhere.
Couldn't you also just remove the original resistor and replace it with a lower value?
Electricity follows the path of least resistance...only a resistor with.less resistance will do anything placed that way...wouldn't it be better to ..or funner remove the resistor and put a potentiometer in its place
This is true, potentiometer mods are usually good, but for the sake of simplicity, I was trying to target a modification that required zero removal of previous components.
Yup...but in cases where you want more resistance removal and replacement are a must.
@@rosswilliams5339 very true.
I can hear the maple coming through. Jk.
