Mod your CHEAP joyo ultimate drive into BOUTIQUE Alpha Drive. LOL

[stringman]

Okay, pedal modders out there. PM me how much for this mod. Thanks.

With the 4 simple parts to replace, if you go to raon and do the DIY yourself wala pang 20 pesos sa parts. The resistor parts on the potentiometers was just to change the value of the taper. Siguro walang mabilihan na value yung si Ken ng FB so he did a shortcut. Hinihintay ko yung thread nila until someone can post an actual mod done on the Joyo pedal.

or mahihrapan syang i desolder yung mga pots since thru-hole yung pcb. happened to me when i desoldered the DC input ng boston delay, hard as fvck to scoop all the solder since the top side is soldered as well and the suction couldnt get into it well.

hehehe, hay nako. this comes second to the boss tu-100o in epic lulz content

Wow those guys had a mission....to prove how gullible cork sniffers/gear nuts can be.....

Why not just do it from scratch? It might even be cheaper as a Pinoy DIY version. Calling all pedal builders out there. First one to coin it will probably win.

sound-wise it is just an OCD clone with a different taper ng pots because of the resistors added parallel to the potentiometer. price-wise, the UDrive will still be cheaper.

Interesting. Why is that so? Lower quality parts? Mass produced - low overhead?

cno pde maka mod d2 tnx

[mikki_blinkme]

para maka afford yung mga can't afford ng botik pedal na botik-looking pedals...

[jellogz]

Nakakataka lang dun eh bakit yun pang existing board ng joyo ginamit nila, imbis na mag fabricate sila ng ibang board na naayon dun sa mod nila, nakakahiya kasi na ni-rehouse at konting butingting, tada, botik pedal na

[mikki_blinkme]

may nakita ako sa classifieds na joyo... http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,239406.0.html

try watching yung demo vid nyan sa youtube. i think watched the ones from cranbournemusic (tama ba?).. ewan ko kung ako lang, pero parang hindi ako nagandahan sa tunog niya. parang malayo sa crunhbox.. but still,  the best would be to try the pedal personally.

 

[yahoo!]

still no takers?? 

[arpeggiosfromheaven]

still no takers?? 

how much for teh mod?

It should be close to an OCD, not the Crunchbox.

do you have the joyo pedal? i can mod your pedal for free. but for you only. gusto ko lang matest. 

[mikki_blinkme]

Yan nga yung malabo dun sa sagot ni Ken ng Freekish Blues. SAbi niya 3 years ago nagpa-mass produce sila sa isang overseas company nung design nila na circuit taz they found out na binebenta yung design nila. Ang malabo dun bakit kung alam niya na ninakawan siya ng design ng isang company hindi  man lang niya dinemanda o inaanounce so forums na ninakaw yung design niya within those years. Kung totoo man yun, bakit inspite of everything, ginamit pa rin niya yung board ng nagnakaw sa kanya.

May ibang Alpha Drive units kasi din hindi masyadong binura yung J. Wong na nakaprint dun s circuit board at siyempre yung iba tinanggal yung goop na pangit din ang pagkakaapply so nabuking na cheap parts lang ang nasa loob. Bale ang nangyayari lang bumibili lang sila ng Joyo taz palit lang ng 4(?) resistors, repaint tapos icclaim nila na "designed, engineered at handcrafted in a basement." Chinese sweatshop basement pala. lol..Ang henyong idea dun eh nilagyan pa nila ng 4 weeks waiting time para mukha talagang boutique.

Ang tanong sa mga modders natin dito, kung ang Ultimate Drive clone ng OCD at sa konting palit lang ng resistors magiging Alpha Drive ang sound niya, pwede bang maging switcheable between "OCD-mode" at "Alpha Drive-mode" yung Ultimate Drive?
