meron akong idea na ewan ko kung pwede. kasi yung zoom 505II ko gusto ko sana ipabago yung casing nya kasi plastic lang. gusto ko sana magpasadya ng bakal na kahit hindi pareho ng shape sa original. possible ba yun?

Sukatin mo bro yung dimension.  Tignan natin kung kaya.

sige sir. dalhin ko na lang siguro sa inyo para mas ok

Yup! txt mo na lang ako kung kelan ka punta.  Don't forget yung dimension para maitawag ko sa supplier tom.

Dimensions : 125 x 145 x 40 (W x D x H)mm

nakuha ko sa site ng zoom

Bale 4.92" x 5.71" x 1.57".  Teka tama ba computation ko?   :? :| :oops:

Alam ko kasi available nila is -> 4" width/depth x 6" width/depth x 2" height.

sirs .. i am a person who wants to experiment in making my own pedal.. d ko alam pano magbasa ng schematics eh.. anyway i just want to learn how to make my own distortion pedal kung may potential ideas kayo pls do share..

i want a distortion pedal that has a real tube in it..
i want it to be as heavy as a mesa boogie triple rectifier..
or a diezal amp hehehhe..
tapos true bypass sya plus controls nya parang amp talaga .. ung may contour knob at may mid low high tapos may tone knob pa .. sana u can help me sirs..
actually i feel na exaggerated itong pedal na ito.. hehehehhe
just hoping for ur help po sirs.

hmmm sir suggestion ko magstart muna kyo with simple circuits/pedals then saka kayo mag move sa mga tube based pedal. gain experience muna on building effects dahil complicated na ang mga tube
od. mahirap na baka masayang lang pera niyo sa parts kung may mali kayong nalagay or nasira bigla tapos di niyo na alam kung saan kayo nagkamali. at saka nga pala subject to noise ang mga tube od na diy unless magaling na magaling ka mag layout at mag wiring

I just wish kaya ko din yung mga sinabi mo :oops:.  Wala pa kasi akong experience sa tunay na tubes.  But what i know is kayang i-emulate yan.  Kung from the scratch ka talaga mukhang madami kang hindi maiintindihan.  Actually madami pa din akong dapat malaman.  I just tried researching over the net since it's very free (walang bayad).  Yung pedal na ginawa ko kasi talagang personal preference ko lahat yun.  So, somebody might like it and somebody might not.  Kaya talagang Yung personal preference ko lang yung pinag tuunan ko ng pansin.  So, we might want the help of sir ubersam kung tungkol sa tubes or better yet sir bamf.  Alam ko gumawa siya ng pre-amp na may real tubes dati.  I had the chance na magamit pa nga yun before.  Pero kung tungkol sa heavyness or lightness ng distortion, puwede kitang matulungan diyan.  Ewan ko lang kung tama ha pero pagka intindi ko sa triple rectifier is parang diode clipping ng bigmuff but instead of using germanium diodes, silicon diodes are used instead.  Alam ko para mas crunchy ang distortion.

hmmm sirs i think ur right .. i will try the simple circuitry ... siguro try ko gumawa ng dist na basic siguro.. level gain tone lng muna
hmmmm san kaya ako makakakuha ng info tungkol dito over the net??

Hindi ko na matadaan yung ibang sites.  Try:
  • www.geofx.com
  • teka wala na ako maisip, or maybe try to google it na lang with different kind of keywords para mas marami kang ma hit na potential topics.

Hope i contributed on your enthusiasm somehow.  Don't worry madami pa namang magpo-post dito kaya keep on peeking from time to time. :-)

Ok na yung True Bypass using one DPDT with 2 LED indicator.

Here is the wiring connection  at the DPDT switch.


Normal Mode.  The FX loop channel is off.


Loop Mode.  The FX loop channel is on.


But I change it to both red LED.  medyo mahina yung yellow.  I don't use any transistor with it.  The resistor that you see is the current limiter for the LED.  Hindi ko lang alam kung magko-contribute siya to any loss of frequency.  So, someone tell us so para ma debug natin habang maaga.  Huh! ano ba? say goodbye na ba to mellinium bypass?.  Please help naman with some ideas if you have some tutal sa'tin nagsimula ito.

Next Stop!  enclousure. :-)

@ sir ubersam - Yup! bro tapusin ko na muna lahat tapos ilalatag natin yung schematics then the whole package.

@ sir titsermarco - Not sure nga sir eh.  Pinag-isipan ko lang yung wiring talaga.  About the millenium bypass alam ko nilalagyan ng 2n3904 (transistor) yun to have LED indicator but only one LED lang ang package nun.

Good question bro!  Gusto kong i-mod dati yan.  All i got was CE-1, CE-2, CE-2B schematics.  And to my surprise  after opening Denio Chorus, it's a CE-2B circuit w/o the LEVEL (volume).

Mahal ko na siya!  Kaya pala ganun ka ganda.  humihina lang ng konti after mo i-on.  Maybe dahil sa hindi siya true bypassed or kailangan talaga ng LEVEL circuit.  Yun ang isa sa mga projects ko ngayon na naka line-up.

Try mo yung behringer distortion, forgot ko lang yung model.  Ask mo sa mga behringer stores. Less than P2k ang price.  Alam ko nga most of their stomps are Boss copy (circuit).  Kaya nga nasarado ang mga behringer stores dati kasi dinemanda ng Boss.  Eventually they won the case.  But before the incident their usual price was P1,495 lang.  Go na! :-)

knots, nuts pag pinronounce pareho lang hehehe pagbigyan mo na.  :-D

hehehe, umandar na naman pagkatitser mo frank zappa... 8-)

WRONG.


The word "nut" is pronounced with a schwa. 'Knot' has an Open back unrounded vowel.
Steady lang...

btw sir uber, what does the switch do? i guess what im trying to ask is the sound that you could get out of it.  :-)

Bro mukhang magandang gawin true bypass mga Boss stomps ko ah.   Good idea sir uber. NICE!
