    Boost Pedal that I made for a buddy of mine has some really nice gain characteristics. Sounds great w/ both Si and Ge transistors.... Hope you guys like, Tyler |

Now, you knew, of course, that soundclips would be immediately requested!  Between Flateric and his cigarette pack graphics and your Cyclops artwork, I'm feeling outgunned. My stompbox project was "blue" . . . Seriously, nice job! Let's hear it! |

Newey,
Thanks. This specimen has already made it to it's final owner. That being said, I can see if he will swing by and demo it for me. Or, of course, I have one for myself(as we all know, they all sound slightly different) maybe I should clean the dust off now that finals are done and start playing again....
Did you see the other pics I posted the other week?

Yes I did see them- you've definitely joined the pedal contingent here!

Glad to know it. I think I have something like 13 or 14 under my belt now. Then about 5 more in the works.....
Then I have tons of repair projects that I am working on(From my understanding I am the only person in Fort Wayne that works on pedals....)

Have u thought about putting together a boost with a switch to select either Si or Ge amp stage in same pedal? Can we have a gut-shot next time? |

Nice idea flateric!
@gfx-obviously, the artwork is your design. Nice! Are the circuits your design too? I bet it is a nice little niche to be the stompbox guy.

Flat,
Actually that is in store for a Knight Fuzz that I am building.... I need to make some extra cash so I can afford to have a stock of switches ect..... And of course, I can start showing gut shots....
Jcgss,
Oddly enough, the art is not my design. I have a buddy of mine at work do them, and then incorporate that into the cost that I charge my friends(the cost of parts plus $5).
The circuit is based on the beginner project at the DIYStompboxes forum. That being said, I made some changes to the circuit in order to tailor the pedal to the sound that I wanted.
It's a great niche to be the stompbox guy, but I don't have enough time to work on 'em. I don't have enough steady work w/ em to quit my full-time job. Then I'm in college and I have a 14mo old daughter...... I maybe get an hour or two an evening at the very very most. Then with some of these pedals(like the morley oil can delay that I am working on now) I have no idea where to begin. It apparently hasn't worked in over 25 years, and I'm having trouble sourcing parts....

Tyler, ...... like the morley oil can delay that I am working on now) I have no idea where to begin. It apparently hasn't worked in over 25 years, and I'm having trouble sourcing parts.... Just because I like you, I'm gonna do ya a favor: Harmony Central's reviews of the Fender Dimension IV (as made by Tel-Ray) (This is the Google cache version - I couldn't get the real page to load up for me.) The Unofficial Tel-Ray Page They appear to have a repair service, and a Forum. Tel-Ray Oil Can Addicts Forum Also an in-depth forum, list of parts sources, etc. And finally, what you've been looking for: Tel-Ray Schematic (sorry, it's a PDF file, so I can't link it directly) All that from 3 minutes of Google. Well, it probably helped that I knew from way back that the Morley is a re-worked Fender Dimension IV, which was a re-worked Tel-Ray Echo/vibrato unit, from the early 60's..... HTH sumgai |
