Parallel Universe schematic... woohoo!

[ExpAnonColin]

(edit-thanks to ansil for helping me out with this!  I fixed a few of my own mistakes, added resistor color codes, and a description.)

I actually drew this out without the circuit in front of me, off the top of my head, so one of the caps might be backwards or a pot value might be a little off.  I can check when I get home.  I'd post pictures of one, but the paint is still drying on the box!

PLEASE let me know if you try building it-I want to know if the schem works and what you think of the pedal.

If this schematic works, could anyone please draw a layout for it in .pcb format?  I'll pay you like 5 bucks.

i am finishing it right now. i am at a different computer though so it will be a slow upload..  or do you want me to email it to ya.

[petemoore]

Than anything I've built so far...
 Awesome !!!
 See that Ansil..there's a 386 in there !!!!
 Hallelujah !!!!

[Ansil]

yeah.. i know its about time..  lol.    i havent' found a pedal yet that i can't slap a 386 in it and make it sound better..

[ExpAnonColin]

I LOVE 386's!  SO simple, so easy to use...  they just amplify the signal if you groud 2 and 4, put yourself into 3, and take out of 5, and give it some voltage...  just wonderful chips for me  Glad I discovered them at radioshack (it was the very early days, early summer, "Hey, an audio amplifier, I wonder what this will do...")

Thanks, ansil.  I'll check the schematic and then the .pcb file when I Get home.

Looks cool! And a kind of artsy-fartsy drawing too. Did you use a crayon?

[Marcos - Munky]

Looks cool, Colin. I will take a look at the soundclips.

Nope, it was #2 mechanical pencil, enlarged a couple times

Looks cool, Colin. I will take a look at the soundclips.

Let me know if you build it.

Ansil-thanks a ton for the redrawn schematic and parts layout.  I appreciate it like berzerk.

Can anyone do me a .pcb version of the board so I can send it to futurlec?  I'll pay you a couple dollars.

-Colin

[Marcos - Munky]

You made a cool noisy thing, Colin. I have lots of stuff to finish, but if I build it I tell to you.

[Marcos - Munky]

Hey Colin, I did the pcb file. Check your e-mail.

[casey]

is that the complete schem on this?  it looks as if the top of it
was chopped off....

i would love to build it....

could someone email it to me?

[Marcos - Munky]

Yeah, it's complete.

[ExpAnonColin]

Marcos-Thanks a ton for the PCB file.  I think I'll be ordering 10 futurlec boards in a minute.

Casey-No, the schematic is just fine... how come it looks chopped?

Let me know if you build it, both of you

-Colin

[casey]

yeah, im looking forward to it......

thanks for the schem.... :wink:

Those sound clips are totally awesome, Colin...I'll be building one as soon as I can round up an LM386 and some switches...hopefully tomorrow.  Thanks for posting this schematic!

Thanks for the kind words

Let me know how it turns out.

Great selection of clips!

I going to try building one with an 18V supply using the JRC386BD.

I'm really curious how your Futurlec boards will come out. have you used them for boards before?

Take care,
-Peter

[doug deeper]

how did you figure out the bypass pin oscilation thing?!!!
this has been my secret weapon for almost two years now!!!!(looks like i dont have to be afraid to share now:].....)
looks cool!!!!!

I've never used the boards before, but they sure look perdy

Let me know how the 18v mod goes (lots of let me knows!  I'm very repetitive!)

Doug - That's really cool.  Do you have any circuits that do this?  I found it out basically by thinking to myself "Hmm.. I wonder what a capacitor placed here would do... probably make it oscillate"

-Colin

[doug deeper]

yeah....i pretty much use it to get "gated arpegeator" type sounds....so its not oscillating when your not playing....if you look at the spec sheet its almost a perfict spot to tap into.....right above the collector of the first tranny....
cool stuff....
i use this in my "glitch computer" and my "?" pedals....
(in sort of a different way)
i knew somone would stumble on to this at some point....guess its off to the bread board to find a new secret weapom :]
keep up the good work....
