devnulljpParticipantQuote:Just open it up and see. I’m not sure how many are in there but it/they’ll be easily recognized.I don’t have it yet — on the fence whether I should buy it (good price) and try to repair or whether it’s going to be unfixable (or $$$$$ to fix).
It gets one repeat, but the feedback knob does nothing apparently.devnulljpParticipantSomewhat related…anyoneknowwhat chips were in the v3 MM?
This one:
What would stop decay/feedback, turning it into a single echo slapback? Fixable?
Is this MN3005 or SAD1024? Would the delay chip be the problem, or something else?devnulljpParticipantTone Wicker!
(or crank the tone on the muff?)
Or am I totally misunderstanding the problem? have you tried backing off the sustain a bit too? I find sometimes you can get mush if you throw a muff in full-on balls-to-the-wall mode into a crunchy amp.
Speakers make a difference too.devnulljpParticipantGood scores, both of you.
I posted the mod to fix the volume drop mod for that model here
Great phaser.devnulljpParticipantQuote:Quote:The Color switch on the v1 Bad Stone — the weird mummy face one — switches between a pitch shift vibrato and more of a chorus setting a bit like a leslie or a vibe. A lot of early phasers used that sort of terminology — my old Jen Motorphaser specifically calls them Tremolo (which is fast, like a Leslie) and Chorus (which is slow, like a vibe).Wow, really? That seems peculiar. Why have a continuous rate pot AND a toggle switch for 2 fixed rates? (more of a rhetorical question) That seems kind of obtuse.
It’s not really a fixed rate, my bad description. It’s more of a Doppler pitch shift vibrato like you’d get with a leslie on fast speed, and a more chorusy sound like a vibe on slow speed, but you can still vary the rate of the sweep with the pot. Just think of it like a switch between pitch shift vibrato and regular phaser. Hard to describe, but it sounds great.

devnulljpParticipantI think the tone pot is just goosed. It’s non-original, so I’m going to replace it. Any idea what the spec should be?
100k linear?
Where to get one?devnulljpParticipantQuote:Your new big muff is the opamp version BTW, it doesnt use any transistors. One of my favorite versions!Man,you can’t give these things away. I’ve been breaking up my muff collection to fund some bigger deal pedals and nobody wants these ones.
We need a buy & sell forum on here for vintage/old EHX…October 6, 2009 at 8:00 am in reply to: EHX PLEASE MAKE A NICE AND AFFORDABLE VIBE PEDAL!!!!!! #102055devnulljpParticipantMake it a combo Big Muff/Univibe and I’d be in.
devnulljpParticipantQuote:Personally for me I fell in love with the sound after first hearing Pink floyd
“speak to me/breathe” from Dark side of the moon when I was a wee lad.…which is a univibe not a phaser (although strictly it is a kind of phaser).
I love phasers and have a bunch of them — Bad Stone, Small Stone, Phase 90, Maestro PS-1 & 1A, Mutron Phasor II, jen Motorphaser… — as well as a modern vibe clone (Hey, EHX should really do a nice vibe — pair it with a Muff in the same unit and I’d buy one).
I use them for adding subtle movement with the rate down low, or up high to kinda emulate a leslie speaker (the Jen and Maestro phasers ramp up and down when you change speeds like a leslie).Can’t stand chorus or flange, but I love phasers.
devnulljpParticipantQuote:I have an IC Muff that has a very similar issue. When I switch the muff on, even with the muff volume dimed, there doesn’t seem to be much / any volume boost over when the effect is in the chain and switched off. The difference is, even when the muff is switched off, it is still boosting the signal substantially over what volume would be if the guitar were plugged directly into the amp. I’d like to know how to fix that issue (without true bypassing).I have three of those IC muffs — a 3003, 3003B, and 1322 — as well as a Little Big Muff w/ 1322 board, and they all go well above unity. They also don’t affectthe signal (much) when off. Yours definitely has a problem. Have you cleaned the slider switch?

The later one with 3 knobs has a manual mode so you don’t use the LFO but set the phase shift manually with no sweep.Here’s some samples of the early one (although this isn’t really a v1 Bad Stone — it’s a different circuit v2 maybe?): http://www.home-wrecker.com/badstone.html
And the later one: http://www.pedalarea.com/phasers.htmThe Bad Stone is an awesome phaser and was the first with feedback.
devnulljpParticipantMy Big Muffs & family
devnulljpParticipantExcellent – Thanks.
