Ned FlandersModerator
Hi res pics would help, all the wiring and bottom of the PCB included.
Ned FlandersModeratorI dont have that problem on my sovteks, I have 3 of them.
Ned FlandersModeratorJust buy a new adapter from buyanalogman.com
Ned FlandersModeratorYou’re unlikely to find one, My green sovtek is missing it too and you just cant get them anywhere.
Ned FlandersModeratorRetrace your work, you have probably made a mistake somewhere, you will find it given enough time.
Ned FlandersModeratorCheck you didnt break loose any wires.
Ned FlandersModeratorIf you want a real vintage styled one you can make them out of old 9V batteries. I’ve done this before and they are actually stronger than any you can buy.
Ned FlandersModeratorThe immediate differences are the fact that one you can set in a few seconds while the others take a lot of messing with to get your favorite sounds. The small stone is the best of the simple phasers around IMO.
Ned FlandersModeratorWhy NOS for a moddern pedal? doesn’t make any sense!
Any electronics store has battery snaps.Ned FlandersModeratorYou cant do a blend unless you build a buffer to use with it otherwise all your doing is making a feedback loop that wont sound good at all. Bias pots on Big Muffs are useless unlike a fuzzface type fuzz whereas they are extremely useful. You can add a sag pot easily enough, just wire a 25kB pot in series with the battery, between the battery and the PCB.
If you want the feedback loops you linked switchable just use a SPST or SPDT switch wired between the two points on the PCB, solder the wires that connect to the switch to the back of the PCB.
Adding the mids control is pointless IMO if you are doing the tone bypass mod because that recovers all the mids. I would do one or the other, not both.
TBH, the big muff is not a good pedal for crazy sounding mods and fuzz faces are much more moddable IMO.
Ned FlandersModeratorI wouldnt pay it either but if i had millions of dollars i’d buy it cause money wouldnt mean shit to me. On my income this auction isntt even an option considering the price he wants.
Ned FlandersModeratorThe NYC and LBM schematics do differ, the LBM is bassier but it sounds similar to the NYC because it is a Big Muff after all.
I hated the LBM so I modded mine into an NYC muff.
Get the tone wicker muff, its better than both of these.Ned FlandersModeratorIf you wired it identical to my diagram it will work because I made that diagram form my own unit when I modded it and mine works.
Look at your last photo>The input jack wire must be soldered to the bottom right lug )back view) of the 6 lugs on the input jack, that will be your input wire and it will go to the switch.
Ned FlandersModeratorIt sounds goob IMo, the first stage of the big muff is similar to a LPB1 anyways.
March 11, 2009 at 9:24 pm in reply to: Help needed with wiring Small Stone Issue J for True Bypass #94411Ned FlandersModeratorI TB’d my vintage unit just fine, you need to ground the effect input or it will oscillate in bypass mode.
Just run a wire from effect input, not the in jack, but the effect in to ground, it will fix your problem.
If you only have a DPDT re wire it like the DPDT switch in this diagram, the one on the bottom left corner.
