I'm considering buying a Chroma Console from Hologram. I really like what it does in all the videos I've seen. But to use it effectively, I'll also need the Sends module for my After Later Audio eurorack mixer and an effect inserts module. I guess I'll have to wait until I've saved up a little more money.

The regular Pi is, I think, from 2008. And, there's the new one.

First impressions are that it compresses more and has a smoother sound to it than the older one. The older one sounds grittier.

This will be slightly #geeky, and probably only of interest to #electronics hobbyists and #guitar players. I happen to sit in the intersection of that particular #Venn diagram.

When I was a teenager, having only been playing guitar for a few years, I owned a guitar #effects pedal that went on to become legendary - the Boss HM-2 "Heavy Metal" #pedal. Its sound is still ubiquitous in metal.

I don't have it any more. I think I traded it for an analog chorus, which was a seriously expensive pedal back then. Although I have other #distortion effects, I've missed it a lot over the years.

Well, lots of hobbyists build their own effects. And the circuit schematics for many effects, particularly the classics, are available online. So like many others, I decided to build my own HM-2.

This image is the schematic for the #HM2. It's not the most complicated pedal, but it's a league above something like an Ibanez Tube Screamer. As far as active devices go, it's got 6 #opamps and 10 #transistors of various types, along with a bunch of diodes for multiple types and stages of clipping, and the usual jumble of capacitors and resistors. Oh, and four potentiometers.

This is my vintage (1964/65?) FAL Treble Booster pedal.
It is 60 years old and seems to be un-modded and works beautifully - lovely sound.
My phone audio recorder does seem to have a slight hernia when the Treble Booster starts.
I am not a guitarist so, apologies for that.
This pedal has a Mullard OC44 Made in Holland germanium transistor.
Though it doesnt have a FAL label on it, it is identical to this ( ah no links, look up freestompboxes org topic 17379 p2).#effectpedal

I'm hosting a couple of effects pedals soldering workshops in November in Berlin!

Delay on Nov 10 — takes a bit more effort to build, but a lot of fun to play with 📻

Fuzz on Nov 17 — super easy to build, pure gnarl 😅

Upcoming Workshops

I'm making a beginner-friendly introduction to analog audio electronics workshop in Berlin on September 1!

https://pedalmarkt.com/products/01-09-2024-elements-gain-and-tone-effect-construction-workshop

This is basically an "all you need to get started making effects" affair. We'll talk about gain and tone circuits. How to analyze, design and try out schematics.

Everything you need to continue working at home is included: parts, breadboard, prototyping jig.

01.09.2024 Elements: Gain & Tone, effect construction workshop

I gave my Big Muff Pi (which is already modded/not stock anyway) a custom trans pride inspired paint job today to occupy myself. It came out better than I expected. Used acrylic markers for it.

So I could get a Muffuletta 6-in-1 #Muff #fuzz #pedal for $200 r/t $250 while they're on sale.
Triangle, Pi, Ram's Head, Russian, Ciivil War. I read that the mids vary.
