i wanna join!

if u consider it as RM20 per pc for the woh fatt's DPDT = RM40 for a pair... vs 3PDT at US$14.10 (RM53) a pair from diystompboxes. so its 13 bucks less. but looking at the difference, i'd rather go for the 7 bucks extra per 3PDT switch.

using 3pdt switches is easier to get a true bypass right? but atm we are still very new.... so, i thinks better we start of with something fairly simple and use cheaper parts first....
when we're better and capable of making complex pedals, then i think 3pdt will be a better buy then....

my 2cents only tho

but with the DPDT it adds more complication (wiring LED, and true bypass). besides, your switches can be reused even if u fail.

now somebody here wants some ! some buttsecks! c'mon ledzep,sean, heat up em guns! grrr!

agreed. we can save a few bucks and the hassle of ordering online for now.

well, the millenium bypass doesnt seem too bad.


but we won't discount the fact that we will need em 3PDT switches soon.


ok here's my progress with the beginner booster project.

first time i did it, didint work , cause i used a wrong board (supposed to be pad per hole perfboard. I also used the wrong parts , such as the wrong input cap, bloody shop supplied me the wrong one. sean take note.

so i went to buy a breadboard, and learnt a little on how breadboards work. i tried about 3 rounds on the breadboard, then on the final round, the circuit worked. em, there was sound, rather than the last times, when there was even any guitar sound, which showed the circuit is complete. but theres a problem, when i turn the pot around, it doesnt seem to have any effect on the sound. and when i max out the pot, the sound turns soft, thin, and farty. heh.

at least there is sound now, im gonna have to find out why it isnt working properly tho.

Sean, your sig is stretching the pagelar... Damn hard to read all the posts, please edit!

Wow, your project's showing some progress nick_drake! Keep it up!!!

noprb. felt bad i forgot to call sean and you if wanted a breadboard or not. nvm...i'll be going donw there yet again sometime later. to get switches.

you can just try both switches 1st before you guys make any bulk orders. 3pdt switches are alot easier to make true bypass pedal. DPDTs aren't that expensive.... im bloody sure you can get it cheaper else where. 20 a pop is fuking ridiculous.

yea you can desolder the components.

yeah, me knows it is ridiculous. but i tried jalan pasar and all...stumped with where else to try.

20, well, its a little cheaper than ordering online, those 3PDT's.

well, i gotta get my project to work first on breadboard, its farting when i max out my volume on the guitar. and scratchy when i turn my guitar volume.

Just wanna check, do we all need 3pdt. most of the schematics i know runs on dpdt. Still back to the question of what kind of effects we wanna build.

If we're gonna do effects, anyone thinking of building amps? JCM800-2203?

Hah with amps you're toying with lethal voltage & knowing how careless I am, I better stay away from those, it's a matter of life and death, so good luck to anyone who wants to build their own amp!!

We should issue a warning. maybe do a 50w ones.

3PDT saves u the hassle of having to build another small circuit to include an led. with a DPDT, erm..i dont knw how it can work with an led without a millenium bypass.

im still very new.
hehe...we better keep a 50km radius away from chanti.
heh...if u click on the links on myt first post, there are small amp projects there. 5-10 watt tube amps. check em out for fun's sake.

gawd! im so happy! relieved! after 3-4 days of working on it.

yeah..now need to get casing, switches, led's, diodes, for the milbypass.



c'mon guys! start making pedals!

Congrats man!!! Not a bad effort, keep us updated with your progress.

And oh, enjoy listening to the Indo station.

no time go jalan pasar get all the stuffs le..
led zep, come we go this friday... haha

Damn busy with assignments lar haha...
Plus, I already got the stuff. You should've joined us last week.

btw, what u planning to build monny? start with this booster la?
yeah ledzep, your stuff's still with me. uhm..ill give it to u when the holiday's over. ok?

Congrats dude!
I'm also very busy with assignments...
