Re: That Pedal Show Tonebender Special
With a power filter cap you don't need to limit the attack knob's range (or only in some cases if it's too small) to prevent oscillation.Philip wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:32 amThat reason being?Electric Warrior wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 1:18 pm
The most interesting of the fuzzbugs would be the early MKII variant without the power filter cap, but that's actually a thing that was fixed early on for good reason..
Everything is transitional.

My old supa mk2 oscillated from around 3 ‘ o’clock on the attack knob.Electric Warrior wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 6:05 pmWith a power filter cap you don't need to limit the attack knob's range (or only in some cases if it's too small) to prevent oscillation.Philip wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:32 amThat reason being?Electric Warrior wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 1:18 pm

Would that maybe have had a small value power filter cap?

Re: That Pedal Show Tonebender Special
Yes, yours only had a 25µF. I believe during that era they simply added a second 25µF in parallel in case of oscillation (bringing the total value up to 50µF). Those would be soldered to the wires of the first 25µF. We've seen quite a number of variants of the piggybacked cap, but no WIMAs yet.
There are also units that have two 25µFs soldered to the circuit board. I guess those could be from a slightly later era, when someone had decided that 50µF should be standard? Those are always two WIMAs.

I've had mostly love from the 'normy' ( - love it ) community after the show although one guy called me a disgusting old man exploiting his dead relatives !
I told him I'm 56 , I'm not that old !
I tried to make it entertaining - hope it was

Good Job Ant!
If I make take the opportunity to say that the housing of that Fuzz Bug is DEAD SEXY!
That was really a treat!
Thank you!!!!
