anybody interested in this?



here is some info:
http://www.sequencer.de/syns/mfb/FilterBox.html

got one. nearly unused. thinkin bout selling that thing.
it filters like mad and the 8 step sequencer where every step got a different cutoff makes pretty much anything "move"
nice thingy of course!!!!
maybe I am keeping it, hahaha
but p.m. me if you want it!

how much is that thing worth?




this is actually an up for my previous post :p ha ha kiddin..pm me.

can somebody tell me how much these are worth used:



thahaaanks

150 200 usd

fuck really?
great. Ive got one lying around and a zvex FF (handpainted) and I think I only need one of these. which one should I sell?
I tend to the muff, cause the FF is just too strange and cool sounding

Has anyone tried playing guitar through the korg monotron synth? I'm thinking of getting one.

another price question (sorry, but thanks anyway):

Ad 80 260-380. And worth every penny

thanks again.
yes I got one too. (plus replacement chainbucket-chip)
the only problem is I need a 18V power adaptor cause it eats batteries like there is no tomorrow.
but I love that thing to death. bought it in paris 5 or 6 years ago after comparing it to some vintage maxxons and an ibanez ad-9. this was by faar the most ghostly sounding.
I was never brave enough to fuck around with the trim pot? would that be a good idea? and would it be possible to restore it to the "standard" setting (like making a dot where it once was) or is there the possibility of screwing it completely?

well, on the circuit board the trim pot is small and looks like a circle with an "arrow" inside it, a very slight adjustment can go along way and really change things so be aware of that, it can also take the sound away completely. the best thing for you to do is if there is room take a super fine point sharpie and mark what the current setting is, then you can always go back to it if you need to... nice and simple.

btw, if it was me i would keep the muff too, i also have a fuzz factory love it and also find it too intense for my guitar/amp combination but teh array of sounds possible from it is awesome... the muff is my fav. general fuzz/distortion unit and the green sovteks are increasing in desirability, right now because of the way the world economy is its more of a buyers market than a sellers i don't think you'd get as much as you could for it. i remember seeing even the green sovteks going for almost $300 now they've dropped down just like alot of stuff.

really for abut 300?
I totally missed that. I still thought these things are common just like when I bought it 10 years ago. but maybe you are right. think about keeping it as you suggested. even like the combo of the muff & the FF.
argh, my collectors heart starts to destroy my "clean-up" plan hahaha...again

haha i know what you mean... maybe i was exxagerating but i definitly thought i had seen the green muffs going at least $265 to $275 at one point on ebay, the early version EH models and odd ball early sovteks go for over $300 now... yeah the Green Russians were common 10 years ago, now they are getting scarce and sought over and especially now that EH has stopped producing the black russian sovtek big muff (now the blackies go for more than they were originally...) guitar gear is just ridiculus in my opinion... i've got a boatload of pedals that i don't use and i'm trying to figure out if i sell them or not...

so I talked to both Jesus and Neitzche and they agreed, you should just give em to me :)

same for me here, just only less boxes I think :)
only thing for sure I will sell is the mfb filterbox. recently out of production so gaining ome value, hopefully

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

is that squarewave?

yep http://www.catalinbread.com/Valcoder.html

that looks cool nicfit, do you play your bass through that?

yep.
There's a "youtube demo" with bass, but it's pretty bad (the demo, not the pedal).
My present goal is to build a pedals setup that's equally effective (with different results, obviously) both with bass nd guitars, up till now the idea is working pretty great..

nice man, sounds like a good idea. I was just checking out a couple of guitar demos of it on youtube, just went back to look for that bass demo, I can see that working well. You play guitar as well then?

I really want too build up a little pedal setup, never really use them, don't actually own any myself atm. I like the idea of making it compatible with both bass and guitar though.

my actual setup isn't much complicated, but sounds mighty good imo (it's not cheap, but not superpricey either)..

korg pitchblack->catalinbread SFT->MXR Carbon copy->catalinbread valcoder

the sft sounds supergood with guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtrmxACnMhA
I want to try a malekko 616 (actually I hoped for a tap-tempo from them) instead of the MXR, but there's no rush. Nor money ha ha.

I'm not much of a guitar player, but I'm tryin' ha ha..

holy fuck shit:

edit: never tried mine on bass, is it really that good?
how about synth bass? like on a minimoog? if anybody got some listening examples, would be helpful.
if not I will have to try it by myself

It's not out until July 9th, but I want one, and I intend to.

if a switch on the fuzz factory randomly (when stomped) switches the efx on/off, does that mean the switch is broken or does it mean something more complex, like a broken connection between the electronic parts?

thinking bout selling one, but wanna get it fixed beforehand

based on experience it probably means that the switch is going bad, as its not keeping connection to either keeping the effect on/off... i also have a fuzz factory but i haven't really examined the "guts", i believe that the switch is not hardwired to the board which will make putting a replacement switch easier...

which fuzz factory do you have? the vexter series units have an LED which would require a 3pdt type switch to make it true-bypass w/ an LED, the hand painted originals have a dpdt switch to the best of my knowledge as these units do not have an LED. Small bear electronics is a good place to get replacement parts for effects (also there is Mouser, forget Ratshack they don't have these type of switches anyways). you need to de-solder the old switch and solder in the new switch making sure all the connections go to the same place (which are the board inputs/outputs, jack inputs/outputs, ground and LED if necessary).

Ive got the older one, handpainted. no LED
thank you for the information!
will have to search for a retailer in germany to get the switch. would be to expanive to import it, I think.
as long as it is just to solder some contacts, I am fine and can do it by myself!
thanks again

Pedal I built for a friend. Thought you guys would enjoy.

that pedal is brilliant! It sounds like a maxed out fuzz but those little lo-fi digital spikes it does are really cool..... what else do you make?!?

I ordered the new Electro Harmonix "Freeze" Sound Retainer. Looks pretty neatoooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Well that's the 2nd pedal I've made, though I've done a bunch of mods before that, and I almost fully designed a digital controller pedal, and then I took a break from that for awhile because it was frustrating.

Currently I've got a more advanced prototyped (meaning I have a breadboard mounted to a block of wood with some metal panels with knobs and jacks on it) version of that fuzz, I'm working on a typical noisy fuzz face type thing, and I've also prototyped a 2 channel mixer and a compressor for a couple of friends.

The 1st pedal I made was a simple ABY.


The freezer is cool, but in some ways I'd just like to get a 2nd HOG. :D

Hi guys, suggestions for nice pedals similar to Catalinbread's Bacalooper? size kinda matters...

I lost the power source to my poly-chorus over a year ago.. But, I recently found out they're only $9.99 on musicians friend. I can't what to have that godamn pedal back!!

bumpty bump

I could make you one nicfit

I would LOVE this!
I guess the concept/schematics must be quite simple even with true bypass and decent components..
I'm seriously intrigued :D, lemme know via pm if/how we can make this happen..

p.s. I bumped this thread coz I saw you around syg he he, but I didn't expect such reply..
p.p.s. I want to try some of the ehx nano series thingies...

I haven't gotten many new effects recently. I think the most recent, a Keeley modded Boss DS-1. It's koo! I didn't comment since, but I did get the EHX Freeze. It's very cool. I'll record and post some samples with it, but I've been doing acoustic treatment in my room and all my gear is cluttered to the middle of my room.

I'm kinda moving on to signal processing. Just added a couple nice mic pre.'s. An Avalon 737sp and in contrast, but nice compliment got a Universal Audio LA-610 MKII classic tube channel.

Have you considered making your own line of pedals? I know the boutique pedal market is flooded, but something like the circuit bent / fuzz one you made has it's place. Have you made others? Can it be duplicated or was the results of random experimenting? Could you make one by request? I could put one to good use!

It can be duplicated. . . It's just a matter of time and money.

I'll be getting circuit boards printed soon so I don't have to use perfboards for it anymore. I've added more controls to it to do more stuff too.

Plus I've got some other stuff to work on soon too.

Here's the deluxe version I'm working on. . . the art's come out spectacularly. I'm really getting a better handle on this stuff now. I learn lessons in each build I do and each one gets a little bit nicer than the last.

the purple tentacle one is badass

that's my tentaclooper!
