Here's the Octave Drone from Seppuku FX. Like the Space Fuzz, it too is based on the Rambler. In fact, the Octave Drone is more than half of the Space Fuzz. This has as input switch that goes between a 4.7nf cap and a 100nf cap, much like like the Hot Silicon Tonebender. You could easily replace the switch with a B100k pot (much like the Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe), to pan between the 2 caps. You can mount the pots on the component side to have the board mounted vertically inside your enclosure if you so choose. Should fit in a 1590B without issue.
I built it like you suggested with the switch changed to a potmeter. Works like a dream. It's a nasty little fella. It picks up the octave better with my guitars than the rambler or the tentacle.
It's an on/on. Unless I specify otherwise, you can assume switches are on/on (unless it's a SPST in which case it's an on/off cuz that's how SPSTs work).
not seen the schem for this one anywhere
ReplyDeleteIt's hidden in the FSB thread on the Seppuku Space Fuzz

DeleteJust found this site. Really awesome! Wirking on this pedal today. Where is the input to the board?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Input goes to the Filter switch, lug 2.
DeleteCan't believe I missed that while looking over the layout! I see it now. Thanks for the reply!
DeleteVerified!

Works like a charm! Tried 4148, LEDs, 34a and 5817, the last two were the best.
ReplyDeleteKeep'em coming bro.
Greetings!
