that would be a great option for the AR's. if people wanted it, charge somewhere between $10-$20 extra for it. its a thought.

It's this kind of stuff that makes me wish I paid more attention in science class....*sigh*

What does dying battery fuzz sound like exactly? Lots of drop outs?

Beavis audio has a cool page on it:

I love the use of the volt o meter.

Its more sparttery and less focused, I think its essentally what the "stab" control does on the fuzz factory.

Yes and no, depends on the pedal, I have done this with quite a few fuzzes (experimenting with the pot values too, for some reason i thought it was supposed to be a 100K pot, 2K is pretty much exactly right).

On most of the pedals i have added this to it does create drop outs, as [u=freeridestylee] says it also can make the sound more "spattery" (good term, describes it exactly IMO) for one pedal it made a drone sound at halfway (dan mini black coffee). The Marshall Mini amps sound cool with this mod too - my poor amp, every time I turn it on it ends up with a new mod

If you mod your own pedals, or circuit bend them this is an excellent mod, you can usually find enough room in enclosures to add another pot, or if not, a dpdt toggle with a small resistor, or Devi's idea

These examples are all based on the use of a battery, but could it also work when used with just an adaptor, placing the 2k potentiometer between the circuit and the DC jack?

should be the same principle, but I haven't tried it myself...

It should work the same with an adaptor.
You just need two jacks and a cable to hook it up.
Note analog delays tend to just die when the voltage drops, no neat effects at all.
Haven’t tried it with tremolos or vibes though.

MM

I want to try this with a delay or envelope pedal.

think im gunna try this w/ my big muff reissue this week/weekend.

i really like the idea of having a battery sag box to hook up to any pedal, but one thing at a time.

my 05 battery has been dying for about a week or so and its been my fav pedal during that time, gunna be sad when i have to put a new one in, its still on its original battery.....my how they grow up so fast haha

I've tried this thing with my mini amp, but I have to find the right pot + experiment... btw Drohnwerks has been great (thanks).

I'm working on a few projects, but I wont be able to get under way until sometime next year. Though anything I do make I will take pics of + post them on the forum. :smoke:

Is it possible to do the same thing with a power supply?

With something like this maybe ? (it features both battery and power supply)



(sorry for the over-sized pot.. )

Wow
thanx man!
