About a year ago I saw the first time the Boss OC-2 Nintendo mod on Youtube. Since I was looking for a cheap OC-2 and one week ago I finally found one for quite nothing on a flea market.
First I had to mention that that the schematic in the video doesn’t correspond with my OC-2 which is the Japanese Version. Even if the error is minimal, here is the correct schematic and layout:
First I tried the mod like mentioned in the video with one switch for the two sub-octaver (OCT1 and OCT2), but it was little to harsh for me, especialy OCT2. So I installed a second switch, now I can activate the mod for each octave. The main reason why I recommend to try this is the OCT 2 which is hard to exploit due to the gliches. So we smooth out the signal via the envelope and filter circuit and we get the little extra thickness without heavy gliches. Please watch the youtube video for D.I.Y. or send me a mail me if you want me do that for you.
Cute little mixer from Schlumberger, a paris based constructor, dissapeared in the 80′ i think. This little monster makes me feel like i got a Studer in my bag, i will try it with a Apogee One soundcard and iPad next week. Works with wallwart power supply or 8 batteries ( the big ones ).
Hello everyone,
sad to say but I had little time to write since october. The new Workshop in Le Kalif brought me (much) more work. Even so much work that I didn’t had time to build some effects. but here some excellent photos from the last months.
Yesterday a Friend and I recorded some Samples with a TR606 and Guitar, but also with the Oscillator. I invite you to take a look, there is a cool Derrick Theme Cover:
I did five Bassket Case Fuzzes over the Weekend, so after those how are already sold 3 left in Stock ready to be shipped! Samples with bass guitar are coming soon…
This is the last so called RadioAmp I restored. As I bought the radio in it didn’t power up. All condensators and the blown power tube where changed. Sad to say that the Radio won’t receive any radio anymore, but the power amp worked fine. It has a good drive and tone controle, I did a mod with the EM84 magic Eye Tube, now it works as VU Meter. For easy use on bigger concerts I also added a Line Out with volume control.
The Magnetic Shit Wah is based on the very popular Atari Punk Console Schematic. The Pedal is used much like an optic Wah, but it doesn’t filter your tone, in fact it uses the light sensor to control the LFO Frequency and your guitars Volume Pot to control the envelope Frequency. This means that playing the guitar will not generate any tone, all you had do is turning the Volume and hide the Light sensor making fancy Square wave Sounds. This Pedal works only with passive instruments!
The Pedal has two Switches for different Frequencies on LFO and Envelope, Volume Control and is powered by any Boss-style 9V Power Supply. It features a USB plug on the back for USB Light if you play in dark places, but you can also charge any device via USB (tested with iPhone, Android Mobiles and GPS).
A Friend found a broken Dildo in the streets some time ago and I had the Idea that it would be much funnier if a Dildo plays a melody with his motor. After some work I managed to get it working on batteries with the original power control. I look forward to make other melodies and I will try to sell them as “best birthday (or wedding, Xmas…) card” in the world. I already made the wedding march and I will do other popular melody’s.
Turn up the volume, since the speaker is the motor you actually feel more the melody than you hear it.
This brand new Ampeg Heritage SVT-CL fell from about 2m high. The Case was literally in pieces…no wonder about. This amp weights 36kg and has 300W from 6 KT-88. I was surprised that everything worked, no blown tubes, nothing!
I ordered a new Case from a lokal carpenter (which was delivered under one week, thank you Atelier Servo) and I put some Black Tolex on. The Amp looks like new now.
Hello everyone, it’s been a while since the last Post, but not because it’s holidays for everyone here in france but because I got lot’s of things to do:
New FX to come:
Magnetic Shit Wah, formerly Shitstrom: the internal design has been improved for easy and quick wiring. It’s a Atari Punk Console build like a little optical tremolo, the Optical sensor controls the LFO, the instruments Volume Pot the Envelope. I allso added a USB Plug and 5V regulator for a USB Bulb. So it will easier to use in dark places, but you can also charge you iPhone . A first Design was made by Ben but we where unsatisfied with the etching. A new design will come till end of next week. Target Price: 69€ (hey it’s just a APK)
Here is the clip I made a long time ago:
Reampin Box:
Second attempt to make a affordable Re-Amping box. Sadly to say that, but they won’t be out of wood like earlier this year. Sometimes it cost’s to much efford working with other people… Instead it will be out of aluminum with a nice self explaining etching. The XLR/Jack Combo is replaced by a Stereo Jack, it still accepts asymmetrical and symmetrical Signals. Target Price: 49€
BBQ 50/8 aka Attenuator 50W/8Ohm:
After a testing periode of 3 months with a Orange Rockverb 50 this little Attenuator will be available as soon as I have a nice design for the etching. It has 3 switches: Bypass, attenuation (2 positions) and HI-Pass (3 positions: 0, 1, 2). it doesn’t has a line out or other functions to keep the price low and so it can fit in a small (box 11x6x3cm). It’s for people looking only for low volume without a 200€ budget.
Price under 90€
Others:
My work was (far) more present on this years Terrasses du Jeudi, a “big” event in Rouen every thursday evening during july.
Take a look at the red reverb with my Logo used by Willo. They also used the Bassket Case Fuzz and the Organs Amp is a Grundig 3303WF Radio I modified (of course with line out!). I really appreciated their concert!
Divine s Orchestra did a real good job Place St. Marc. Somebody told me they will play will Tahiti 80 at the Trianon Transatlantique (Rouen/France) in October… Congratulations to Divines Orchestra, soon you will play with Pink Floyd mates
For those how hide official events there was the Balcon du Jeudi Rue eau de Robec:
Thank you mike.
p.s. if your to drunk to hold a camcorder, stop filming and party!
Soon…
End of August my workshop will move to Le Kalif. For their 15. Birthday we will do some showcases for my stuff and I will make some educational Workshops later (build a Tube Screamer, APK’s and other one day courses).
26-27. August:
I will be present with my Stand the whole Weekend. Please visit!
1958 2,5Watt Tube Guitar Amp, good cosmetic condition, with AM Radio. Features 4 band AM Radio, all working, guitar input, Volume and Tone Controle. Tubes used as guitar amp: 6AB6,EL84.
Big Fuzz with the warboost. Cool as saloon or small recording Amp, nice clean sound. even your girlfriend will like it!
Two Years ago a Friend and I built a 360° video system wich worked quite well. We recorded with a VHS camcorder and the ‘lense’ was built out of PVC Pipes, Plexiglass and chromed table ware. Nils converted the video some time ago and last week he did a small web-based player. The sound is distorted and it has huge pixels, but it works:
Last Week I did some small repairs on this Vox 760 in excellent condition. The Owner has not only the amp he has allso the original Cabinet and the Footswitch. These Amps are now very rare, built in the late 1960′. These Amps have a Transistor Preamp and 60Watt Tube Output stage. The sound is just nice! They have a kind of Boost with a creamy Fuzz, one of the best sounding Amps I ever worked on!
He want’s to sell it for about 5000€ with the original 2×12″ Cabinet (original Speakers re-coned!!!, it’s the same like in the Photo below) and Footswitch. I think that’s a rather fair price, I already saw the Head only for 6500€ on Ebay. Send me a mail if your interested and I will give you the contact.
Here a Photo from the John Lennon using this kind of Amp:
