When I think to use guitar pedal effects as outboard, in a recording setup, I have a very slick setup (IMHO!): I use one or two Radial Engineering EXTC500 interfaces that I have wired as ADAT IO in my studio. It’s really slick! I can send any DAW track (mono or stereo) out to a…
I recently bought an old and (ab)used tube screamer that was making annoying buzzing, crackling and popping noises when turned on, and I thought the fix(es), as well as my debugging approach might be useful to other owners… First, yes I know pedals like these high gain overdrives are inclined to pick up mains hum,…
An audio circuit test probe is a really simple, but useful tool when testing and debugging audio circuits. The one I’m presenting here is a little over the top(!) – you can build an equivalent much simpler and cheaper – but this one’s for me, and I like making things! Fundamentally, what I ‘m building…
I built these development board / test boxes to give me a robust and practical way to prototype my guitar effects pedals. They are pretty solid and can easily move from work bench to the floor for testing – especially with the onboard battery. The PCB ensures a solid connection to route power and audio…
