Pitch Pirate Deluxe Vero - Verified

[notnews]

Hey All
This is on my list of projects to take on in the next couple of weeks
while I'm waiting for a stock replenishment via USPS I've been doing a little reading into LED/LDRs and sequencers.. I've yet to build a sequencer (usually, for me, playing around with circuits hands-on and wiring things up then turning them on to see/measure what happens is the best way for me to learn), but this site has produced a handful of seemingly useless sequencer layouts, the Baby8 and Vanishing Point being two of them.
I understand that it may not be the most musical/useful match-up, but if I wanted to integrate a sequencer into the Pitch Pirate build.. say Neil's Vanishing Point (thank you Neil).. would I leave the anode of the LED in it's place on the PP layout, and wire the cathode of the LED to the output of the VP? As I understand it, the only way the VP connects to the PP is to the cathode of the LED in the PP.

Do I wire the cathode to the output of the VP, and nothing to the cathode hole in the PP layout? or wire both the cathode of the LED and the VP output to the same hole in the PP layout?

Thanks =)

Just a quick message to say an NSL32 works perfectly well in my build (non deluxe Pitch Pirate).

Built the vero that adapt posted with success. What a nice delay and vibrato effect! I used a TL072 instead of the 4558 and initially had some ticking from the LFO. I had missed a cut under a resistor. Now it works perfectly.

Im looking at the layout posted by adapt http://guitar-fx-layouts.42897.x6.nabble.com/file/n17675/jsKAWSs.png and it says 44 cuts, but I only count 43......... am I going blind or mad?

I built two times the standard version and sounds amazing. Here is a demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4JfG71nTW4&feature=youtu.be

I recommend a C1M for speed, A20K for depth (linear is very sudden), B25K for blend and B1K for Wave.

With a 4558, the ticking was still too much so i went with a 062.

[Boba7]

I confirm 43 cuts and delay time 3 should be delay time 1

LDR from tayda with a diffused yellow led works just fine. And LM386 L sounds better than LM386 N1 (both from Tayda)

Also used a TL022 for the LFO to attenuate any ticking noise and put Midwayfair's limiter led on the PT2399 to eliminate any distortion (also affects in a good way the oscillation volume)

Oh and I chose to wire a volume pot instead of having the 100k trimpot. So just wire the input to pin 3 of a 100kB, pin 2 goes to row A/line D, pin 1 goes to row A/line E

Thanks a LOT for the great layout.

Built the adapt layout. Works but needed some tweaks....for whatever reason I had No clean signal on my blend pot (only had a dual A10k pot so that may be why) but full effect at the end of the sweep. I jumped A1 to B3 on the pot and it solved the low volume\blend weirdness. Sweet!

Tried 4558 062 and 022 but im still getting the dreaded tick but it's manageable. Still want to try the midwayfair LED limiter but all in all this thing rules.

I already built this pedal twice and had no problem with the blend. The problems I encountered are as follows, when the time is at 0, the delay does not work and with the maximum speed the same occurs. In both cases it was only put a small resistance in series that the problem was solved.

I also find the delay a bit noisy and have modified the capacitors that filter the output. Unfortunately I lost some repetition volume, but I was able to solve the problem.


Here's a video I recently did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m62hyzFONUg

Yes Midwayfair's limiter led works really well. 

Regarding the ticking, it's the reason the guy from Midfi uses the led in the led/ldr section as the bypass led. That way when the pedal is switched off, the led is off, and no ticking! 

What I did is I put a 100r/100uf between the 9v and the lfo IC. No ticking time anymore!

Also the circuit works better with a buffer in front in my opinion (a simple jfet buffer in my case)

Well one 100ohm resistor later and boom! Tick free! I use a regulated supply so im not too worried about the cap at the end. Thanks!

[nonost]

What should we do with FS ground?

[nonost]

Built it! This thing is amazing. I think FS ground is supposed to go to ground when bypass in order to disconnect the LFO, but I didn't hear any difference. Mine is very very silent running with battery. I have to try it with power supply to see how it behaves.

Everything is working as expected but the Delay. The pot works ok, since it goes from short to long time, but I only get one repetiton. Where should I look careful in? I've checked everything several times and I can't find any mistake.

Hey,

I'll probably build the standard version, thanks for the layout !

Can I replace the LDR with a Silonex NSL-5542 or NSL-5152 ? Only things I can get here...

Also, the D2 is the LED that will appear on the top of the box or is it just for the sound ? And what's the point of LED + and LED - ?

The Deluxe version calls for a Dual potentiometer, is it the same for this version of a regular B50K will do the job ?

I'm kind of a noob so it may seem like I'm asking dumb questions haha

Thanks in advance !
