Arduino Granular Synthesizer
In another post I have already built a granular synthesiser. I have now done that again. Only this time I have added 2 extensions. Firstly, I have added a power switch and an LED that indicates whether the synth is switched on. Secondly, I have added a switch that switches off the MIDI processing in…

Proco – RAT – Clone
Next, I took the original RAT from ProCo. I used the circuit from TonePad: tonepad_rat.pdf. I replaced the specified JFET transistor 2N5458 with a 2N5457, as the 2N5458 I had from China was probably a fake. Fortunately I got my money back. I now understand why ProCon called this effect pedal Rat. I then…

MXR Distortion + Clone
I’m in the process of trying out some classic distortions and just building them myself. That’s what I did with the MXR Distortion +. The board is quite small and fits very well in the 1590B housing. I got the design from http://tonepad.com/project.asp?id=2 and have used “Mas Distortion, Rev.4.Dec.8.2005”.

The housing is a 1590b with a printed transparent film: It sounds good and I am completely satisfied.

Electro-Harmonix – Nano Big Muff π clone
In two previous posts I have reported that I have built two Big Muff π clones. Now I have built another version, but this time in a 1590B aluminium housing. I ordered a circuit board from JCLPCB for this. I printed the desing it on a transparent film and glued it on. I used the…

MeeBlip Anode Synthesizer
Some times before I found on http://irieelectronics.de/diy-meeblip-anode/ and http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Mini-Bass-Synth-Meeblip-Anode/ the clone of the Arduino Bass Synthesizer, MeeBlip Anode. It is open source and easy to build. The cost will be about € 40,- if you order the most parts at chinese suppliers via eBay inclusive the enclosure and all accessories. All parts are are located…
