Just finished a Relay Bypass pedal for my Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 effects loop.
Very simple design, but efficient.
This remains now a hobby, but I used to do: Handmade clones of Guitar & Bass Effect Pedals / Effect modding / Rewiring and Guitar Setups+levelling+refrets / Amplifier Repairs / General Audio Repairs

Fixed a deluxe bass Big Muff belonging to a friend of a friend (he sent me some pedals to test for fun and he included this faulty unit). Works now.
Swapped the NJM4558 IC-s in every monitor with OPA1602 IC-s and also removed the limiter circuit.
Now, they don't push exaggerated mids that much, and are a little flatter. A little better for accurate mixing and monitoring.
Yesterday I've finished the second attenuator clone of my first clone 🤣 (SPL Reducer).
Absolutely useful, even if only resistive, and didn't have to pay 800+ euro for the originals new 🫠😱
Now I can have my stereo setup with an attenuator per amp/w. two cabs each.
Specs:
This clone is based on the TC Electronic Integrated Preamp, but this also has a buffer at the circuit input, always connected when switched on. Bypass is true bypass.
This is basically what the Fortin 33 is also (a previous clone of mine as well), but I missed the control for bass and treble and I decided to do this version as well.
For some reason I got bored 😆 and used mostly carbon comp resistors and partially some different type caps.
“Mojo” …. if you will haha.
