[sdiy] project recomendation: tonepad's Small Clone clone (ahem...)

[anthony]

I breadboarded tonepad's circuit for a clone of Electro-Harmonix Small clone 
a while ago. I've been playing with it for a while now with various flangers 
and phasers and I have to say this pedal is absolutely suPERB!

I recommend adding a proper depth control and a switch to switch in and out 
a larger timing cap. This effect is really amazing when you give it the 
capability of looong delays (not too long, I think I added 50-75 pF).

At slow speeds it's really liquidy and you don't get a lot of up-down sea 
sickness unless the depth is way up, but it always seems to be very musical 
at almost any setting. With the speed all the way up it's the best vibrato 
from a BBD based effect I ever heard.  I was going to paint mine with a 
little picture of a clown (get it? Small Clown - HAHAHAHAHA! But I like the 
rough unmarked ruddy primered box with light blue knobs with dot pointers I 
have it in.)

In fact I really don't think I'm doing the pedal justice anymore by calling 
it a Small Clone clone. Only thing I'm more proud of is the guitar amp I 
made from 2 octal tubes and old radio junk - sounds like a million bucks.

cheers,
anthony
