Hi guys, would like to know your feedback on true bypass pedals and vintage chips..

Please feel free to post your review on pedals that you have played with the "true bypass" or vintage chips? and feel free to post your vintage pedal pics?

I have done a few A/B test out mainly on TS-9 Vs Ts-9 RI, DS-2 MIJ Vs DS-2 MIT.. the difference is usually a more warmer balanced tone from the older electronics. I'm wondering if this could be just on overdrive and distortion pedals or in all the other pedal like the flanger, phaser, etc...

I would like to get some feedback as well on classic american pedals like the tape echo, arbiter fuzz face, klon centaur, sola sounds, maxons? If you guys have played any of this?

Thanks...

Aku nak bagi pendapat skit.

true bypass pedals
- sebenarnya ada pekara lain yang kita perlu consider pasal true bypass.
- katalah kita jadikan DS-1 taiwan true bypass, tapi bila No masuk litar sebenarnya still ada satu lagi buffer before masuk the real distortion stage.
- So why kita pastikan satu pedal tu kena tru bypass padahal dalan circuit pedal tu sendiri memang ada area tersumbat.
- Tip utk korang, sebenarnya, fet buffer pada pedal boss biasanya akan makan midrange dari raw pickup signal.
- mean semakin banyak pedal boss dalam chain maka semakin scoop la signal walo pun masing masing dalam keadaan OFF.
- So diorang pun suggest kat aku loop box. Ya i know that. Tapi walopun aku guna loop box, dalam keadaan pedal ON still kita akan melalui fet buffer juga. KECUALI remove semua the buffer thing, macam kita buat kat crybaby.
- Dan masalah maybe akan timbol apa bila timbol plak pop sound masa ON OFF litar.


vintage chips
- benda ne sebenarnya tak perlu dipertikaikan.
- pembuatan chip sebenarnya semakain terevolusi tapi audio/pedal teknology bukan lah primary dalam bidang ne.
- maksudnya satu chip tu dibuat bukan sebab nak buat pedal jer. Maybe lebih kepada arus nyer amplifier dimana tak perlu nak kekalkan sweet spot, the noise or sebagainya.
- Vintage chip sebenarnya ada banyak masalah, ada yang banyak noise dan ada yang tak tahan lasak. dan ada yang tak ikut standard.
- Macam LM308 utk rat adalah chip yang bagus utk pedal tapi utk bidang lain ia bukan lah satu pilihan yang tepat. SO akhirnya kita hanya bergantung kepada TLO72 sebab TLO lebih bersesuaian kepada banyak electronik dan bukan pedal guitar jer. dan pengilang pun tutup kedai utk buat LM308 dan consentrate kepada chip yang lebih berdaya saing.
- Utk DIYer la, aku sebnarnya biasa guna chip ikut kesuaian walopun sebenarnya kalo boleh semua chip aku nak try masuk pedal. Dengar dan adakah ia sesuai. Kalo nak selesaikan masalah noise maybe ada chip dia. kalo nak selesaikan masalah gain maybe lain plak chip dia.
- Walo cam mana pun ada juga musik kita tak sesuai dengan vintage pedal.


Component.
- sebenarnya satu circuit ne bukan lah hanya bergantung kepada satu satu componen jer.
- semua part dan design ada peranan masing masing.
- dalam pedal moden, mereka lebih pentingkan gain berbanding sweet. Jadi for sure pedal tu akan banyak noise sebenarnya.
- maka design akan sedikit di ubah dengan meletakan stuby capasitor pada resistor supaya abit noise akan dapat dibuang. Hasilnya Noise free tapi sweet terus tarak.
- oleh itu somtime upgrade componen kadang kala mendatangkan kebaikan dan kadang kala makin menyusahkan.
- If boleh kita faham akan setiap penambahan dari design vintage yang sebelom ne, maka ia bukan disebabkan oleh design vintage tak sedap tapi lebih disebabkan penyuasaian dengan componen pada design baru.
- even pcb or point to point wiring pun ada bezanya.
- kebanyakan IC vintage lebih noise, kurang high, tapi lebih warm.
