Re: CYSTECH FILTER DRIVE
Yea, I actually was looking at our old email thread because I couldn't remember if I actually sent that board.
But yes added the toggles and rotary control. Did you ever build that one? If I do anymore I think I'm going to put the rotary on it's own board or find some pots with longer pins.

Thanks, man. I really love his demos. Sounds so much better when he's playing it!

You might try a different rotary as well. Not sure which you use, but I think the metal ones I have are thinner than the plastic type.

Re: CYSTECH FILTER DRIVE
Using the bigger plastic Alpha ones from Small Bear. I like the tabbed washer that let's you set how many steps and the metal ones don't have those. But I also like the feel of the metal ones best, seem more rugged so will look into those as if there is artwork the tab to set the steps is a little redundant so maybe it's a psychological thing. There's also those smaller plastic ones that are about half the size but haven't found with a smooth shaft.Jero wrote: I haven't had a chance yet, no. Need to get on it after that demo!![]()

Re: CYSTECH FILTER DRIVE
I hate demos. Fairly uniformly. I liked MLCs demos and I sometimes like Jared's demos.
But damn... that was a great demo.

Yeah, I really love his demos. He did such a fantastic job going through all the settings and all inside of a song. I fucking love it.

Re: CYSTECH FILTER DRIVE
I think you will like it. I personally don't like the stock Systech Overdrive sound but for some reason I kept coming back to this circuit. There's 6 filter mode settings and the stock Systech OD is the 3rd one. My favorite settings are the Dist 2, which is kinda Rat sounding, and the 2 Cyst modes which are broken fuzz settings and are a bit different. Can't wait to get your report! Since you were early in payment, too, I going get yours out with Chanks tomorrow, too!Dandolin wrote:ikr

Re: CYSTECH FILTER DRIVE
I've just gotta shift some gear then I'll get off my zen high horse and scam one.
Then I'll flip it when it doesn't make me play like that demo
