Have you ever been playing your favorite pedal, or any pedal for that matter, and thought to yourself "gee, this sure would sound better with tubes"? Well with the ReValver now (almost) any pedal can have a tube! I say 'almost' as I've tried all my pedals and while they all work, not all sound great. I tore apart Matsumin's ValveCaster circuit and did a little experimenting. Essentially adding a send and return into the middle of the valve circuit, injecting whatever effect into the 12au7 and adding that "warm" tube sound to say a...fuzz or a....delay.....or a flanger...etc.

Hi there, how does the tube connect to this? U1 looks like chip. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Klexor, the 12AU7 has 9 pins. You would connect the pins in the same order than an IC and leave pin number 9 disconnected. You could use some wires to do do the job.
