Ok thanks, I saw R1 at 1M and was wondering how that wasn’t a high enough value.
I guess I typoed in my post, the cap I got was labeled 104K which is .1uf right?
I have the Quav on my pedal board now. I’ve wanted a trem pedal for while and am enjoying it very much!!!
Altho I had re-think my gain structure by moving my ‘always on’ EP Booster to 1st position running at unity. I previously had it way down the line running hot after most of my pedals. But like a lot of pedal boards I think, configurations change every so often in the quest for tone 🙂
Hi again Zach,
It was a ‘loading’ type thing!
I have one of the new Fulltone OCD v2 pedals with a buffer.
I turned on the buffer and there’s the highs!
Actually now I gotta turn down the trimpots because now I got more stuff than I want.
Maybe tell your customers to run a buffer or preamp before the Quav.
Thank You!!!
Aloha,
Kevin (Stabb)
Hi Brach,
Thank you for your timely replies!
I turned the Depth to 0 and I’ve been turning the Hi and Lo trimpots.
I can’t seem to get the sound of the pedal close to the bypassed sound.
The trimpots don’t seem to be affecting the freqs I want.
So I plugged the pedal into Logic Pro to look at an RTA and strummed my Strat (w/Lace Holy Grail passive pickups).
It looks like the pedal has a bump around 200-500hz and a big rolloff above 2.5k.
The sound is kinda like an impedance mis-match ‘loading’ situation. Could it be?
I’ll dig up a pedal with a buffer and try putting it in line before the Quaverato.
Also, I lost one of the 1uF Ceramic Capacitor (which of course made me nuts) so I got one from a local electronic store labeled 104k. Its slightly bigger in physical size but it fit no prob. The replacement is in the C16 slot next to the HPF dip switches. Could this be having to do with the freq response?
I’m ok with this pedal and intend to use it but I’d like to get the effect sound closer to the bypassed sound.
Thank You
Sorry the Google Photos bit wasn’t cooperating.
Anyway I did what my friend said.
Scraped the little bit of trace hanging offa the pcb.
Tinned a few strands of copper I got from an old ac cord.
Jumped TP42 to the hanging trace.
Checked for continuity – yes – yay!
Hi frequency trem now works.
I now have issue with over all frequency response, wil create another thread
