I know I’m two years late and we aren’t in the pandemic anymore, but yes this is exactly the sort of content I like. I love the comparison between capacitors etc. I’d watch this all day long.
I miss quarantine 😢
@@adriatic.vineyardsreally?? No way!! ha… Now, I’ll admit that the free time/ “adult snow day” vibe was definitely cute for about two weeks. However, I personally get a sour taste in my mouth when I see these lockdown videos, andI remember how violated I felt from the obvious government overreach
Great Stuff, Brian.
As I see it, you and Josh fill different niches. Josh is The Biggest Pedal Fan in the Universe, and gets us all charged up with his enthusiasm YES, I need fifty different Screamers in the same box .
You on the other hand are the Bob Ross of electronics, "How about I put a diode here . . what kind of diode? Well . . you can't go wrong with a 4148, so how about we put a pair of happy little 4148s here for some soft clipping . .and maybe a 741 opAmp here . . .it's your pedal . . you can make it however you want..."
hahahaha! 😂
Best comment! 😅😅😅💯
I couldn't have said it better .
There is no wrong or right in here, just happy little accidents.
Put the 1k through the holes, cut off the excess and just >>ha, ha
I love the part when Brian says, “Us do-it-your-selfers.”
Like? Yes.
More? Please.
Do I want my chorus to sound like Whitesnake? Nope, I want it to sound like Alex Lifeson.
Good stuff.
Dimension C. Instant Xanadu.
Michael Cottle Yepp, the chorussy stuff on early Rush is easy enough, Dimension D or C or CE-1 plus a Mistress. „Show of Hands“-era albums are another kettle of fish. Haven‘t really found anything that can adequately mimick a TC 1210, and a „vintage“ 1210 is kinda expensive these days (1400€+ on Reverb).
Thomas Jefferson Erm, nope. Alex‘s rig on the HYF tour at least contained no less than. 6! potential sources of Chorus - GK CPL preamp (built-in), Dimension D, TC 2290, two TC 1210s, and a Yamaha SPX90, all run through mixers. Usage info conflicts between AL himself and his guitar tech at the time, so it‘s difficult to tell for sure now,
In any case, one unit for Chorus/Flanging isn‘t enough to cop his sound. My guess is that he used either the Dim D or one of the TC 1210 in spatial expand / doubler mode as the „baseline“ chorus, and added a 1210 set to a „chorussy flange“ for solos/lead parts, where the modulation thickens noticeably. The Dim D alone doesn‘t do the trick, and neither does a single 1210.
...l‘ve tried...
@Thomas Jefferson Mate, chill, all the albums you name aren't SOH, and yes, a single Dim D is definitely NOT enough for neither AL's live nor studio sound modulation sounds. And yes, there is conficting info from AL himself and his back-then guitar tech from various 80s GW, GFTPM, GP and NME magazine articles on what he used on which track and to which effect.
If it were as simple as "just get a Dimenson C or D", his SOH-era tone wouldn't be anywhere near as difficult to reproduce _closely_ as it is.

Just bought a breadboard to learn more about pedal and amp circuits as a hobby. Definitely interested in this stuff, Brian. Thanks!
What Branda will your pedals be?
Lol good one.
Or “what branda pedals are your fav?!” Lol

No joke this was one of my favorites. Can I put in a request to do the same with the Rat? It’s the Year of the Rat and I’m building a few... Thanks Brian!
Matthew Lees yes!! Bring on the RAT.
Yep, works for me too. A good example of the various distortion families, but also a walk through some other classic pedals like, say, a Phase 90, compressor, octaver, ring modulator, or an analogue delay...
Fuck yeah! Would love to see a video like this of the Rat
Damn yeah, I was just gonna post that myself! The Rat would be great fun, swapping op-amps & transistors and all the tone mods & stuff!
This video is fantastic. Id would watch more of this all day.
PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS, BRIAN!!??!?!? Me enjoys dem!
Yes please more of this kind of videos for the musician geeks
Thank you for making tutorials/videos like this Brian. I've always struggled with understanding how electronics work.
LOVE when you do these educational/testing videos on pedals and schematics. Could watch all day!
Yes, please, more nerd videos. I also like it when Brian says "DIY'ers like us". Makes me feel cool.
As an owner of a Zen Drive - I really thought it was very interesting. Love your videos
Hell yeah. Finally a Quality quarantine video
I would love to see something about phase shifters and the difference between the number of stages.
Great idea.
I would love to see as many of these demonstrations as you’re willing to post. Many thanks
This might be my favorite video you've ever made. It would be cool if could further explain why these things work like they do.
Something along the lines of "If you put a resistor and a capacitor in series in this order, you have a low pass filter, and the capacitor sets the cutoff frequency,... now if you put them in that order, you have a high pass filter..."
I don't know what I'm talking about but I sure would like to know.
@k halliday I didn't know about it. Thanks for this wonderful tip !
more of this please! Love this content.
Few if anyone else does this kind of electronics stuff and I *loved* this one! Thanks Brian! If I may add my favourites to the list, that would be the Blues Driver and the Big Muff. Cheers.
I’m just starting to tool around with pedal building, and without an electric engineering background, I can’t tell you how helpful these videos are. I love all your “techy” videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My favourite part of the day, when mr.Wampler puts out a new video. Would really love to see more of this. Your Enthusiasm for pedalbuilding makes me all juiced up to try and build something. Greetings from Norway :)
Absolutely love this content! Hope we get some more of this! Thank you!!
Yes yes yes yes yes. This is what I have been waiting for! Please do more!
I have been craving this kind of video for a long time. Thank you, Brian!
Thanks for the letting me see and hear the differences of symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping. I have been obsessing over that since the shutdown began. Now, that I know, I must have asymmetrical clipping in everything!
Yesss. This is the content I have been seeking. Thank you for this video. 🙏
This is awesome! Please keep them coming.
This was great Brian. The concepts are applicable to more than just pedals. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Absolutely, I love this kind of thing. Thanks again for providing your knowledge and time to us!
I love this format!
Love this stuff. Please keep it coming. I appreciate all your content!
Please do more like these! love this format!
The video I’ve been waiting for!! Very cool, thank you kind sir!
This was amazing. Please do much more of this!
This video ruled! Thanks for this and I'd love to see more.
Fantastic video. Thanks for doing these Brian!
Love this type of stuff, keep up the great work!!
This is so useful and insightful. Love this stuff! Thanks!
Loved this episode Brian and would really enjoy seeing more along this line, especially when it comes to fuzz. Thank you for the awesome content!
This is awesome! Please do more of them!
More of this please, it was very interesting!
Man, couldnt be more excited about this video. As a fellow DIYer, i love these videos and would love to see one on all the popular circuits. These type of videos teach me so much! Thanks for making them
Yes, would love more stuff like this! Great video
Yes. Definitely do more of these. I love the nerdy info.
Keep it up. Glad you're doing these! Thanks!
This is a very great resource for understanding pedal circuits! Please do more. BTW, Love that guitar color/pickguard combo!
Good stuff! I love that you are doing this type of vids, jump-starting new DIYers. It's extremely satisfying to breathe new life into not-quite-satisfying pedals bought as a novice player back when. I just finished my 5th one of those today.
Always waiting for this kinda video, please make this stuff more and more.
Yes! These are the kinds of videos we want. Thanks so much.
Love it Brian. Thanks for the content as always. I have been really liking the last few circuit based videos. It properly brings the concepts to life and is inspiring me to dig out my old electronics gear and have a go. Stay safe
Great video, Brian! Yes, please do more of these!
These are the best. Helps to really understand how the parts interact with the signal. Thanks
Loving these drive videos. Thanks for de-mystifying things for many of us. Drives can be the rabbit hole of pedals and can feel like we are chasing our tails most of the times.
This is amazing! Thank you! Would love more of these!
+1 love this kind of video. Thanks for continuing to provide great tools for the DIY people!
I love this sort of thing, so much, I am just starting to design some pedals and this video along with the one you did on opamps is what I’m here for. Thank you for your content.
Love these kinds of videos!
love this concept, im thinking of getting into pedal circuitry myself and you've been a great help. Thank you Brian!!
Like it. Love it. Need more! This kind of information is exactly what a fair amount of us are looking for.
Love this. I’m getting into this stuff myself. It’s so intriguing to see what happens internally. I hope to see more of this in the future!
please please make more of this content!! you are fantastic at explaining!
I love this kind of video. You really have great insight on how pedals work, and what all the different components actually do. You got some great tones out of your breadboard circuit. Thanks
This is great ... love these types of videos.
Love this content. For the limited amount of quality content about guitar pedal circuit analysis and diy guitar/audio gear, your content is the most enjoyable and easiest to digest. Hope to see more like this in the near future. Thanks
It’s great to have a few clips like this one!
Loved it and I'm definitely looking forward to watching more content like this. I wish to see also what's your personal opinion on what's worth changing on a given circuit or not, like if you were to change something on a circuit what would be your first, second and third primary places to look at and why. This type of content is being a grate complement to your "how to modify your 'bd2/ds1' pedal" book. Keep it up.
Great video Brian, of course we want to see more. Thanks,and stay safe!
I would LOVE to see more videos like this!
Really grateful for you taking the time to do this. I need to get a breadboard!
Brian, thanks so much for making these kinds of videos. As somebody getting into DIY pedal building they're really helpful for learning how these circuits work.
That's a master class! Thanks Brian!
Hey Brian, quarantine has awoken my inner DIY electrician, and this kinda content is super helpful! I'm definitely looking forward to more!
I like this format keep them coming thanks
Hi Brian,
This is exactly the type of video I asked you to do.
I love it! Thanks
Loved it! PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! I’d love your channel to go more in depth into pedal building.
I enjoy hearing this. I don’t really have a desire to diy myself but I like the knowledge.
This kind of "how it works" Videos is great!
Thanks for making it.
That was great, really helpful and interesting. Thanks Brian.
This is amazing stuff, and incredibly useful/helpful. Thank you!!
I love videos like this one, thanks for the content.

Yeah Brain, more of this please!! Great to see you are doing well... Stay safe!
Very cool, Brian! I'd love to see more videos, like this.
Yep, this is exactly the sort of article I subscribed for. I'll savour this slowly on my laptop this evening.
Thanks, and stay safe.
I love this - DO MORE. Great idea!
Awesome video! Definitely woke my curiosity on building my own personalized effect.
Thanks
Masterful, now I understand the Zendrive concept well. Thanks a lot
Loved the video, Brian! Always great content! Keep it coming!
Awesome, love to hear an in-depth analysis from a pro. I was just messing with this very circuit to make it better for bass, thanks!
Thanks! Definitely do more of these!
Great video, would love to see more, and with all types of effects.
This is extremely helpful - thank you!
LOVE this, would really like to see more dissections of other circuits and how the different components work together to create the final sound.
I love these types of videos! Keep 'em coming. Greetings from Michigan!
I've never modded a single one of my pedals, but this kind of content is still just so interesting to me. Love the info, the presentation, the general feeling of "yeah, I should do more of that myself" that I'm coming away with. Good stuff.
TH-cam puts videos like this as the top of my feed, because I watch mostly this type of videos.
Thanks for showing the science/trial-and-error behind the magic. It kinda blows my mind.
