Fantastic videos! Keep up the hard work and you will get to 1K subs and beyond. I can appreciate how much effort goes into making these videos. I'm going to watch for your next videos. Will it be digital delay, or will you stay analog and go for a "Univibe > Phaser episode" stay tuned and find out!

Great series!

If you decide to keep going, doing a video about using ganged filters to create the phase effect would be quite nice.

This is such a cool channel!

Can you post the schematic you have on your breadboard? Im thinking of building a small pre delay box, just a box that delays the signal ones, so no dry signal gets through

Great channel!!

So much work went into this video and a speaker was sacrificed. This video deserves a much higher ranking in the algorithm.

Very cool series, please keep it up!

illustrations of "ideal" waveforms are nothing like the waveform one will see on a scope trace. noone ever mentions forward or reverse recovery times, and how that affects the actual "knee" of the clipped waveform. its the "knee" that produces the harmonic (disharmonic?) content, as it gets closer to a square wave... if you run through several diodes and check the curve as it clips versus the curve as it "unclips"... theyre different. this is utterly different to the simple "symmetrical versus asymmetrical" clipping of diodes in anti-parallel... assymetrical clipping automatically gives even order harmonics, symmetrical gives odd order harmonics, and the knee determines the number of overtones present overall...

Love this series!

That intro with the pencil poke…👨‍🍳🤌

Killer videos!! dude, where have you been all my life?! Also, I'm getting into breadboarding and your explanation of circuits is finally something I can begin to understand! Thank you, thank you, thank you. More on circuits and components in the future?..

Dude this content is so good, very informative and useful videos! Please continue making content

Great info, thanks.

I actually think I prefer one transistor fuzz with a blue led on the output for a smoother fuzzzz❤

Amazing work dude! (Also, damn now i know how chorus works i cant unhear it 😂)

Wow, very nice video. Subbed.

I just quickly want to thank you for how wonderful all your videos are. They're focussing very well on only the most important aspects to understand the concept, and to make it work yourself. Combined with some good sounding musical examples, these are a joy to watch, and a great help at implementing these circuits myself. Thank you!

These videos are awesome! You deserve more subs.

Y el esquemático...?????? Donde esta...????

Finally some good recommendations from you tube. I love it

this series is amazing. do not stop!

Yeah, I'm subscribing to this.. this sounds like a tape echo.. brilliant!

Wow You made a really great job. The structure of the scenes are excellent, it captivates your attention. Thanks for it!

This only has 200 views??? This is so well done!

Amazing content, keep going!

I feel like it could be interesting to hear what a delay circuit sounds like with and without each of these supporting circuits. Well, maybe once. Or how the delay signal is effected by fewer capacitory stages but with longer and longer clock cycles to maintain the delay time. Thanks for this, very cool!

Wow! So glad I found this channel. I want to try a delay line were another BBD with the same settings provides an enveloped followed control to do...different stuff

O h, w o w ! ❤ Good job!

My guy keep this up, because it's awesome. Well done

whoa I was just watching this for fun and I go to mtsu whaaaa that’s crazy these videos are amazingly incredibly fire 🔥🔥🔥

Yo homie this is awesome. Keep ‘em coming please

Thanks

I published a lengthy article in Premier Guitar, in 2017, that discusses the properties of BBDs, their optimization, and their applications. You might find it a useful complement to this video. Look for it as "Behind the Bucket Brigade". Thanks.

In synthesizers, another common type of distortion is wavefolding, where the signal peaks “reflect” off the limit values. But I haven’t heard of any guitar pedals that do this. Any idea why? (Or do they exist but I just don’t know about them?)

Love this series! I’ve read the Stones wanted a horn section to play the “Satisfaction” riff, but Keith decided guitar alone would work when he heard the fuzz pedal. I suppose fuzz is good at horn sounds because those instruments naturally produce square(ish) waveforms.

Little correction. BBD is analog circuit, so there is no quantization.

Excellent work.

Awesome!

Зря не рассказал про насыщения в лампа, про обратные связи между катодом и сеткой. И про всё остальное интересное

I adopt a different approach to "hard"-vs-"soft" clipping. Consider an op-amp based distortion of any design, powered by 9V. The maximum voltage swing of the op-amp will be around +/-3500mv (i.e., a 9V possible range, minus 1V at each end). What is the amplitude of a typical guitar signal? It's obviously going to vary with the pickup and playing style, but in a great many cases it will be around roughly +/-100mv. How many times can +/-100mv "fit" into a +/-3500mv space? About 35x. What is the typical gain applied in an op-amp based distortion? Amplification MUCH greater than that is common. The Rat is a bit of an exception, with amplification in the thousands, but something like the MXR Distortion+ has a maximum gain of 213x. Easy to see that increasing the Gain control to only a fraction of its entire range will produce signal amplification that exceeds the chip's headroom. Even without the diodes in that circuit, the resulting sound will rarely be clean, unless the gain is set to minimum and one strums in a restrained way. In effect, what we call "hard" clipping is really *double* clipping. That is, the signal is clipped once, within the op-amp itself, and the output of the op-amp is then clipped *again* by the diodes. The fundamental rule of clipping circuits is that the quality of clipping, and spectral content produced, is *always* a product of the spectral content of the signal input. So if you feed a clipping circuit with a preclipped signal, it *will* sound different. I suppose one *could* theoretically power the op-amp with a higher supply voltage, like 18V, that would allow for that +/-100mv input signal to be amplified more before hitting the maximum voltage swing (headroom) of the chip, and use diodes with a lower forward voltage (like Schottky type with a forward voltage that is often in the sub 200mv range). In such a hypothetical case, the result would be somewhere VERY close to what we call "soft" clipping, because the op-amp output is still clean, and those diodes are the only thing doing the clipping. What about "soft" clipping? Diodes in the feedback loop of an op-amp, will conduct the negative feedback of its output when the signal reaches the forward voltage of those diodes. So, assuming use of a pair of plain vanilla silicon diodes, like a Tube Screamer circuit, once the input signal is amplified to be somewhere around +/-660mv, there is no further amplification, because those diodes start to conduct the negative feedback of the op-amp. And +/-660mv is still a long way from the headroom limitations of the op-amp. In short, "soft" clipping is really clipping that happens *once* in the feedback of the chip, instead of twice, within the chip and at the output, which is why it can sound different. Again, one could theoretically arrange for circumstances in which the power supply and diodes could conceivably still result in the signal bashing up against the headroom limits of the chip. For example, use a quartet (2+2) of red LEDs as the clipping diodes. These generally have a forward voltage in the range of 1500-1700mv, and sometimes more, depending on batch. But they would only clip when the signal is amplified to be > +/- 3000-3400mv. Drop the supply voltage from 9V down to 8V, and the clean headroom of the chip is now around +/-3000mv. Chances are very good the op-amp will clip before the LEDs do. Hope this makes sense.

Enjoyed this series, cool stuff!

Love this content. Please do more.

Just watched the whole series so far! Love it! Subscribed! Keep it up, dude!

Banger series, can't wait for more!
