Falling Star Delay...$25 on Aliexpress...Bam! 🙂

[@WyldMusik]

To my ears that's the sweetest sounding modulation I've heard on a new delay pedal in a good while. Sold!

[@iamcup7356]

I love to imagine that you keep all these pedals until you have a dusty cluttered shop filled with pedals in box. And once you're elderly you just start giving them away like Olivander's wands in harry potter. "Strange that this pedal should choose you, when its less expensive clone gave you that tone circuit."

[@roryadam]

Im not in any way disagreeing with you on it being the mag echo, but Im curious how you came to the conclusion that it was? everyone is saying its a DMM, It makes more sense to me that it would be the mag echo just given the controls alone, however Ive not played the DMM or mag echo, Are you just assuming its a mag echo given the layout, kike I am?

I was looking up that falling star delay first, so that was locked in as free. I picked just other random cheap crap (head lamp, pocket knife, phone charging cord, etc).

Personally would do fuzz into pre amp into screamer into chrous into vibe into delay into reverb. The screamer was really killing the tone after the chrous and then it made it more dirt in a bad way though the reverb.

[@FretFriendLaGR]

That Falling Star is brilliant for the price!!! Might just go buy one...

[@gatkinsjr77]

That JFET one is nice!

[@charlespyle2470]

The colour knob on the absolute zero is probably a bias knob if it's actually a fuzz face style circuit with the actual silicon and germanium transistors.

[@SisterRose]

I love when you find pedals that are hard to place in the Affordaboard range - it gets tiring having the same few clones over and over even if they're very good and we would have killed 20 years ago to have them that cheap, sometimes they either purposely or accidentally mix things up. A good example with Muffs are the two I have - the Biyang Fuzz Star, "roughly" A Ram's head, and the Honey Pot, "roughly" a Green Russian, neither a copy of any commonly known circuit.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

The Cosmic Thing cranked up would be great to have on a board for when you have to generate lots of feedback.

[@pass_the_flask]

The Modulated delay looks like another Keeley Magnetic Echo clone. Same pedal as DemonFX Tape Delay. Same button/switch arrangement & sounds the same too.

[@jamesgross6466]

When you say "original Fuzz Face" are you referring to the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face.? They did not have "reverse" knobs

[@michelvilleneuve358]

@60cyclehum, That is definitely a PT2399 based delay pedal. I've designed a few of them (with and without modulation ) and when you do want that loft sound, they're great!

[@DravenxEyeless]

@@mrufino1 does you mosky do the self oscillate thing like this movall one?

[@mrufino1]

@@DravenxEyelessI’ll try tomorrow, it’s not something I’ve tried before. They’re the same pedal though so I’m going to guess that it does

[@shaft9000]

I snagged the BluesDriver clone - it's a sweetie! The delay is interesting, too - but is not really in DMM territory. The input gain stage and self-oscillation of a DMM is a filthier, wilder animal - not unlike a messier version of a solid-state Echoplex. EDIT - rumors say the Falling Star is copying a Keeley MagEcho (supposedly related to Boss DD-2 due to same ), not a DMM. I'll have to open it up to look-see when my Ali order gets in; $37 w/tax&shipping. If it's a hybrid digi-log karaoke chip derivative then it's closer to Casio SK-1 than tape-delay territory, but minimizing the "giveaways that it's digital" quite well. There's some hiss/noise it seems to be adding, making for some extra airiness or a slight vocal "ahhh" to the repeats.

[@jlrespicio]

Any updates sir?

[@jeffc914]

I think that fuzz is based on a Mosrite Fuzzrite. It seems to get pretty spitty if . Layout is similar to Catlinbread's reissue in colab with Mosrite from a couple year's back. idk about the others. Guys, that M-Vave Big Sky clone is on sale at WalMart online right now for $29. I'm trying to build a board where everything on it retails under $30. If any of these ever go on sale they all seem solid.

[@SisterRose]

From the sound of it, the Falling Star is probably a clone of the Keeley Mag Echo which has been popular lately, a PT2399 based Delay. PTs can be really good at emulating Tape delays in particular. It sounds like this one might have some additional filtering on it thus the memory man vibes. There's generally more analog filtering going on in the feedback loop too. I love that there are cheaper options now because Boutiques having a monopoly on a chip that was pretty much old tech when it was released(but still very cool).

[@daccrowell4776]

Huh! I ran across the delay on AliExpress just last night and it caught my attention then. My guess was that this was another iteration of the Magnetic Delay clones (Mosky and DemonFX), but no...there's definitely something different going on, and I'm definitely going to have to jump on one...especially since the price there is sub-$40 if you poke around for a hot minute.

I think they all sound good. These pedals do what they say, and look easy to get what you want out of them. Simple use. No directions required, like downloads etc. (Like with the TC Flashback & others. I am going to look at the USA prices on these. If they are around the 30-35.00 mark-It would be a good "Budget Friendly" board.

I ordered this from overseas today and they asked me why it was so popular and he said that many people had ordered it in the last day haha😂

It takes 1 op amp and 2 resistors , 4 more solder points, to give the Ge setting the same volume as the Si .Gain of 2 . Yet no one does it.

[@RolleHardrocki]

I think I heard a sweetspot on the Zero Fuzz at 1200 a clock but you didnt stay on it

[@TheRockAlmighty]

Bought the Absolute Zero “Fuzz” in the hope that it did have actual germanium and silicon transistors in it. Sadly not. It is all surface mount with the foot switch made by Caline on it. It has 2 what looks like Mosfets, and I can get it to sound nearly identical to my Fulltone OCD, so it’s an OCD clone with weird knobs. The Si/Ge switch corresponding to the high/low of the OCD. As an OCD clone it’s fine, but it’s NOT a fuzz.

[@DravenxEyeless]

If that delay had tap tenpo, it would be on my pedalboard, no question

[@jfiery]

It was probably pointed out but there are 6 U on the Absolute Zero. So it's off the charts sophisticated.

[@deadcatforcutie9349]

possible replacement for the delay: mosky magnetic delay

[@christophernoia5197]

The memory mam is actually a pretty bright and clean analog delay compared to many others out there. This is probably a similar circuit with different bucket brigade chips since the xvive mn3005 chip reissues are too expensive for manufacturers to use on devices at this price point. Regardless, the falling star sounds great and isnt too dark of an analog delay sound, so im wondering what they did in the circuit! If I didnt have a bunch of delay pedals id get it... Maybe I will anyways😂

I typically don’t like Tube Screamers or haven’t in the past. I have an SD1 I love ( I guess no one bothers to make a cheap clone of it because the real deal is like 45 dollars) and an OCD and I really like it, but this Tube Screamer hear sorta a poor man’s Bonsai sounded pretty great in the plus and turbo settings. When I saw the backwards controls on the fuzz I was kinda hoping one would be a Rat . The memory man clone is pretty awesome just wish it had a stereo or an effected out and dry or through. The blues driver sounded pretty good but I think it’s just got a little less gain maybe than I think of blues drivers. I just got into pedals a few years ago and really at the wrong time as used pedal prices started skyrocketing. I was always plug straight into the amp or multi fx type player, I always think I got a high gain amp and high output pickups I shouldn’t need any OD or boosts, then I finally give in and I’m rethinking my whole approach and maybe a far more versatile setup would be a vintage to medium output pickup and over drive would cover more ground than a Duncan Distortion. I love the Distortion but it’s good for hard rock and metal in parallel it can approximate a lower output HB but it kinda retains that spike and sometimes harsh ceramic magnetic high end. Totally strayed off topic but I might have to give one of those tube screamers and the memory man clone a try, hell if you only find one setting per pedal that you use and like they’re worth it. Alas now I’m going down the Temu Ali Express cheap pedal rabbit hole maybe I’ll make it back by next year.
