I like that idea. That’s when I started spending a lot of time here, enjoying it and learning about new builders.$harkToootth wrote: 3. It's not 2013-2016 pedal culture anymore.
Many of Rhys's circuits can be worked out from decent photos (and a few measurements with a DMM if you have one). Although Dino does an amazing job of cloning rare pedals so if he is up for it, I would be interested in the results! I've built four octave drones so far, but really want to try to make a Mind Warp next or one of Rhys' delays - especially ones that there aren't schematics available for.$harkToootth wrote:Yes, that's the move. I have a ton of these, so I'll see what Dino's up to. It would be cool to get a couple of the "original circuits" on the market for people.Gone Fission wrote:I was thinking before opening this thread that Seppuku pedals would be excellent targets for DeadEndFX. So yes.
1. Rhys isn't making them anymore
2. Even if he was, I'd still send them to Dino lololol. Rhys took enough of my money. "You got fat while everyone starved in the streets!"
3. It's not 2013-2016 pedal culture anymore. Even if this was cloning, I'd support it.
Posting this image cause I just heard of this book and it sounds quite interesting. Similar theme because this book "democratized color theory.

Rhys did some weird stuff, like intentionally messing with the grounding and having connections that don't go anywhere, that doesn't really translate well to modern PCB design. What a character!
Ah, just different enough to make me want to try it still lol. I appreciate the beefiness of the Corazon but chirpy sounds fun too. Thanks for the breakdown!UglyCasanova wrote:The corazon was based on my broken memory loss, and while it is an excellent unit, it does not sound and act completely the same. Idk what drod changed, but the corazon is a bit more beefy in the mid to lows and also doesn't glitch out as easily as the mem loss. Mem loss is more chirpy and filtered differently. It's pretty close though.
My impression is that the Memory Loss circuit changed, I don’t know how many times. Maybe several times. So whether a Memory Loss clone was authentic could depend on what version you were comparing it to. If I recall correctly, Rhys stopped making them because he could not get reliable and consistent builds. There was too much variation from pedal to pedal. Also, I owned a Memory Loss briefly, and it would randomly send frighteningly loud, very low frequency tones to my amp which made me seriously afraid of blowing speakers. The knobs were interactive and completely unpredictable. The version I had was IMO a total mess, and not very usable.counttherings wrote:Still rocking my Catrina FX Corazon but I do get tempted sometimes when a Memory Loss pops up. I love that pedal but never got to try the real thing. Are us Corazon owners missing out on anything other than the vibes?
