Je tiens à m'excuser de mon absence, j'étais souffrant (atteint de surdité temporaire), comme quoi cela peut être la pire des choses pour un musicien.

Le Blog repart de plus belle dès aujourd'hui.

Bon DIY mes Amis !

Bonjour à tous les DIYers !

Suite à un grand nombre de demande, nous sommes en train de vous préparer des petits Kits pour les effets que je vous avais proposé dans la section Tuto et Théories. J'espère que ces Kits vous plairont !

Bon DIY à tous !

Le concurrent de l'Eventide Timefactor arrive sur le marché ! Voici les specs de la bête :

12 Different Delay Machines
TimeLine provides twelve studio-class, fully tweakable, and completely adjustable delay
machines.
dTape™
The dTape machine delivers the complete experience of sought-after sliding-head tape echo
machines, with every attribute relentlessly studied and faithfully recreated. Full control over
Tape Age, Wow & Flutter, Tape Crinkle, Tape Bias, Low End Contour, and Tape Speed.
dBucket™
The dBucket machine provides you with a deep and nuanced recreation of analog bucketbrigade
style delay types. Two delay time ranges are available, for single or multiple BBD
chip delay times. Utilize our exclusive Bucket Loss control, along with dedicated Filter and
Mod controls.
Digital
A crystal-clear digital delay that can be endlessly tweaked and enriched with the Filter, Grit,
Smear, High Pass, and Modulation controls. A wide range of delay tones can be achieved
with this classic “voiced” digital approach. In addition, a non-linear mode allows the repeats
to fade more quickly, while still retaining a natural feel.
Dual
Two independent delay lines can be configured in series or parallel (right/left split). The
second delay has independent Mix, Repeat and Time values, and can also be set to track the
first delay’s knob values.
Pattern
The Pattern machine gives you a variety of multi-tap patterns that span from rhythmic to
ambient to percussive and everything in between. Filter, Grit and Mod knobs deliver a wide
range of delay experiences.
Reverse
You play frontwards, it repeats backwards. Your playing triggers the delays, producing
predictable, repeatable, and extremely useful reverse effects. Add some Smear to soften the
attacks—smearing transients while retaining full frequency response.
Ice
The Ice machine slices and dices your input and plays the pieces back with a selectable
Interval shift amount—from an octave down to an octave-plus-fifth up, and anywhere in
between. You can Blend the ice amount from none to all. Selectable Slice size allows further
possibilities, changing the size of audio chunks that get shifted.
Duck
Duck — and cover. You get a ducking delay with adjustable Sensitivity and Release Time,
along with a switchable Feedback duck option. This allows for a wide variety of dynamic
delay effects.
Swell
Variable swell time allows you to match the swell with the delay time. Turn the Mix to full
wet and turn up the repeats for ethereal ambient effects. Adjust the Rise Time to set the time
constant for the swell effect. Add some Smear to soften the attacks—smearing transients
while retaining full frequency response.
Trem
The Trem delay machine provides you with a synchronized tremolo with Waveshape, Depth
and Speed for cool new sounds. Choose from triangle, square, sin, ramp, and saw to vary the
delay amplitude.
Filter
The Filter delay gives you a synchronized Filter that can be placed before or after the delay.
Waveshape, Depth, Speed, Resonance, and Filter Location are all adjustable parameters.
Choose from triangle, square, sin, ramp, saw, random, up, and down to vary the delay
amplitude. Limitless filter possibilities!
Lo-Fi
Crush some bits with the Lo-Fi delay machine. Adjust Bit Depth and Sample Rate while
blending the results with the full resolution signal. Select from several hand crafted lo-fi
Filters, spanning transistor radios, telephones, phonographic horns, and other “collectibles”.
Top it off with our exclusive dVinyl record noise, adding a scratchy record complete with
dust and dirt.

Pour les Bricoleurs(euses) qui n'ont pas froid au yeux, ce layout est pour vous ! Cet pédale connus sous le nom de Folk Driver, pourra se rajouter sans problème dans votre set ;)

Pour les résistances, vous pourrez utiliser des 1/4w film metal (moins onereuse).

Niveau : Moyen

Budget : 20- 30euros

Bon DIY !

Pour tout ceux qui possède un MesaBoogie F50, ou tout autre amplis injouable à la maison du à sa grosse puissance. Voici un petit Tweak facile et peu onéreux qui transformera votre potentiomètre de Mix (Celui de la boucle d'effet) en potentiomètre de Master Volume, idéal pour avoir de la saturation sans les plaintes des voisins ;)

Bon DIY à tous !
