The circuit is a loop. All parameters affect each other. That said, the pot controls are: level, Q, gain, sweep range, intensity. There are also switches for toggling between inductors and "quacker" circuits as well as a stand by.soundguy wrote:can you give an overview of the controls on the unit, I see 5 pots, right?
Yes, the small bottle tubes are the 12AX7 amplifier tubes.Are you using any of the small bottle tubes in cascading gain stages?

Not sure I understand the question, but:soundguy wrote:Lee, is there enough power present in the circuit to sag the power supply?
probbaly not Id guess, but curious anyhow.

I was referring to current sag in the power supply, not wether or not you have a high voltage power supply for the circuit. Its my understanding that when an amplifier demands a higher level of current than the power supply is comfortable supplying, it stresses it causing sag. I dont have enough experience and am not smart enough to come up with a proper technical analysis of this, but I do know the sound. I have only experienced this, however, from output amplifiers generally at %80 or more power sagging a supply.
It does when it's a tube rectifier. Whether you notice it or not is another story. Did you hear somehting in the sound files that you recognized as sag?Not knowing your circuit or the power supply you built for it, I was wondering wether or not there was enough power going on there to bog down the power supply. I dont necessarily think that current flux automatically results in sag from a rectifier.
Not yet. This is a one-man boutique shop. I AM interested in getting it into the hands of serious folks like you. I have a lot of confidence in it and don't think you'll be disappointed. Why don't you buy one and I'll give you 90 days from date of reciept to check it out. If you don't like it, return it in same condition for a full refund, no hassle. You can pay me through Paypal so you have all those checks on the money - and me. I've been using the same Toob-Wah since January with absolutly no problems, so I doubt you'd have to return it for any mechanical reasons,the wah looks interesting, just not quite sure of what its capable of doing. Do you have a dealer in the NYC area that has one in stock to demo?

That picture has gotten more comment than anything else on my site. It is a real snake. It's an albino burmese python and it IS 14 feet long. I found it on the sidewalk one night, in a big glass box, with a note on it that said "please adopt me".ottokbre wrote:i was totally afraid of this thing when i saw it on CL last week, but now that i visit the site and see that it's snake proof up to 14-feet, my nerves are calmed.

Yeah, it sounded like a power amp question. That's why I wasn't sure how to answer it.

But if you just don't like it after 90 days, return it. If you keep it, you'll have a totally unique, client attracting resource for your studio. I will extend this offer to anyone reading this forum. Tape Op readers are always people who care and generally prople who know. I'd really like to get their reactions to the Toob-Wah. Call me at 510 649 1813 with any questions.

If you werent jabbering about it I probably would have already locked it....soundguy wrote:this thread is definitley spam but the product seems interesting enough to kick around a bit. There have been a few attempts at tube wahs in the past but nothing quite like this. Something tells me someone with $1k to spend on a wah migth take it a little more seriously if you spelled "tube" correctly, but maybe thats just me...

A guy back in the '70's made a wah that was essentially all transistor with a tube stuck somewhere in the middle. He actually refuses to post sound files. But he DID trademark the name "Tube-Wah" He has already threatened me with w lawsuit for merely having the words "tube wah" on my site.soundguy wrote:Something tells me someone with $1k to spend on a wah migth take it a little more seriously if you spelled "tube" correctly, but maybe thats just me...
