For the Spikering, those 2 caps coming off the right side of TLO64 (the dashed lines ones) are 102 caps - I contacted Richard about that, when I was building mine, and he confirmed they are 102 on his schematic as I couldn’t understand it fully.

I followed his mods. Note that X and Y resistors are 10K and CHAO is 220K. I made one circuit change, to lower the resistor from the Delay pot from 1M to 470K so that the pot would have an effect. All my pots are 10k. I used a TL074 instead of 64. The electrolytics are 10uf.

@bereenondo If you’re trying to use the two sections separately, i lifted the leg of the 104 cap that connects to CHAO resistor and wired a jack/switch there - it works fine and recommended. I did it on my build.

That cross symbol is high pass out. I pretty much use the bandpass output mostly.

Thanks for the help @bunkerspreckles and @mlogger!

So far I’ve been reading the Pugix site on mobile browser and the drawings weren’t visible for some reason, now that I checked it on my laptop the page makes much more sense :slight_smile:

Yeah. Middle should be off. Up and down make different variants of tone. But for me middle is not 100% off. It leaks sound.

Sorry, I feel like I’m spamming this thread with my questions (hopefully these are useful for someone else pondering these in the future), but does anyone know if there’s any alternatives to TS914 chip on Dogvoice? It’s hard to come by, at least in EU.

Edit: Wanted to add that Spikering works like it should, it sounds lovely with Rolls!

I got some TS914’s on Ebay…

Also, @mlogger, thanks for the cap clarification, (and the PCBs :grinning:) It looks like on Pugix’s drawing those caps are labeled 103, interesting to know he says 102. I wonder what diiference it makes. When I was building it i had those socketed, so I tried 101, 102, and 103 and didn’t notice much change. Subtle flavors of Spikering spice I guess

Spikering with odd and even Rolls is a perfect combo imo for a stand-alone blippoo type box. That Pugix video of it doesn’t do it any justice in what it’s capable of. Dogvoice and Rolls is also great core voice that you can build a system around. Why Peter never released the Dogvoice is baffling. It definitely complements his other stuff.

I’m looking for a sampler to use with Coco 2 and the Bastl MicroGranny looks like it might fit the bill.
But before I take the plunge, I thought I’d ask if anyone had tried this combination, and if so, how did you find the experience? Good/bad/meh?

I’m building a little inline attenuator box for some extra quantussy control. I did a quick test and it worked great.

To solder the pot to the banana jack I cut up a banana cable but was wondering if it’s as good to cut of the wires from some resistors and use those instead, or any other thin wires, the banana cables are a bit too chunky?

Hi Helen, I have the Bastl MicroGranny for 2 years now. It depends on what you’re after. If glitchy lo-fi sounds is your thing, then it’s perfect! But to be honest i was disappointed from the build quality and the instability of this machine and I’m thinking of selling it.

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it.
I’m very much into lo-fi/ambient sounds (pretty much the main reason I bought a Cocoquantus) and from the specifications on the Bastl website, the MG looks like an ideal ‘partner’.
But I’ve heard other people also comment on the build quality, and it’s an important thing to me, so maybe I need to take note of that, and look at other comparable brands.
Thank you again.

I don’t have the Coco (it’s on my wishing list for 2 years now!) but I always thought that if I’ll get it I will feed it high quality sounds in order to break them down in the delay sections.

Ever since I started using an application called Switch Audio Converter on Mac, the microgranny I have has been solid. Lots of issues using audacity to convert.

I just got a Tetrax back today after foolishly selling mine around a year ago, I can’t wait to get stuck back into using that little guy. Such a unique sound! It’ll be fun to take full advantage of the patch points in conjunction with the BugBrand frame for CV and processing. Excited!
@igormpc 's video came up just as the mailman delivered it to my studio!

Hello, this is my first post. I just (mostly) finished making an enclosure for my Din Daten Dudero. Used cap select switches and potentiometer mods that were posted here by mudlogger. Learned a ton. Make a plan. Cut wires longer than needed. Count how many holes need drilled five or six times. Be patient.

Hi. I just got a Shtar and am trying to problem solve it and am wondering if you could help. It worked literally for a minute then started making a buzzing sound and does not get any sounds from the strings. I have not tried to get any patches and was just using it in its acoustic mode I believe. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks!

just replaced a shbobo with a new order so i am lurkin here again

Hmmm. Have you tried charging it?

The three way switch is “acoustic”, both in parallel, and both via ring mod. All three require power though so if the battery is dead nothing will work really.
