DUMBLELATOR - who has build one?

[Motörbööt]

Hallo,


does anyone have experiences by building one?

Are there any complete schematics, I only found the one on schematic heaven but there is no power supply...so what about voltages.

Do you have any pictures from DIY D-LATORS?

Hope my english is not too bad

Bob I has helped me out with this. Look at my recent post about sourcing parts. Bob explained how he powered his Dumbleator and I am going to follow his lead.

Heya Mötörböt!

Before spending time building a Dumbleator clone, check out the Flexloop by fellow german builder Ulrich Rodenberg:

Aloah Dominik,

But thank u anyway for your post.

Holy shit! Got enough channels?
I think at that point the guy should make it programable, that is just toooo much!

did you see this:

Sort of like an amp where you can change all parts (caps, resistors), circuit on the fly.

I need to visit Ulrich to check that monster out. This can really help you find and tailor your sound.

@Mötörböt:

I will take some pics of my homebrew Dumbleator tomorrow.

Hi again,

...are there any inside pix of a original Dumblelator available?

Hi Mötööörbööööt,

here are some pics of my homebrew.

The goal was to build one with parts I already had (enclosure) and as cheap as possible. That is why I used the two flatpack transformers.

The heaters are DC and regulated for 6V DC. No hum whatsoever.

Filtering for the B+ is rather large with three filter caps in series. You can probably get away with less filtering, but I had a Fender Brownface tremolo (phase shifting style) in there before, thus the three nodes.

Holla Dominik,

thööööönk u for the pix.

I'll take some parts from a dead HK cream machine for the PSU.

Do you have some idea to give the dumblelator a parallel loop where I can fade between the wet and the dry signal?

there's a thread i started, search for tut best fx loop, and parallel fxs, by swt. dogears and other nice guys helped me and there's a useful mix of a dumbleator and the tut series/parallel fxs loop. if you don't find it, i can send you the schem.

Hi swt,

thanks for your info and I found the thread. But it is hard for me to follow the discussion, my english isn't good enough.

There is a file on Blue Guitar called "tut_loop.gif [25k] Tube buffered FX loop from King TUT" but is is removed.

If you have a schem of your final and working version and want to send it to me... M =

Hi,

so far I have all the parts and information to start building the thing.

Thanks to ElectronAvalanche, swt, and tonejunkie for support and information.

Hi,

this will be the psu for the Dumblelator, the part for high voltage is not jet done, voltage for heaters works fine.
