Reminds me of EBS amps; if you use a specific guitar lead that they make, the amp can power their pedals through the output jack, pretty neat.

This is awesome. I want this. I bet you're fucked if the pedals are different polarity though (which obviously they won't do with their own pedals).Doog wrote:Reminds me of EBS amps; if you use a specific guitar lead that they make, the amp can power their pedals through the output jack, pretty neat.
Have you guys heard about the Nano Clone and Nano Muff? They can't be daisy chained powered with other pedals as they're positive ground and ground out the power supply through the TRS jack connections with the other pedals. You have to use an individual Wall Wart for them or battery power them.
WEAK

dude that sucks. I thought EHX got it right this time.

It's quite funny - they're coming off all "It's not a flaw it's a design decision!" on the HCFX forum. As far as I can remember, only the FuzzFace is +ve ground and that's so you can use PNPs...

Couldn't you just switch around the wires to the power jack inside the pedal? 
I'm not sure exactly what you mean..

No, unfortunately that makes the Nano Clone... not work. It's not supply polarity that's the problem, the problem is that positive ground is when the positive (live) terminal is connected to the chassis, it is the ground point rather than zero volts. It makes it incompatible with other pedals on the same power supply as it grounds out the power.Doog wrote:Couldn't you just switch around the wires to the power jack inside the pedal?

Pft. They can say whatever they want. It it completely possible to use neg ground with PNP transistors also, you just have to design it right. I honestly cannot fathom a true technical reason to "decide" on positive ground.Mike wrote:PenPen wrote:Mike wrote: This is awesome. I want this.

Deez nuts to that shit. I had a Fuzz Face that ran fine in a daisy chain.

It won't have been an original FF design then.theshadowofseattle wrote:Deez nuts to that shit. I had a Fuzz Face that ran fine in a daisy chain.
It's a crappy excuse.

It was a Dunlop reissue.

i guess i will do a "headbanger" Headphone Amp
dont sounds impossible i think i can do
its improve volume , Quality , bass , midles , low's
http://www.minidisc.org/headbanger.html
its good idea ???
my headphone have very clean sound , its a phillips but dont have volume
off ....
found cool method to do p.c.b's

You weren't very specific then. You said "Fuzz Faces."Mike wrote:Clearly not positive ground then.theshadowofseattle wrote:It was a Dunlop reissue.

Shad does have a point.
