It was one quick email exchange with Mr. Ken Schaffer that suggested me (well, he did) a possible title to end this year and bring on the next one. Given my recent meeting with Mr. Elliott Randall (and my past as a listener to Steely Dan since I was oh 17 years old) I just Read more >

NOW I’m starting to have fun. This video is the second one of the “debunking” series with the Schaffer-Vega Diversity. As with the previous one, “Back in Black”, I intend to cover quite a few songs with the exact same equipment they used back then, or the closest approximation I have available. I used Read more >

Hello, Fil.
In the sound samples here, why is replica hissing with some short pauses at times, while the original hisses continuously?
And the other one: have you thought about closely recreating the Vega’s sound and boosting ability in some kind of an effect box without the radio transmission thing (not needed that much in many occasions) with inherent hiss issues, price issues, battery issues, etc. ?

Hi Alex,
the intermitting hissing one is the replica prototype.
Alex: our replica will NOT have the wireless transmission. It WILL be a box, close in looks and dimensions to the original SVDS, simply with input jack and output jack. Just like a standard stompbox. You will be able to turn it on (effect on) or off (through) just like with any clean boost, overdrive, chorus etc.

BTW the hiss thing is mainly due to the compressor. We are using the SAME compressor as the original one here.
We are currently studying identical sounding alternatives that will reduce hiss.

OK, now I get it. Thanks a lot.

… but not quite )
So, there is no radio transmission happening in the replica, right?

Imagine if you could get your hands on the exakt model of that suit and parachute as the person is using on the picture and your collection of Vega items is complete lol

I don’t think most people will be to bothered with a hiss if the replica sounds so great
I mean i think many who have read about the whole boost thing about Angus have tried out boost pedals and/or owns one or several and if i’am not mistaken most boost pedals has some sort of hiss to them, i got used to mine but i don’t know if anyone else is bothered about their pedals hissing.

Sorry, getting lost in the close to 300 comments in this thread.
Fil, what’s the next steps regarding the unit? How do I get into
the loop? Cheers Jonas
about 2 months ago
Hello Jonas, next steps are:
-Fil making a demo video
-Eventually final audio adjustments on the replica (making it less hissy, even though the original SVDS is hissy too, maybe via internal on/off switchable noisegate)
-Opening a preorder list
-starting production ru
Alright?
