Devi Ever Improbability Drive
The Improbability Drive is a knob-tweaker's dream–equal parts, overdrive, fuzz, and science experiement, and gets its name from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This one was a bit of a challenge (I even had to use a jumper. Gah!). B3ar over on FSB requested a layout with onboard pots and switches. Couldn't get the switches to fit, but they're only SPSTs so wiring those shouldn't be too much of a hardship. Onboard pots are mounted from the solder-side using right angle PCB mount pots. Should all fit in a 1590B.
This is awesome man, enjoying your blog thorougly and inspired by your great work. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I appreciate it!
DeleteIs the diode exist also in the original one? Thanks for your work!
ReplyDeleteThe diode is there for polarity protection. It's not necessary to the sound of the circuit, but is a good thing to include in case the wrong kind of power supply (like a center positive supply instead of the the standard center negative) is plugged into the pedal.
