Here's another one from Marshall's great pedal line from the early 90s. When it was released it was considered a high gain distortion, though probably wouldn't be categorized as such today. It was made famous by Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead and covers more than just shredder territory.
I made the PCB version of this one. I had to reverse legs 1 & 3 on the Level pot to get it to go ccw-quieter/cw louder. My build is hella noisy, too... But I'm thinking once it's in the enclosure with some shielded wiring it should be good.
Thanks for the drill layout on this one, too! Saves me a lot of time and screw-ups. I'm terrible at Photoshop! ;)
That's probably a typo on my part. Those 2 resistors form the voltage divider, so as long as you use 2 resistors of the same value it will be fine. What's most commonly used is anything between 10k and 100k.
Yes, there is an error in layout - look here - correct schematic. Cut trace right after treble 2 pin (wiper) and solder it to pin 5 of TL072. Cut pin 5 of this TL072 from bias grid. Solder a wire from bias grid to the point where you cut trace after treble pot wiper. Voila - treble is usable. http://www.matsumin.net/diy/jisaku1/shred_m_mini/shred_Schematic_phnompenh.gif

http://www.klimaco.net/MUSIC_RND_PIX/a_msm.gif <- wrong schematic, look carefully just after treble pot.
But also in the the original the r10 3k3 should go to ground but in this layout it id going to vref. It makes a difference if you test and compare on breadboard.
Hello, just to be sure i edited original layout with your instructions, did you mean it like this? My edit of original layout -> https://ibb.co/X2Mgvt3 Thanks for answer!
Yes, it is extactly according to correct schematic. I've talked to friends of mine that builds pedal clones for living and that is 100% same as original.
works, verified
ReplyDeletelots of noise, i think i must use shielded cable
this is sample demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjgR1zy-i8

Hi! I made this pedal and works fine, but here is my question: how can I increase more gain?
ReplyDeleteyou could try using 3mm red leds
Deleteits not working
ReplyDeletecan anyone help me plz ( of course if anything in this website really works ! :) )
Most of this layouts works
DeleteThis circuit sounds incredible! Perfect control over eq, break up seems to be pretty much perfect (not too much and not too little). Great design!
ReplyDeleteI could'nt get 41k resisotrs .. is it ok to use 39k instead?

DeleteThanks a lot for your explanation ..
Deleteis there a way to increase the treble here?

Yes you are correct Thank You

ReplyDeleteThanks for answer!
I've done it with my one and it works perfectly. It's quick job - try it and hear it by Yourself ;)
DeleteYes, it is extactly according to correct schematic. I've talked to friends of mine that builds pedal clones for living and that is 100% same as original.
DeleteAmazing! I'm going to build this one, so your comment was really helpful, thank you :)
DeleteThanks bro, my pedal is so rich treble. does anyone know the mod to add pot middle? maybe if ad would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteDid you solve this problem ? Usually this pedal is too dark and some people change )at least) the c3 in cap to 100p, or 300 p etc... for more treble
