This is a library of perfboard and single-sided PCB effect layouts for guitar and bass. I'm not an electrical engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just a DIY'er who likes drawing layouts. It is meant for the hobbyist (so commercial use of any of these layout is not allowed without permission) and as a way to give back to the online DIY community.
Here's quick on for your Friday. The Luxury Drive is a simple JFET boost circuit and is the same as the boost section of T Jauernig's Gristle King. J201s should also work just fine.
I built this and it has an awful lot of breakup. I repaired my buddy's Luxury Drive and I don't recall it being so dirty. Mine almost sounds a bit like a voltage starve. Any thoughts?
Where should i wire OUT?

Deleteit is verified, but is just too weak of a booster. pot on max is near unity.

ReplyDeleteSounds like it's not biasing right. Adjust the 10k resistor going to the drain of the JFET.
