The Crowther Prunes & Custard is a unique distortion box good for both guitar and bass. It's a two-stage circuit, built around a TL072 dual-opamp. The first stage acts as a preamp, and the second stage generates the distortion, with harmonic overtones. I've laid this out for on board pots (long leg PCB-mount pots will probably work best mounted from the component side) and it should fit nicely in a 1590B enclosure. The 2 switches are SPST.

ReplyDeleteOooh! I have one of the very first P&C pedals ever made. What a cool, strange, truly unique effect. I'll have to give this one a go.
ReplyDeletethanks for laying this out! any idea how the pedal does the filter-sweeping?
ReplyDeleteI have tried print image to make a PCB. the the prints is quite blury. I believe this because the image is low resolution ( 72dpi).
ReplyDeleteDoes any one have a higher res image?
Did you use the transfer pdf in the Transfer Image Library?
DeleteWhat's everyone's thoughts on using 1N34As for the Diode section? Just curious =)
ReplyDeleteSocket and see how it sounds. I'd think the clipping would be a little softer. Diodes are always fun to experiment with.
ReplyDeleteYou can call it as verified. Work perfectly, like the original..! amazing pedal..!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for verifying!
DeletePCB transfer image needs to be mirrored.
ReplyDeleteGreat pedal... geat layout... thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhere i live it is difficult to find C and A pots... Can i use B pots as Drive and level? Thanks!
