Being primarily a bass player myself, I've wanted to build this one for a while, but didn't really feel like messing with all the off board wiring of my first layout of this circuit. So I've drawn up a new layout with board mounted pots. I've also subbed a 2N5457 in place of the stock 2N5952 because it's what I have in my personal stock and I order from parts suppliers enough already (haha). If you do use a 5952, mind the pinout as it's SGD, whereas the 5457 is GSD.
I finished this, everything works normal volume, tone and drive, but the gain is extremely low, I had to connect a booster and turn to maximum, for a decent volume, there is something wrong in the circuit.
you mean 2N5952 not 1N5952?
ReplyDeleteYes. Typo on my part. haha
Deleteinput and output are reversed ? this unconventional ?
ReplyDeleteor am I wrong understand drawing?

ReplyDeleteI'd like to make this pedal. But it's not verified. Someone make it works?
ReplyDeleteBuilt and though it's not the loudest dirt pedal, it keeps up on my rig and I absolutely love it.
ReplyDeleteCool. Thanks for verifying!
