Electro Harmonix Soul Preacher
There have been a few different iterations of the Soul Preacher. This one follows the version that isn't based around an OTA chip (much like a DynaComp), but is rather much closer to an Orange Squeezer. The original used a buffered bypass, and I've included an extra pad for the buffer out if you want to build it that way. Here's the schematic for reference.
what would i need to change to make it work ok with bass guitar?
ReplyDeleteIt may work fine as is. But if not, probably some capacitor values. You'd have to experiment.
Deletewould i need to jumper the pads for buffer if i elect not to use a buffer?
ReplyDeleteNope, just ignore them.
DeleteI bet that germanium can't be replaced, am I right?
ReplyDeleteYeah, better to just stick with some 1N34As.
Deleteis verified???
ReplyDeleteYes.. Its verified
DeleteMy build has too much clipping, what could it be?
ReplyDeleteesta es la replica del soul food ? necesito ese eecto .sonaria genial.

DeleteNo, the Soul Food is a Klon copy. This is a compressor
I'm confused about the out and buffered out how do you use these two together?
ReplyDeleteTo use the buffered out you'd use a DPDT footswitch. Wire the In pad to the input jack, the Out pad to lug 1 of the footswitch, lug 2 to the output jack, and lug 3 to the Buffered Out pad. Then use the other side of the footswitch for LED on/off indication. The input buffer of the circuit will always be in the signal path, with the compressor portion bypassed by the footswitch.
DeleteVerified!!! I did the pcb version and it works well, it looks very good with ne5532. thanks, your work with the layouts is amazing !!!
ReplyDeleteReady to build this one this week!
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeletehas anyone tried with 4148 instead of 1n34a?
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of clipping. Does anyone has that problem?
