Been a while since I did a reverb layout and this DeadAstronaut design does not disappoint. It's not a true-bypass effect, but uses some JFET switching so that tails are present when you turn the effect off. Coda Effects actually has a really good write up on the design. Ended up doing this one in Eagle and was able to squeeze it into a 125B. If you want a fabricated board, you can order some off OshPark.
Here's the build doc with the BOM, schematic, and drill template.
What do you need to confirm? ))) I made a circuit, everything works, I just changed the values of C8 and C9 put 22nF both, (trying to move the oscillation to the high-frequency region area). Due to this, we had to reduce the values of R11 and R12 to 33k and 68k.
I have the ability to speed up the build process. Since, I am engaged in repair and modification of guitar effects and amplifiers. I have the equipment, details and experience. )). The reason for rapid assembly and debugging. I want to say that you are very logical and repeatable PCB`s. You make a very interesting and useful site, with a wonderful set of schemes and recipes.
One more, working ok !! It took me a little longer because I had to wait for the BTDR-2H-L, which is difficult to find. I had some problems on the way, at first there was no sound, then I noticed that the accutronic mounted on top of the components, as it seemed that it was in the drawing, was with the pins all inverted, or put it on the side of the solder, which It forced him to weld it, and I did not want to know if the circuit was going to work, so I ended up putting it in the socket on the side of the components but turned upwards. I started to have reverb but the general sound was very low and with noise, I tried to change the ICs for a JRC4558 and improved a lot more gain and less noise, I still tested with some OPA2134, eliminated almost all the background noise but the overall volume Went down a bit, and I ended up going back to the JCR, which gives it a more analogical touch. Even though the gain seemed a little too low, I had already changed the 2n5457 from two different lots without major changes, it was the turn to test ones in SMD MMBF5457 and some mini pcb's adapters that I got in aliexpress, and the problem was sorted out. The values of the others I was using had values between I = 0.80 / 0.90mA and VGS = 500 / 600mW these SMDs have I = 1.2mA VGS = 850mW. Now I just have to think, in a cool drawing for the box. Thanks, and Good Pedals !!
thank you very much for your rely, I did check the thread and other related ones, the probleme was the 2N7000 that did not ground the reverb portion correctley when bypassed causing signal leakage. fixed after socketing all trannies (and sacrificing the board :*D )
Hi, I got the same problem but I can't fix it just by changing the 2n7000 (I even put a bs170), does anyone else know how to deal with the problem? thanks
I built the pcb from deadastronaut, from his website. It is really nice and a breeze to put together. This is a replay nice verb! Anyways, thnx for the work:)))
Thanks A LOT for the work you're doing!! It's incredible. Would love if you could do the pcb of the abductor II delay, there's a vero design but it is a complicated build!! The Sagan delay looks amazing also!
Hi..noob here again . I noticed that the switch on your design is different from robs (dead astronaut)? did you design it a little different on that part? he only has fs1 and fs2 ground and 9v. thanks

ReplyDeleteDid you bread board this or did you build it on this board?
DeleteI apologize for my English))) I'm building it on this board. Slightly changing the nominal values.

DeleteEverything works great
You're English is fine. When someone verifies something so fast I'm always a little blown away. haha Thanks for verifying!

Is it normal that level and mix pots react in bypass mode??! I got a big hiss in bypass mode when level pot is maxed. And even when effect is on !
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't. Check for shorts and the like. Also check out the thread on this circuit over on DIYSB:

DeleteDo you have to buy 3 boards from oshpark? Only need one really..
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the minimum order with them. Most places it's 5.
