Wampler Sovereign

Here's another Wampler take on the JFET mu-amp design. This one adds a op amp stage at the output and features a Big Muff-style tone stack. This one's pretty versatile and a great sounding distortion. Ian sent me his perf layout of this one and I refined it a bit for what you see below, so a special thanks to him. Schematic can be found over on FSB.

    You can mark it verified! The only thing I changed was the Mids pot, I connected lugs 1 and 2 to the 33nf cap and lug 3 to ground. It should work either way though.

    I etched the pcb a while ago and just yesterday i populated the pcb. At first it does not fired up and after debugging i found our that the Gate on the Q2 is not connected on the pcb side. Now its working good.

      It's biasing Q5. Set it so you get about 4.5v on the drain and then adjust by ear if necessary.

    Verified, but it haven't that amount of distortion what i expected from yt demos. Anybody have similar impression? Q5 biased on 4.4v

      The same thing happens to me, it's like a soft overdrive

    Fantastic. Super sound. Like a good amp. I used 100k for biasing and had some problems. Use 50k for fine biasing. Adjust sound just before compressing. Good luck.

    Hi! What is the voltage measurement from ground to drain to set the trimmer resistor? Thank you

    Would there be any problem if I use electrolytic cap nonpolar to 1uF ...or mylar?
