This is a library of perfboard and single-sided PCB effect layouts for guitar and bass. I'm not an electrical engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just a DIY'er who likes drawing layouts. It is meant for the hobbyist (so commercial use of any of these layout is not allowed without permission) and as a way to give back to the online DIY community.
Unique little distortion box from Bjorn. The original uses 1A1200 diodes (which are pretty big), but other (and smaller) silicon diodes can be used. Should fit nicely in a 1590B.
Or something in the 1N400x series. The diodes are just being used for hard clipping, so anything will work there. Different diodes will provide different flavor of clipping.
OK thanks :) Already figured it how this regulation works :) BTW in my case a 100k pot works better here, in full right position gives an almost-too-bright sound, while with the 50k pot the sound differences were really small.
Hey there. I tried to download the pdf file from "transfer image library" but I get a "This file can’t be previewed" message. If I directly download the file I, still, can't open it. :/
What kind of 1uF capacitor is connected to lug 3 of the volume pot? I thought it was a non-polarized electrolytic. I've made a couple of your pedals and have not seen that symbol.
HI.WHAT DIODES USED? WHAT IS 1A1200

DeleteI was waiting for so long this pedal! Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteIs the treble pot 3rd leg supposed to float in the air like that?
ReplyDeleteYes. Lug 3 isn't connected in the originals.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a non-polarized box film cap. I get them from Tayda
DeleteThanks :) I could not figure that one out.
