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.
Today's layout is the Model G from Bjorn. It's a variation of the Honey Bee and aims to replicate the sounds of some classic Gibson amps from the 50s and 60s. Board mounted pots and should be an easy fit in a 1590B. Schematic over on FSB.
Sure you can try it. Who knows how it will sound! You can try any op amp. Let your ears tell you. One thing I’ve noticed about bjf designs is, he is very specific about parts. He chooses very carefully to get a specific sound.
can you do the boss fz-2 fuzz for fuzz friday? here is a schematic, http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/diy/Schematics/Fuzz%20and%20Fuzzy%20Noisemakers/BOSS%20FZ-2.jpg
Can you use 741 or similar?

or maybe an fz-3? http://www.dirk-hendrik.com/temp/boss_fz3.pdf
ReplyDeleteIf I just got A oR B pot here, pls advice which one is good for substitute of W pot as mentioned in the design....thx
ReplyDeleteA B20k will work.
DeleteThanks a lot
DeleteWhat is the purpose of two LEDs, except for the indication?
ReplyDeleteThose are being used as clipping diodes, not on/off indication.
DeleteRoger. Thank you!
DeleteVerified. Thank you for sharing the layout. I like this very much.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks for verifying!
Delete@Effects Layouts, I noticed that bearfoot uses CA3130. What do you think would be a good replacement?
ReplyDeleteNE5534 would work. Other single opamps would probably work as well, just socket the chip.
DeleteThe only single opamp I have is TL071, is that okay?
DeleteIt will probably be fine. Use a socket and probably remove the 100p cap between pins 1 and 8. Won't be necessary with an 071.
DeleteThere is an error in footprints. The footprint under 150k resistor should not be connected.
