Update Feb 25, 2022: Had a few things wrong with the original layout. Apparently the old layout worked, but I'm sure didn't sound correct. Here's the schematic.

Ibanez CM5 Classic Metal Distortion
This one was a request. I removed the input/output buffers and the original switching scheme to allow for true-bypass switching. There is one jumper (the original had 6!) and a couple things that bug me, but I'm probably the only one who would care, so I won't worry about it.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the tone is not working ...
Some light?
Thanks!
Try increasing the value of the two 22nF caps to 220nF.
DeleteVerified!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I request for DOD-FX59 Thrash Master please. WWould be so apreciate, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGave it a try but overdrive pot biggest change can be heard between 9 and 10, below 9 there's very low signal. Maybe because I used 2n5089 instead of 2n5088,idk. Everything else seems to be fine, however I noticed way lower output gain than in any other pedal I made. Any hints? Distortion 1&2 legs are connected together as the scheme says. Fresh 9v bat
ReplyDelete2N5089s are fine. I went back over this layout, cuz it's 7 years old. There's a few errors I made, though you should still be getting more output. The original has a C10k pot for the distortion pot. If you don't have a C10k on hand, you could try using a larger value linear taper pot.
DeleteWow you fix stuff quickly. I'll certainly give it another try soon. Thank you!
DeleteYou can tag the February 2022 version as verified. It's like a Dist+ with an active bass control.
