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.
The RTO (or Robin Trower Overdrive) from Fulltone is a modified Tube Screamer circuit. The input buffer is removed and the soft clipping stage has an interesting mix of diodes.
Outstanding work!!! Question that I wanted to ask but keep forgetting to until I see your layouts. I get the green (ground) and red (+V). What are you defining as the orange trace? Just curious
Get out of my head!!! Actually stay in there. I just find it funny that for the past couple layouts you created are schematics or pedals I have been analyzing and trying to understand. Keep up with this great blog.

ReplyDeletea voltage reference or in most schematic called VB
DeleteCorrect. The orange is the Vref (VB, VR, etc) and pink is for the LED
DeleteI apologize if this is mentioned somewhere in help files on the site.
DeleteIn any event, nice job!
