BUT when testing it seemed to more be high end that is effected not so much mids . i did not have a 1.8k resistor , so i subbed in a 2 k , would i be better off subbing in a 1.5k there ? what gives ? i mean it really seems to be more of a treble boost atm . i know resonant filters there is a relation ship with R/c to freq , but i do not know more than that and with no schemo i was hoping a comment would help me avoid removing / playing around , but . . . either way thanks and yeah this is a cool circuit . <br />petey twofingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740368817236312111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-2879827541657192632015-06-25T10:39:23.626+01:002015-06-25T10:39:23.626+01:00Hi, i just tried this pedal build and i have a que...Hi, i just tried this pedal build and i have a question : do you have to connect the ground of the battery to the input and output jacks?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />MatthieuMatthieuShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971378062950442901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-32811395264124146482014-09-27T16:32:06.246+01:002014-09-27T16:32:06.246+01:00Thank you for replay.

The TL072 is a low noise version of the TL082 and the TL062 is the low power consumption model which will have some drawbacks associated with using less power, so your results probably make sense in the respect. The NE5532 is my favourite opamp out of the ones we commonly use, everything I've tried it in sounded better to me, so I had to buy 50 from Tayda to keep me going for a while.IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-45570895002657096312012-09-30T00:51:13.442+01:002012-09-30T00:51:13.442+01:00sooo, iv'e tried a few now and as you said mir...sooo, iv'e tried a few now and as you said miro the difference is very very subtle. though i find that the tl072 and ne5532 sound "cleaner" and more open to me then the rest i tried which was tl082, tl062, ad712. wonderful circuit, although i belive that some of the highs get lost when turning up the boost. any ideas what to put before or after this one to make it a solid addition to any other booster/eq circuit?rudeezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573224752132646358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-54691588335928579912012-09-30T00:24:48.107+01:002012-09-30T00:24:48.107+01:00With those, i would prolly go with NE5532 instead ...With those, i would prolly go with NE5532 instead of 4558.
