The ones I have can get bright enough they hurt to look at. Plus I like to run this circuit at 15 volts. Those are the only reasons I care, otherwise, yeah, doesn't matter. I'll probably use a 10k like Ibanez does though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501784174560342444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-81197140961994015712019-03-31T23:49:28.999+01:002019-03-31T23:49:28.999+01:00Doesn’t matter.

There are some slight variations in the real one (the one I have, at least) and the layout, most are just minor move a wire here/there, but I have a couple of notable observations: <br /><br />In Ibanez's pedal, the .022uF caps are also of electrolytic type. I'm guessing they were changed here because these are more common in poly film varieties or because there is no DC across the cap, in which case using electrolytic is pointless (or even detrimental).<br /><br />Also,<br /><br />R23 on the layout (the LED resistor) is listed as 1k. I believe this needs to be more like 10k..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501784174560342444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-46669013849153294282019-03-24T17:31:02.351+00:002019-03-24T17:31:02.351+00:00now it's without switch, just sraight in and o...now it's without switch, just sraight in and outJakub czhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904476787975716577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-3657549787983941382019-03-23T13:48:43.138+00:002019-03-23T13:48:43.138+00:00Hey...

If possible in the Netherlands that would be terrific ;)<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />KoenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412365675214929953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-14728464851285325442014-09-04T07:07:55.431+01:002014-09-04T07:07:55.431+01:00Cheers Mark, sorry thats what i meant.

So if the pot isn't working you must have an issue with the gain section somewhere around the opamp. The layout shows transistors with a BCE pinout but the 2N3904 has a CBE order. Did you twist the legs to accommodate change in pin order? If you have connected the wrong pins on the buffers that would stop the pedal working even though it is unrelated to gain.IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-55587386105683628342014-08-10T18:26:35.454+01:002014-08-10T18:26:35.454+01:00Hi I've tried this with the 2n3904 transistors...Hi I've tried this with the 2n3904 transistors.

P...I built this on perfboard, and it sounds great. Problem is I can only hook up a 9 volt battery to it. I soldered up a dc jack, but I just put the hot wire straight through my true bypass switch and to the hot rail that all the 9 volt nodes are connected to. I tried to plug in a 12 volt dc wallwart (that's all I had on hand) and it was powered, but it made a high pitched noise, so I unplugged it to prevent damage. Is there a diode or a filter cap I need to put in to get rid of that high pitched whistle, or do you think the power supply was just to big? I tested it on my multimeter, and although it is rated 12 volts it was putting out 14. I didn't think that would be a big deal for this circuit, but I've been wrong before.<br /><br />Is there already a filter cap in this circuit? Just looking at it I see the polarized caps just before the ground line. Since I built my circuit on breadboard I just connected each grounded component lead directly to a ground rail, so do you think that might be my problem? I can solve that issue pretty easily if that's the case, I'll just jumper the negative leads on c7 and c12, and then connect my power supply ground to that node.<br /><br />Maybe I just have a bad wallwart. It seems to me that the way I jumpered each negative to ground directly shouldn't have any impact on the function of those capacitors, it's all one node no matter how you do that.<br /><br />Anyway, if anybody else had this problem and solved it, please let me know.<br /><br />Thanks a ton to the original poster, this thing sounds SWEEEEEEET.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036641331508787322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-10816068741302033882014-05-12T23:01:51.567+01:002014-05-12T23:01:51.567+01:00Just use linear, W tapers aren't very commonJust use linear, W tapers aren't very commonIvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-32687421484684238582014-05-12T22:32:21.866+01:002014-05-12T22:32:21.866+01:00hi, thinking of doing this and looking at parts on...hi, thinking of doing this and looking at parts on ebay, I cant find a 20k w pot, is that not lin or log?.......please help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634450718875608688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-36518620930924146502014-05-07T18:05:39.394+01:002014-05-07T18:05:39.394+01:00hey IvIark, where does one acquire the tagboard th...hey IvIark, where does one acquire the tagboard that's shown in the example build? is it called something special? i've been looking around, can't seem to find any. thanks!Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314417826778422800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-3597259226031732672014-03-31T07:42:08.025+01:002014-03-31T07:42:08.025+01:00Drive 500K log, Tone 20K W, Level 100K lin.
