nothing special or probably un-done before....this USED to be the "stereo make up gain stage" i built for my mn3007 clone theory build...
ever eco-conscious <vbg> i decided to cascade the two preamps. and add a footswitchable diode clipper. all built in a re-cycled 1590 from my very second build.
now...it may not seem like much, but it's real nice and creamy!! i built mine with the balls pot on the side of the pedal, so i can roll it with my foot to adjust it. you may wanna do different.
anyways...it's built, it's verified, if you want a schematic, you gotta draw one!!! it's basically a pair of eh lpb1's cascaded, with a footswitchable diode clipper between e of q2 and ground.
easy breezy sleazy goodness... can double as a fuzz or an overdrive. if you leave off R9, and turn the gain pot all the way down, you get farty nasty octave down/ringmod/escobedo kinda horrible nasty sounds,
that SOME of you guys may enjoy...i just added the resistor to prevent that, but when ya breadboard this, you may like it better without.
i didn't measure voltages, i cranked the top trimmer full blast, then the bottom up till i found a sweet spot. if you get rf noise, turn vr2 down just an RCH.
there ya have it;
something to do one of these days when you're REALLY freakin' bored!!
Yay, go Jimi. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTY2H8pndY0
ReplyDeleteJimi's cool!
ReplyDeleteSwitch balls 1 and balls balls 3 and this is verified. A very sweet little circuit.
ReplyDeleteI agree, he is a very cool dude and very likeable too! A must watch clip above.
A nice, almost perfectly symmetrical layout if it weren't for those pesky diodes :D nice one, Miro

...aaand i'm back.
DeleteThanks Mark! I updated the labels, description and tagged it.

I was about to call the truancy police! Phew :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I was just out of town with my tiny laptop for a few days :)

thanks miro!
ReplyDeletewoot!
now i'm famous thanks to you and IvIark!!
lol...
glad you guys enjoyed it.
please check diystompboxes or fsb for my latest, the suzy q overdrive..
the best f*ckin' thing i've come up with yet!!
could always use a vero for it, VOT did one on FSB, love to see you guy's take on it.
anyways, thanks so much, i feel really honored to have one of my things featured here!
peace
jimi
That looks simple and interesting.. I'll take it on at some point..
DeleteThanks Jimi!

screw it, sorry to hijack the thread for a minute, but i really really like this thing... live, i use my toneblaster(a modified tonebender) a wah, and this thing into a vibe, don't need anything else.
