Here's a collection of vero (stripboard) and tagboard guitar and bass effect layouts that we have put together covering many classic and popular effects in growing numbers. Many of these have been posted on freestompboxes.org, so check that site out for great discussions on building your own effect pedals. Enjoy the builds and please also visit us on Facebook and Twitter
There is an error. The caps to "adjust" are coming off from Q3 collector, while they should be coming from the junction of 6K8 and 470R. I'll rejig it. Stop building if you're on it... For a while... +m
I tried it too late last night. Quick probing shows that the signal dies on Q1. Although, i'm 100% sure that the layout is 1:1 with the schematic... Seems weirdish to me that there's nothing between Q1 base and collector. I'll keep checking the FSB thread... +m
I surrender with this fu*** circuit. I've checked it a thousand times and compared with the one on FSB and the ToneBender MKII. The layout is verbatim with the published on FSB, and to the MKII until Q3. It SHOULD work, it's just a damned MKII with a different output... but no way I can get a fuckin' sound of it!
Don't know dude, this is ilogical. A Tone Bender is just the same, connecting Q1 Collector to Q2 base directly with a 100nf cap. Nothing between Q1 base and collector.... don't fuckin' know, it has no explanation
Hmmm not heard of this one. Can't find any info on it either.
ReplyDeleteAccording to FSB:
Delete"It's MKII circuit with fixed fuzz and tone section on the output similar to MKIII."

Where is the schematic. Something is amiss.
ReplyDeleteIts a pdf link below the pics on the FSB link.

Fixed with relatively small rejiggin.
DeleteOnthetundra: Fixing it on the board you built should be doable. Sorry 'bout the error....

No problem. Thanks for checking it. I'll let you know when its up and running here.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool name for a pedal. Or pretty much anything.

I had trouble with Q1. Rest of the circuit was fine... I don't get it either. I'm 100 per cent sure about the layout, but never got this to work.
DeleteMaybe it's just one of those mystery things like the downbox was...
