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
Sounds pretty nice and mid-rangy. I bet it cuts through well in a live situation. Scoop some of the mids, add a flanger and you might have a close approximation of EVH on "Unchained." I'll put this build in my "maybe" pile for now.
May give it a go over the christmas break. The tone seems to do nothing in the vid until it hits the 9oclock position and the distortion control even less. Still worth a look though
Why this is unverified? It seems a nice distortion pedal no more producted. The difference I see with the schematic I found are just in the power supply. The 1N5817 in line to the 9v replaced the 1N4001 across the ground, the 100uF across the ground from the 9v has been added, this is a good thing. The 2.2uF from the VR is in the layout a 47uF, it should be even better. Everything seems correct here. About the potentiometer: the gain pot is linear, as the Rat and the DS-1. With my emulator a linear pot as Volume should be not a problem. But the tone, seems a log pot should be more balanced.

ReplyDeleteWhy is the distortion up the whole time? I bet this has sweet spots galore well below 3 oclock. Bad review as a result. And power chord hell.

ReplyDeleteMaybe because effect only uses linear potentiometers, but Gain and Volume should be logarithmic?
