2023. How the heck are we still alive.. No matter. Let's do another layout or two. This time, another nice, loud little circuit from Dylan159's Unrealeased Circuits - From the source:
Boot Fuzz. I found this simple old-school microphone preamp, and noticed the similarity with the Fuzz Face, also claimed to be based around a microphone preamp, but in this case the second stage is an emitter follower bootstrapping the load of the first for big gains. So I thought why not fuzzing it up by increasing the gain? This ends up being similar to an Escobedo circuit, but with a different, more stable biasing.
Always glad to be here!
ReplyDeleteSome more backstory on this one: it's a mangled project 13 from sound-au (any excuse to name that great site) which I built and use as better preamplifier for my portable recorder. That was the inspiration to turn it into a fuzz.
really nice, built it from scrapped parts except one transistor and one resistor
ReplyDeleteBeen building pedals from this site for about 2 years now ( built over 40 and boxed 21) and started to get a bit more adventurous. Mark this one as verified, worked first go and sounds quite good. I've also done a layout of the "Violets are Blues" schematic from the link mentioned in the intro above and it sounds very good. I will try to post it on the forum if thats OK.
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy, I'll mark it up :o)
DeleteWich one would be volume 2?

ReplyDeleteVolume 2 goes to the output.
DeleteVolume 2 goes to the output
DeleteI don't see volume 2 marked anywhere one the board? What does it mean that it goes to output?
DeleteI'm new to building pedals but I don't see volume 2 anywhere? and what does it mean "goes to output"? doe they share the same terminal?
ReplyDeleteIt may be more obvious looking at one of the old layouts like this one:

So the board output goes to 3, ground always goes to 1 and the output jack connects to 2
