Budda - Om Overdrive [schematic]

- Breadboard Brother
Thanks for the great work on this. I had a couple questions about the caps on the board as compared to the schematic. C9, C10 and C11 mainly in comparison from board to schematic. Reason I ask Is I built this and the voice of the drive is killer but over is really bright and noisy. C10 schematic shows a 2.2uf on the board it looks like a standard cap. C11 I can't find on the schematic (could be me....I am blind as a bat). C9 on the schematic shows 2.2uf on the board is 5.6n. C6 on the board I am guessing is 1uf but c6 on the schematic is the 5.6n
Thanks for any help on this.
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question.
Thanks again for all the great work!

I would very much appreciate it if you could measure the voltages at the transistor pins and give us the read values.
Which gain class has the BC547 A, B, or C?

Thanks, I found the read values on this website:Frabbio wrote:I am sorry but i don't have the pedal anymore. IIRC the transistor was a Bc547C.

The OM overdrive is derived from the May Queen overdrive.

Well I KNEW I'd seen this odd arrangement somewhere. Its a Escobedo punch in the face betwixt the two opamp stages. Well Lo and behold its a damn near exact copy of the wonderful Carl Martin Crush Zone

I give up ,a further write error.
I should think about to use the preview function.

I thought the Crushzone sounded pretty good, as does this. Too bad Budda didn't add something interesting to the design like 3 band EQ, rather than just producing a straight clone.

I built a crush zone off Tagboardfx a while back and noticed the input cap at 220pf was WAY smaller than anything I've ever used so I swapped it out for a 8.2nf and it was slamming. Then put a hot 2n5485 in the fet socket and its been on my board ever since. Now knowing what the om is I wonder if their compressor is a clone as its quite weird as well
