sounds cool...I'll update the schematic
thanx

sounds good...I'll add that to the schematic, too.theehman wrote:the one I reverse-engineered had 2N3566.
Sorry, I didn't note that at the time.LucifersTrip wrote:sounds good...I'll add that to the schematic, too.theehman wrote:the one I reverse-engineered had 2N3566.
when you reverse engineered it, what did the diodes turn out to be?
thanx

I've checked it many times and it seems basically correct, but please double-check it by yourself in any case of use - hope to verify it as soon as possible, and to update this post:
Just try wiring Attack 1 to ground. I apologise for forgetting to specify it among the notes in appendix to the layout, hope to add it as soon as possible and re-load the complete layout... hope this can be useful in the meantime.kinski wrote:I'm bummed that Im getting some white noise under the fuzz sound when engaged. Adding more gain does not increase the amount of white noise. Its can be easily heard with gain at 9 o' clock and volume at unity.
I tried adding a electrolytic. Positive to DC power lug and negative to DC ground. This did not help at all.
Is this just the nature of this circuit or am I the only one with this problem? Its not a problem at all in loud situations, but in quieter ones, its pretty noticeable. However, if I run the Astrotone INTO any other od/distortion, the white noise becomes unbearable!
Any thoughts?
I use 2N3566.charriman wrote:what transistors are you guys using for this?
The "Analogman" mod (replacing the 1k8 that leads to the tone pot with a 470 ohm) works quite well to improve matters. Or have you tried it?astrobass wrote:...the tone control sucks.

I tried it, but still didn't find any use to the tone pot. There was some position, either all the way forward or all the way back (can't remember, it's been a few weeks since I played with this one), and it got better with the 470 ohm resistor as opposed to the larger resistor, but there was still limited value to actually using the tone control. It's been put on the back burner for now, but I'll probably resurrect it sometime soon. I've got a gutted enclosure from a Yamaha Overdrive with 3 holes in it for knobs and tonnes of space inside, so I'll probably actually go ahead with that BMP tone control + gain recovery.Nocentelli wrote:The "Analogman" mod (replacing the 1k8 that leads to the tone pot with a 470 ohm) works quite well to improve matters.
