Guys, I also don't understand the connection of the pot.
Why is one sv labeled 100k and the other 500k?

Re: Keeley Compressor C4 [gut shot] [traced]
A massive improvement can be obtained by duplicating the transistor that's connected to the output of the CA3080. The one that's there already (with the equal emitter and collector resistors) can continue to be used just as a phase splitter to feed the two recifier circuits. The additional transist...

Re: Ibanez - SD-9 Sonic Distortion [schematic]
Managed to respond changing the 56pf to 560pf in the colector of the transistors.
But now switch is very bouncy. Work most of the times.
Using 470pf as the boss flipflops improves
Any suggestions?

Sorry Dirk
I had to rasterize the vectors on that to overcome the size limit of 1mb of the forum
here it is on dropbox
Is an A4 size paper

Re: Solo Dallas - SVDS Replica [traced]
Guys
Ive found this
They say in the page that since theyre publishing the PCB they have taken counter measures for the tracing to be ineffective. But with these photos we are back in the game of realizing what does it do. We can figure almost everything

Re: Wampler - Cranked AC. [traced]
Brian stated that you have to build the circuit with the recomended resistor values and pinch several J201 until you find a set that bias at 4,5 or 5 volts.
You can replace the resistors with trimpots but the voicing of the pedal would be different

Guys I tried the PNP version and I can't manage to properly bias the tranny I used a japanese 2SB175A with 84 hfe and 32uA of leakage. The germanium diode is a 1N60P By moving the balance pot y get a range of 5v to 9v between ends The audible effect is like a volume control, no change in fuzz charac...

Re: Mad Professor - Deep Blue Delay [traced]
Hey guys
I made a version of this pedal and it had a very noticeable volume jump from bypass to on
So I tweaked the 12k resistor in the feedback loop of the last opamp and that did the trick to unity gain.
I think I left it in 10k or 8,2k
regards

Re: Baja Music Man guitar and bass onboard preamps [documentation]
Johnston_evo3 dou you hear treble loss with the blend pickups system and the preamp?
In previous pages of this topic they said that a blend pot will load the input of the preamp causing teble loss. That you must add a buffer before the preamp to work properly

Corrected.
Done.
I'll verify the pcb and post what happens later.

Fuzz Factory NPN AC127 - PCB n Layout Inside
Guys.
I have at my disposal a lot of AC127s so I decided to make a negative ground version of the fuzz factory
Here is the schematic

Please check if everything is okay and I hadn't made any mistakes...
