Hi,

I found this circuit on diystompboxes. The spacing for the trimmers was a little wide for the parts I could get buy locally.

I have closed up the spacing and added the bias trimmer mentioned on the original circuit.

I've built the effect and the new layout works. Lots of sound options, with trimmers for each section of the circuit.

Thought I would post it up. Hope someone can make use of it.

Cheers.

It looks like some kind of distortion box with an op-amp clipper first, driving into a CMOS "valve-sound" circuit, finishing up with a two-FET "µ-amp" circuit.

It is,but it is designed to give insane leveles of gain/distortion.... :)


I remember finding the schematic for this online somewhere.... :)

Yeah it's a distortion pedal. I found it at - diystompboxes.com/pedals/schematics.html

I finished today. It's pretty meaty. To say the least.

Worth a build I reckon. Still playing around with the trimmers at the mo. Trying to get the best sound.
