Forgot the numbers, i was talking about a DOD250kleuck wrote:I have another example
I made a clone of an old DO -i usually do not make clone, but a nice guy asked me to, as he's a Malmsteen fan, and there's not a lot of clone, most expensive, i accepted indeed because my first pedal ever, and the beginning of my interest in electronics was a Disto+, almost the same circuit-
He wanted the most realistic in sound possible, old ones used Panasonic or Ceramic caps, sometimes the two, which i choose to do too.
One of the interests of this circuit, is that the use of a very bandwith-limited 741, along with the topology of the nfb, reduces the highs and the low as you are turning the gain pot clockwise, making it really as advertised on the box a "Booster-overdrive" more than an overdrive.
That's already a good thing, but i did a mistake, and in the clamp section used a 10nf cap as a filter, where there should be a 1nf !
You should think that the sound would become dull, but not at all, it turns the DOD in a very very good OD, perfect for blues and classic rock, touch sensitive and natural-sounding (yes, with the original SI clamping diodes) !
I would not play an original, but this simple mistake radically changed the sound of the pedal, for the best i think.
Replacing the clamping resistor too for a 8K2 instead of 10K made perfection (to me)
