GasPedals - Dumbbell [traced]

That agrees with what I'd managed to sketch out (and what I described earlier).
The only bit I hadn't fathomed was the 'boost' or 'channel' switching.
Thanks for that bit - and for the full schematic.

Just missing the value of the 47nF on the input.

Thanks for the schematic. Does anyone have an opinion what this is modeled on? I'm thinking partial TS circuit and the 100pf cap parallel to the Red LEDs is smoothing things out. Does anyone have any idea of earlier one knob version of this and what may differ?
BTW, I've got a few extra PCB boards that I made up last year. PM me if you want one. I'll trade for another OD or fuzz board.

This is a nice sounding OD.. definitely worth a build or play with IMO.

Greg, I agree. A guitarist friend of mine has kicked himself for getting rid of his early one knob, one switch version. With the tone and gain mods that I mentioned in my first post, I think he got back in the ballpark on V2 with the ability to lower the gain a bit. Your version was sort of the in between model...I think.Greg wrote:This is a nice sounding OD.. definitely worth a build or play with IMO.
Here is a clip of him using the original Dumbbell in a live gig into a house amp. I did the video for this:

Hi sonicmojo
Thanks for sharing.
Was it possible to recognize the IC type?
In the drawing appears the 5532 type is this the right one?

For sure a TI NE5532.

Thanks a lot for divulge the information.

i've breadborded it and for sure there is something wrong:
the sound looses way too many bass freqs, gain pot not gaining very much
sonicmojo, are you sure about the 22nF cap?
could it be 220nF instead?
with this value the sound is ok on all frequencies and also the gain pot is now functional

You are correct. I must have misread it from my handwritten sheet when I drew up the typed layout. I just updated the original layout graphic. The schematic needs to be fixed also.Intripped wrote:i've breadborded it and for sure there is something wrong:

The input circuit topic of the Gas is same as the Zen, but at the Zen the C1 value is 470nF, the R2 Value is the same.
So the roll-off frequency of this high-pass filter at the Gas is ten times higher.
Is the value at the Gas really 47nF?
The roll-off frequencies are then 7,2 Hz and 0,72 Hz, but it is questionable if this diffrence is audible.

The labeling on that one didn't hold up during degoop for me to see but I took all components off the board and it measured .047 uF on my meter. I just checked my notes again.Manfred wrote: Is the value at the Gas really 47nF?
These labels don't match the current schematic but you can see the exact measurements for everything I could not actually see.

Hey quick q. What does it mean by dumbbell "V2". Does that mean version 2? The pedal I was looking for was the single knob 2 switch (one boost one od) version I see on YouTube but if this is the same pedal just more knobs or something then thats cool! Another question, where can I find this specific IC at? And does it have to be 2 red LEDs or can I change up the colors? Thanks for all the help!

Looks like all the pics are cut off on the ride side. Do the pics extend out or full versions somewhere?
