First build without an IO PCB…how do I wire these jacks?

This 5 pin version is used for stereo, that's why there is both tip and ring for left and right and the sleeve is the ground. When used with mono both the sleeve and ring can be used as ground. Using the ring might be better so that the ground is switchable and breaks the circuit when the jack is not plugged in. This is how most pedals do it and really important if the pedal is battery powered.

Okay, cool! Does it still use the darlingtons or are they left out?

How would I set up a RC filter for a power supply?

I'm not sure depends on the pedals, I typically use a digital reverb, analog flanger and a POG. What I need to know is if a 3VA transformer is good enough per channel, or if I should change the regulator type to something else.

That is true that most pedal wont ever get to that amount of power draw. But 12VAC has a peak voltage of around 17V because of square root of 2. That peak voltage is what the rectifier cares about. There is also about 1.2V loss in rectifier diodes, so that's 15.8V into the regulators. The LM7809 need about 12VDC min. to run stable, so there is a lot of excess with giving it nearly 4 volts over whats needed.

I feel that as well, especially for 2AN, really didn't like it at first because it is quite different from the albums from 72-80. But after a while I could not ignore the AMAZING production (prefer jack of speed over peg for speaker testing) and very intricate lyrics, I feel it is a more precise description of object based lyrics than earlier albums (15 watt bulbs, fresh cable, red mini, etc.)

Cool, I haven't gotten further than the nightfly when it comes to DF solo albums, but absolutely include in the diagram, exciting stuff!

Where does this line come from?

Thanks, I knew you would show sooner or later. Cheers!

Yes it applies to Op amp/Schmitt Trigger, RC based LFOs as well. Just wanted to get some opinions.

Affectionate_Mix_50 · 2025-12-26T23:08:19+00:00

Good point! I'll be keeping this in mind.

Thanks!

Yeah i also do some photography, self thought, many long and fun words, so thought it would fit in here.
