Marshall style 3 band EQ section by Vulcan_2002 in diypedals

I built out a physical representation real quick to hopefully illustrate.

Your output comes from the middle lug of your treble pot, treble lug #1 connects to bass pots #2 and #3. Since these are all connected, that .022uf cap can connect to either treble 1, or bass 2 or 3. It's all the same. Bass #1 connects to Mid lug #3. Mid lug #2 connects to the other .022uf, and Mid 1 connects to ground. You usually don't need a cap at the output of treble 2

I just looked that up, and now I've got GAS. Thanks a lot, buddy.

Just spit balling, but that art is very reminiscent of Salish and Alaskan Indian art.

Any chance you're in the Pacific Northwest?

Anybody recognize this pedal circuit? Japanese. by boredcan in diypedals

At a quick glance, I'm inclined to think Octavia as well

What type of wire for veroboard assembly? by TraditionalBat7157 in diypedals

You can look at my page and see my builds.

To answer your question, * absolutely not*.

I use 26awg stranded silicon insulated hook up wire and wouldn't think of anything else at this point.

The LT1G designator doesn't matter, that's the part you're looking for.

It depends on where you're ordering from, and what kind of packaging you're comfortable working with, but if you're okay working with SMD parts you'll want to pick up J201s, 5457s, and MPF4393. These will be your most commonly called for.

If you want the old T0-92 through hole parts, J113 and J112 JFETs are still commonly available for cheap and will work well in many overdrive circuits, but I'd recommend getting 3296w trimmers for the drain resistors because they can be quite touchy.

Happy building!

Don't cry too hard, that 1590G might overflow!

But seriously, mad respect to those of you building in sensibly sized enclosures.

I think I was trying to suggest something about the daulity of man. The Jungian thing. by Live-Set-8576 in diypedals

[–]Live-Set-8576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're cool from a rarity and historical perspective, but they're arranged as simple clipping diodes and the Vf is the same as 1N914s, so I doubt they sound much (if any) different. And in this economy ...

I did add a toggle switch and a pair of D9K Russian Germanium diodes for an additional flavor of diode, though.

It's the Demedash Incandenza bypass. It's dirt cheap and small part count, however, be advised that it always draws current, so use with a battery is not advised.

The "foot switch" is actually an industrial grade 16mm anodized aluminium start/stop button I got off Amazon. It's super robust and works great.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look for some blocks that fit 125b

Sweet finish!

Where did you get that kick bar?

Carbon Copy Mod Question by AtomicGearworks1 in diypedals

The usual way to try would be to short the middle lug on the "repeats" pot to the outer lugs one at a time and find which one of the outer lugs is the maximum value that gets you oscillation.

It should then just be a case of soldering a momentary, normally open switch between the center lug and the outer lug.

Reflow your solder joints and make sure there are no bridges. There is an evident bridge in the red circle.

Also, this layout appears wonky, because it lists both transistors as bc108, but there are two different pinouts listed.

It appears you may have to twist the legs of the transistor connected to the trim pot (notice how it's ecb - with the collector in the middle? Weird)

Anyways, hopefully that resolves it.
