  1. Awesome, got to try this one. Any chance of seeing the Cornish BD 2 ?

    1. BD-2 is the one that is highest on my list of the Cornish stuff. Sadly, there is no schematic avaiable yet but hopefully Aion Electronics will trace it soon *fingers crossed*.

  2. Just finished this and rocked it for 15 minutes. Everything works perfectly. I’ll be boxing this one for sure. Thanks for posting!

  3. I am doing this,and i noticed that the ground resistor R1-1M at the input, in the Aion diagram is 10M.

  4. I did and didn't work, (probably someone was in the mood for jokes),because there is no cut between D1-D2-22k(R12) and Pin4 of IC1.So as it is now, D1-D2-22k(R12)are connected to ground by shorting IC1.After that,it is functional and verified.

    1. Thanks for the catch. Cut is added.

    2. Odd, I built it without the cut and it was working. It’s lent out to a friend at the moment, but when I get it back, I’ll make the extra cut and see if it changes.

  6. Thanks for the CC-1, made PCB & built my new Cornish! Very nice overdrive, i love it!

    1. Nice! Are you using EAGLE for your PCB layouts?
      I've been following the tutorial at Perf & PCB layouts lately and slowly learning it....

    2. I use DipTrace, but im thinking about Eagle =). So look this David's tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFUOM34eEWM&feature=emb_imp_rv_ex

  8. Hey there - this has recently been updated. Check the updated schematic, resistors from bass 1 and 3 are now 11k

    1. Thanks Andy. I will correct those values as soon I get the change.

  9. Hi. I built mine, and have a very noticeable tone suck when it's in bypass mode. There's one thing I found in the schematic made by Aion: all other Cornish models that he traced have the resitor after the 51R one (end of buffer circuit) of 1M to ground. But only in the tracing of this CC-1, this resistor is of 10M. Maybe it's a typo that can affect to the tone in bypass?

  10. Nice layout. Thanks a bunch. The resistor values from bass 1,2,3 should be 11k instead of 1.2k as mentioned above. This was changed in v1.01. Also for people who want to build it as a buffered bypass the buffer out is located in row R where the 10m resistor is located.

  11. Recently built this one and I'm getting a pretty significant clean bleed I'm not hearing in the demo videos of the original. Anyone else have this?

    1. Hi. I think this is correct. I am also planning on doing it(even replace some resistors with external pots), and the clean bleed is noticed by original owners as well: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/the-pete-cornish-thread-mark-vi.1463902/post-32729584

      ''I guess I’m looking for the most natural extension of my J20’s drive sound, with the quickness of a KoT, but all the bass intact and not such a mid push. A ‘together’ tone without too much clean bleed like the cc1 has.''

    2. Thank you! I just wanted to make sure it was a feature and not an error on my part.
