Dead Air Face Disaster

 Phew, February has been a wild month here on the blog so lets end it with a BANG. This one is based on Tim Escobedo's DIY classic, Ugly Face with quite a few added bells and whistles such as a optical LFO section, separate starve control for two of the chips and some tweaked values here and there.

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

    1. i started by fun making a layout for the adhd synth fuzz... an absolute first for me. for some reason i couldn't make it work but i can't find any mistake (probably there are many!). i'm just confused by those two parallel caps to ground (why not a 330?) and that "mute" sign one can find on the schem... (nutty fuzz at pedalpcb).
      here is my layout. Anders, feel free to post if it's any decent and corrected!

    2. Nice looking layout you have there!
      Thank you for the offer to contribute to the blog. Much appreciated. But I finished a layout for the ADHD a few weeks ago. Never got around to upload it...

  5. I remember building this with an NJM386D/JRC386D when I first came across it at Tim’s original Folk Urban site many moons ago. Seemed to have less noise than the National LM386-3?
