Cool thing about this pedal is that the blue LED lights up as you play, so I made it visible on my enclosure. The effect itself is ok, the LED clipping takes away too much high end for my taste and there isn't much of an octave effect, but as an aggressive fuzz it's pretty cool
Hi, I've made this circuit, and it works, well, at least with the overdrive channel and the whole gain way up. I'm not sure if it is my iC Or the 1n5819 I used instead of the 1n5817. I tried to change the volume pot for a 500k but still not works, im pretty sure is the ic.
The 1n5819 should not make a difference, you can try bypassing it since it's only for protecting from inverted polarity. It could be the IC, I've had one that was defective once. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI read in another blog that with a LM386N3 the decay is smoother and the octave is stronger.
DeleteI built this and it works in the way I believe its intended. Probably go ahead and verify!
ReplyDeleteCool! Thanks for verifying!
