I usually use 2k2 resistors for the LED, but if that's too bright, try 4k7. The diode is for polarity protection between the power source and the circuit, so you'll want a diode with as little voltage drop as possible. The 1N4001 will certainly work, but better to use a 1N5817 or 1N5819.
Hi I just put this together and work like I figured It would aside from the echos being much louder than the dry. Is there an easy way to add a mix or resistor change to reduce the repeats volume ? Thanks for all the layout by the way. Great work here.
BUT - Oliver Ackermann currently has this pedal on his A Place To Bury Strangers pedalboard and has mentioned in interviews that he designed it to have the drive and repeats intentionally blow everything else out.
That having been said: the following idea is basically the mix pot from the Catalinbread Montavilian and, if implemented here, it will most keep the overdrive in play. From pin 2 of the TL072, run a 12k resistor to the anode of a 1uF electrolytic cap. Connect the cathode of that 1uF cap to leg 2 of a B100k potentiometer (this will be the mix pot). Connect leg three of the mix pot to leg 3 of the Feedback pot, and leg 1 of the mix pot to ground. You may need to raise the value of the 12k resistor since the signal coming off pin 2 of the op amp has so much gain. This idea is untested - and also, bear in mind, I only SORT of know what I am doing here...
Any chance anyone has a parts list for this? I want to build it, and I think I was able to decipher one from the picture above, but figured I'd ask the smarter people. I got a card at the Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit.
Looks great! Do you have a schematic for this, or go straight to DIYLC?
ReplyDeleteThere was no schematic for this. Just the card as is.👍
ReplyDeleteThere is a hand drawn schematic on my desk actually...;-)
ReplyDeleteTHis one is now verified, once again by Henrik.
Cool! Any chance you could share a photo of the schematic?
Delete🤣
ReplyDeletewhat size resistor should i use for led and would 1n4001 be correct for diode ? thanks

DeleteAwesome !!! cheers man for your help .
Deleteso sorry to be a pain but 1 more question....the 1.2nf cap can i get away with a 1nf instead ?
DeleteSure, no probs

ReplyDeleteShort answer: yes, you should be able to do that.

Thanks, very easy to try. I didn't know about the pedals intention. I can get some really gnarly rhythm riffs with the loud repeats as is.

ReplyDeleteIf the PCB you have is the same as above, the part values are printed on the board itself.
DeleteJust finished building this and it works perfectly! My new favourite pedal.
