Lovepedal Purple Plexi?

[brightlight]

Am missing something or does PPCB not offer a Purple Plexi board? Seems like all the best Lovepedal stuff is there just can't find this one and wondering if it's maybe under a snarky name I don't recognize. Thanks guys!

You can use the same PCB as the Jubilee (Paradise). Sub a Linear Volume pot + change C2 and C4 to 4.7nf and R6 to 10Ω

(I recommend you keep the audio Volume pot though!)

The 800 version is a little different, and I assume better noise wise looking at it, since you're not just cranking the gain and attenuating the input. I think it's definitely worth a build. I still have mine I built on vero board.

Awesome, thank you!

great. I was planning to bread board it to see if I should build both

thanks

Thanks for posting that. I plan to order some parts to try this out. Is there a good alternative to the bav70? My local shop nextgenguitars.ca doesn't have them. Usually I see 1n5817 at D2. Is that an LED at D1?
thanks

Doesn't show D1 as an LED on the schematic, so I'm guessing both D1 & D2 are BAV70.

Diagram from here.

Ya, that is what I thought, but I haven't seen a schematic that had two at the power supply like that. So, I wondered if one was not labeled correctly.

Shows the same schematic with 2xbat46. So, I guess it is just two diodes after all.

thanks

Yeah, I found two at the power section weird as well.


Anti-parallel diodes for clipping I understand, a protection diode I fathom...
and I know...
parallel caps sum;

parallel resistors involve some funky math —

;

anti-parallel diodes for clipping, okay, yup, but...
parallel diodes ... I've no clue what they do.

Schematic says "relay switching not shown" - hmm, so maybe the two LEDs are one red and one green, for off and on...?

I bread boarded the 800 version that @swyse posted tonight. I find it has a sharp buzz sound on attack. One thing i was not sure about is if pin 8 goes to ground with 4 or only pin 4 to grd. If i ground pin 8 as well there is no output. So i think that is a mistake in the schematic
Maybe i will build up the paradise to see if i should order a pcb

Had a look again tonight. I cleaned up the 370p arrangement. That got rid of the fuzz and the plexi sounds good now. It has a lot of gain! That surprised me. I will build it up on a vero board after all. It is like a gainier version on the love pedal jtm
