I am sure the schematic is correct. My breadboard works just like the youtube demo. It does indeed get trebley when the filter knob is...

I build a lot but don't box a lot, I don't know if that speaks more for my taste in pedals or the pedals themselves. In any case, I...

That was my observation with this circuit. It's not that simple since there are non-linear elements (MOSFETs Q1 & Q2) in parallel with...

It reduces the harmonics when the MOSFET clipping is selected.

And thanks to Szukalski for the board & front panel. (y)

A more accurate way to describe it is the voltage drop across the series resistance (COMP pot) is proportional to the undistorted input...

Finally got one boxed up. Red LED of course. The GE diodes are Д9Е. The Si diodes are 1SS119TA. The clipping LEDs will light up in...

More compression. A non-inverting soft clipper, like the TS for example, has a built-in clean bleed because the input signal is summed...

Your DMM should tell you. One direction will have a much higher resistance reading than the other. In that direction, the DMM's...

This barely fledged little fella has been visiting our back yard the past few days. He's a laughing kookaburra, not a blue winged...

For my own understanding, the Ge transistors work with reverse beta which is completely undocumented? Now that is punk.

I have seen Si transistors operated in reverse beta mode in a precision synchronous rectifier where the extremely low Vce,sat is highly...

In the right circuit, they can impart a smoother tone, fewer high-order harmonics. And then there's the MOJO factor.

Once you've played thru one, you'll know. It's possible that retuning the tone stack and CONTOUR circuit could produce a better tone...

The Tele players of the world abide ... ;)
