After starting on an LPB1 last week and a getting a feel for how to actually use a bread board I wanted to progress to the circuit I really wanted to build - a MKI Tone Bender.
I have the PCB ready to go but I want to breadboard the circuit to audition transistors.
So here it is -
I didn’t have a 25u cap to hand so there are 4 100u caps in parallel.
I tested it last night for about 5 seconds at about 12:30am. For some reason my family get really grumpy when I am playing a fuzz pedal really loud in the early hours… So it was just a test to see if it passed signal.
It worked on the first go luckily.
The transistors are a CV7005, OC71 and an AC132. They are being used as place holders at the moment. I’ll test their voltages when I am at this next to see how close they are to others suggested in this forum then I can workout what ones to test next.
I am really enjoying BB’ing at present as I have realised that this is the part of building that I like. Messing with different parts and populating a PCB where as I’m not as much of a fan of the drilling and design aspects.
I have a micro protoboard on the way to make my BB’ing a bit more slick.
