Adding to Temol and Blackboardcult, I have succesfully adapted the post-tonestack section of the EAE Model Fet for 9V single supply and it sounds quite good

Nice posts as always, Chuck! Any suggested parts/hfe values for q4 and q5?

I can't simulate the circuit right now, but 12k is a little high compared to what we typically see used with j201s. Maybe the original used (borderline) out-of-spec jfets

I'm happy you did, because that CE-1 is absolutely amazing

Temol, do you happen to remember the jfets you used on this one? Would you be willing to share the layout for this one?

Thanks a lot, Chuck! I think I've got it (most of it, anyways)!

Chuck, If the answer to this is short and won't derail this thread, could you tell me why this Idss requirement matters for J201 in muamp circuits, and not for other jfets?

Thanks for sharing this one, Chuck! Everytime I've seen people use a transistor connected to the VCO in order to have small resistances work, it's been a BJT. Any particular reason you've gone for a MOSFET?

+1 Chuck's version is my favorite drive pedal

Always teasing with the Ethos pedal....

You'll find a few of transistor based ODs on Chuck's Boneyard section of the forum. This one is my favorite: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/this-week-on-the-breadboard-animals-diamond-peak-overdrive-with-some-mods-of-course.13466/

Hello everyone! I'm evaluating alternatives to move away from Eagle and after a bit of a hard time with KiCad, I'll be trying Diptrace. Do you guys have a library that you recommend for pedal schematics/pcbs? Thanks! Edit: found szukalski's library

Nice one, as usual, Chuck! Any particular reason for the selection of the clipping diodes?

Is the little black plastic thing hiding something worth hiding? Or is it just magic diodes and a few hand selected capacitors

If I remember correctly, the desolate fuzz is extra picky of the jfet used (i.e. not every in spec j201 will work). I think this has been discussed on the forum

Chuck D. Bones (the mind behind the Mojito Deluxe) has explained here why he chose to use the BA482:

That was my best guess, as well. Thanks, Robert

Following @andrewsrea nice build report (link here) of a Median Compressor, I've checked the schematic and was left a bit confused by the amount of buffers this thing seems to employ (schematic here), most notably the two built with IC1.1 and IC1.2. I can see the advantages of using a non...

Could you guys please share Vp and Idss in your 2sk208-R? I have a few 2sk118-R that I hope will fit in this circuit (I know I can find 2sk208-R to buy, but I'm not ready to deal with Mouser shipping right now 💸 😆) And if you could share the specs of a 2n5458 that works in this circuit, it...

From what I understand, almost all of the sound we associate with the Sunn Beta comes from the preamp, and the power amp is there to provide clean and linear power. Your powered speakers/monitors can do that. I think you'd be fine feeding from your Sunn Beta straight to your IR loader. On a...
