    Gorilla Glasses clipping pot no effect

    Here's the output signal with clipping pot @ min and max: 1. Ltsice simulation. 2. Circuit on breadboard. Pot @ max pot @ min Check connection between diodes and GND and also diodes and clipping pot. Inspect the PCB. Maybe there's an error on a PCB? Missing track?

    Gorilla Glasses clipping pot no effect

    Make sure that R13 is 4k7 not 47R. There shoud be visible difference on the oscilloscope between min and max pot setting. What's the signal level between C15 and R13? Did you measure clipping level with maxed gain?

    Noob question VCC and VREF

    I suppose you can use +9V and VR. Just make sure that +9V is label name, not a solderpad name.

    When to use J113 to substitute J201 ?

    As a gain stage - not really. As a buffer (source follower) - yes. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/son-of-ben-no-signal.23240/

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    By increasing the value of the feedback resistor , the gain of the opamp increases. The equation for the on-inverting op apmp is quite simple Av=1+(R2/R1) where R2 is our feedback resistor. So, with default values we have 1+(3k3/1k) = 4.3. 1V in = 4.3V out. By clipping I mean cutting top and...

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    Couple things you can try. 1. Lower the gain of the first op amp. Replace 3k3 with 2k or even 1k5. With 1k5 you need around 2Vpp at the input to see the cliping of the 1st opamp. Seems to be a safe margin. 2. Increase gain of the 5th op amp a bit. Replace 1k5 with higher value. Judge by ear...

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    How do you use the DR103? As an overdrive for a clean amp, as a preamp for a power amp, as a preamp for an audio interface? Maybe you need to make sure that the input signal does not exceed a safe level and implement the additional drive in a different way? For example, check if it is safe to...

    Paragon OD No signal

    Can you measure the voltage at the marked point? The charge pump appears to be working correctly.

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    I refer to the original schematic, but it doesn't really matter. First, second - counting from input. I'm afraid so. It' does not look like typical crossover distortion. But take a look here. The thing is that I tested three different opamps (not fakes) with the DR103 and the result was the...

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    So.. there's definitely something going on. With single coils - no issues. With humbucker and stronger strumming - some kind of fizz. Quite familiar sounding, like crossover distortion. So I took the oscilloscope and signal generator. Up to 500mVpp nothing interesting. Then signal starts to...

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    I've just build the circuit on a breadboard using original schematic (normal channel). No issues, no farting sounds. Not much gain (less than I expected). It's a bit late now to properly test it with a guitar.

    HiwattDr103 pedal clone unstable

    Take an audio probe and check stage by stage where it starts to appear. Input -> buffer -> 1st op amp -> 2nd -> EQ -> and so on.. I'd also build another unit but on a breadboard, just to compare them.

    Son of Ben - No Signal

    So.. it's possible that you have around 1V on a J113 drain, mayble less. With J201 you have around 5-6V. Assuming you changed only transistor, without adjusting Rd (R13 or R12) or Rs. That's because J113 has higher Vp and Idss. This 1V is way too low. You can change source resistance to 3k9 or...

    Reactor - strong oscillation

    I'm afraid oscillations are a built-in feature.. you're not the only one with the same issue.

    Filtering with FV-1

    Thank you both for the tips. I'll try them out soon. SpinCAD. I have no experience with programming so this is the only way for me for now. SpinCAD -> hex -> bin -> AsProgrammer
