So I’m planning a build with the Bluesbreaker pcb, been emulating some values in LTSPICE, and also removed the tone knob (I know, silly, but it’s a project for a friend). Here’s what I’m planning and my plans to do it, any input would be highly appreciated.
C1: 10nf cap swapped to 100nf, pedal seemed to respond better, is this redundant?
R4: 33k swapped for 47k, I miss ordered this one, but 47k sounded good in my emulations, seemed like it added some gain?
Drive pot: 100k swapped for 250k, pretty simple, more gain
R5: 10k swapped for 3.3k
R6: 220k swapped for 330k, more gain
R9: Removed, less clean signal
R8/R9: changed from 1k, 6.8k, to 10k, 10k
One diode removed for asymmetrical clipping
RC4558 OpAmp
Tone Pot Removed, C6 Removed.
This has been working well in my emulations, I’m planning the tone pot removal on the PCB, it’s my first time and I’m getting a bit confused. What would it look like? If someone could draw it on the pcb for me or explain it, would be greatly appreciated.
(PS, the goal was to take a Bluesbreaker style circuit, hot rod it, and voice it like his OD-1 rev A)
