Photon Vibe

[Jovi Bon Kenobi]

This is definitely one of the best sounding pedals I've made so far. I made a couple substitutions:
-used a TC1044SCPA instead of the MAX1044
-used a B250k dual gang instead of the C100k dual. I just had to solder a couple 330k resistors across lugs 1&3 to approximate 100k.


And I made this little dark box out of electrical tape to do some trimpot testing.

nice build!

Thanks folks. I named it El Goodo after one one the best Big Star songs that used the Uni-Vibe, The Ballad of El Goodo

EDIT: found in another thread that it’s got a charge pump in the circuit, and is meant for 9V power supply!

Hey Jovi!

Awesome build. I ordered this PCB and I’m hoping to build one in the next few months. Quick question...do you use a 9V or 18V power supply? The circuit schematic has +18V but I’ve seen a few other builds using 9V..

Looks great as usual!

Awesome build good to see you again.

Unfortunately Jovi isn’t back, this was necrobumped

Damn, I didn't notice, I hope Jovi is ok, he hasn't been here in a while.

 

[Nostradoomus]

Yeah same here!

For sure.

DO NOT use any power supply above 12V or you will blow the charge pump. This circuit was designed for 9V power. The internal charge pump makes +18V.
