The Return of Biggus Dickus

[Chuck D. Bones]

Thith time with an acthual PCB. Thame Thircuit. The eyeth light up ath you play.





I was pleased to find that there was no overspray on the inside with this chassis. This time I did not need to scrape any paint. Two little holes are for the eyes.

It’s a fantastic high gain pedal for sure! One of my favourites. I’ll post mine in here when I finish it

Yup, it's damn nasty in all the best ways. Warning: It really makes you want to crank up the volume.

What about an input cap blend like the Gagan easy face for a 6 knob BD? Use a 10pf and a 10uf with a b10k for maximum enjoyment.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

It's doable! I opted for a switch this time around, but a continuously variable bass cut is good too.

I thin you meant 10nF.

Most exthelent!

What's the purpose of R2 and C16? Is that a high pass with a value somewhere around 160khz or am I reading something wrong? 22r/47nf.

Yeah, forget about R2 & C16. I should redraw the schematic with those gone. They're not needed unless you are using the LM386 to drive a speaker. It's a damper (high freq load) for the '386 to ensure it doesn't oscillate when driving a reactive load. Very common in solid-state power amplifiers. In my original build, I wasn't sure if they were needed or not. After some testing, I can assure you that they are not needed in this circuit.

Tomorrow I may play thome Kith on my new guitar.

 

[Danbieranowski]

Where can I hear said pedal?

 

[Nostradoomus]

I’ll try and make a clip today. But for now go look up the Krank Distortus Maximus and imagine it sounding much better haha.

Thuperb. I like the quicketh dithconnects on the power thocket.
