Something that interests me and to avoid developing the subject on the other side I opened this one.
A topic started by @BlackDeathhere, a passive fuzz module by Skull and Circuits.
Sorry @BlackDeath but I found your stripboard a little too extensive for my taste (there are no small savings )
I try to made one more small (untested, i hope thereās no mistake)
The 1 ĀµF cap on the lower left (connecting input to Q1 base) is seeing an AC voltage ā the input ā so out of an abundance of caution Iād go with an MCC or nonpolarized electrolytic for that one. The other two should be fine.
Ah okay, well done. I was also thinking about adding a switch.
I actually prefer ābigā, widely space stripboard layouts, I find that all of the places where somebody is trying to make small savings are where I fuck up and make a mess, and that vertically-mounted resistors sometimes break during construction as Iām flipping the board on itās back, and I donāt like making too many trace cuts. The flip size is needing more jumpers.
I started stripboarding the Skull and Circuits envelope follower last night too, was gonna throw up an āunverified stripboardsā thread.
@BlackDeath , for the switch I put it on the stripboard but the guy in the description says that it doesnāt belong much to the circuit. @analogoutput , for the cap 1uf, I just copied the original schematic. All are polarized. To try.
Ohh, I see what youāve done, I was going to add a switch not to power the LED (I was gonna just leave the LED on all the time), but as a ābypass switchā, since to use this musically Iād want to switch it on and off at different parts.
I like this thing. Construction quality isnāt what Iād like it to be but itās held up for two years now and the price is low. Among its benefits, vertical resistors arenāt a problem.
Looks like only one on @Dudās layout, aside from the ones for the āmadā mounting holes.
I know, I know. But Iād choose a non polarized cap for that one.
but to move it ā¦ I already thought about it but you have to build the maxi case and then the house around, and after you can never changing to another house till your death
I put Dudās layout together this morning. The only 1uf caps I had on hand were polarized tantalums, and I only had 100kB pots.
Everything works. I shot a little demo video with a simple Plaits sequence in chord mode.
The output was pretty quiet, so I have the output patched through the amplifier circuit I use for bringing guitars up to synth level. Because of that the bypass switch isnāt very useful in this patch; The wet signal comes out 5x too high
