I bought the schematic but feel a little fooled that the look inside video is behind another paywall. Shouldn‘t the schematics be provided in a way that clearly shows where to add additional components to the 386? That’s frustrating and disapointing…

@franukito 9 күн бұрын

I'm just discovering this diy-pcb making of little circuits that make for nice guitar amps and It's so f*cking awesome. A question though, In your first demo for a gentle gain overdrivy bluesy, which sounds orgasmic to me, but I hear some touch of reverberation also, I'm guessing thats another pedal adding the reverb after this one? Also does this all end up feeding into some sort of generic speaker (decently good), like a 8 ohm one? My man, thanks for sharing this, this kind of content is what makes the whole youtube's worth to me.

I already had a few of these pcbs in a couple of the stereo ones as well that I was going to build into something like pedals. Glad you went ahead of me. I bought your schematics to see how you did it or the AI did it. With your tweaks I will build it on a breadboard first see what I like. I had tried to build this PCB into a guitar to act as a preamp for humbuckers when you split them into a single coil but I had anomalies with the power line and the common ground for battery and signal. If only there was a push pull switch with four sets of contacts instead of three I could have made it work I could have worked around it with a toggle switch but I did not want to add an extra thing to do to get what you're looking for once you go into single coil by the push pull. On a stride it would have been okay to add a toggle switch and do the split with the toggle and the separate the battery supplies from the signal grounds. Anyways keep putting out the good stuff I always liked the stimulation

I just got all my parts, but I am a bit confused. Your schematic for the bypass switch doesn't seem to match what I see in the video. I just need some clarification. If I'm right, when looking at the bottom of the switch, I had to flip the diagram and then turn it 90 degrees counter-clockwise. The diagram must have been a top view with the switch laid horizontal instead of vertical right?

Love it, great sounding pedal! But unfortunately the build instructions lack a lot of detail, so as a beginner this is really tough to follow and figure out how exactly to build this. Also please show the entire signal chain when demoing a pedal, in particular for dirt. Hard to gauge how this would sound with one’s own setup.
