Title: 1. Introduction
Post by: gaussmarkov on May 29, 2007, 08:54:15 PM
O.K.  :icon_biggrin:  My first installment is the introduction (http://diystompboxes.com/projects/intro.html).

Cool thanks, but maybe you should make it a little more obvious where the links are in your text..(like underline it in the power section piece) It took me a while to see I could actually click on the word introduction..
Thanks anyway

alright:  the introduction is here at http://diystompboxes.com/projects/intro.html (http://diystompboxes.com/projects/intro.html)  :icon_wink:

gauss on your sight you list the gain pot as 500k ra and here you show it as 50k ra which is the correct pot to use for gain?

Hi, i don't have 1N914 diodes nor 1N4148. With which can i replace this diode? What sort of traits are desirable from a diode? I measured some of these that i have with a multimeter and most of them have 0.7 v. So can i use any diode with 0.7v?

Haven't tried this project, but I assume you can try other types of diodes. You can try with LED's instead.

Maybe a stupid question, but are the volts not important on the capacitors?

Can i use TL061cp instead?

According to his sight and his comments on it, it's 500kRA not 50kRA

.

You can use pretty much any diode, even led's work.  The important parameter is the forward voltage.  Basically, at a lower forward voltage the diode will clip the signal earlier, and thus there will be more distortion, at a higher forward voltage more of the signal gets through before it clips.  If you use a diode with a higher forward voltage, the signal will be much louder and also cleaner, if you use a diode with a smalled forward voltage the signal will be quieter but you will get a much more pronounced distortion effect. 
Hope this helps!
