Hey, people, here there's all the stuff you need to build a clone of SG-1 pedal.
SG-1 is an attack delay unit, it means that your guitar will sound as a reversed tape recording. It's a strange sort of volume swell pedal.

Schematic: http://offramp.supereva.it/SG1schem.gif
PCB: http://offramp.supereva.it/SG1pcb.gif
comp layout: http://offramp.supereva.it/SG1layout.gif
comp list: http://offramp.supereva.it/SG1comp.txt
important notes: http://offramp.supereva.it/SG1notes.txt

Please, read the notes before build it.
Let me know what you think about it, suggestions, errors and other stuff like this...

Yes, I've built it on a earlier version of the pcb. There's just one difference between my prototype and the one I posted here: I rearranged the IC pinout, cause I designed my earlier version around TL072 pinout, but I definitely chose 741 because I wanted to stay as much close to the original SG1.
I used the same components listed in the component list.
It works very well, no noise or strange behaviours at all.

Thanks for the project, simple and cool. I'm thinking to build it.

Yeah, thanks~! It's on my long list of builds but I will do it~!! I have wanted one of these for a long time.

It seems that this post will quickly be forgotten. If there's somebody who wants to publish it on a web site, contact me.

If you want, I can put all in my site.

Thanks Zero!

I'd like to build one without the fet switching. Do you know what can be eliminated from the standard circuit?

Thanks,
Dan

The bypass in this one is a little different from fuzzes and others like that.

Instead of using switches to reroute the signal, it just turns the effect control voltage to a constant level. From glancing at the schematic, it looks like you could just omit everything in the switching circuit up to and including R11. You might need a resistor from the R11/P2/R20/C12 junction to ground to compensate for the switching going away, but that's just a guess. :)

Hey, can anybody reupload the files? Thank you!!

I just designed a new fuzz circuit! It almost sounds a little different than the last fifty fuzz circuits I designed! ;)
