    I'mma make a laser distortion pedal. that way, not only can you distort audio, but you can also permanently distort your vision :D

    If voltage is entirely relative, then why is the power scheme inverted? xD Is it just out of convention? It would be exactly the same thing... if you changed the -9v to ground, and ground to +9v??? This was always weird to me. Or would it actually matter?

    Hey I opened my Rat 2 Proco and found one of the resisters burnt. It’s either the R10 or R11 or R12. Im a lil confused as this is my first time with repair. I found a similar schematic online but it has a different ohm value for the R10. It’s listed as R1 100ohm. Another difference I found was instead of the 1N4002 diode it’s using 1N4001. Remaning are the exact same. Should I replace it with 100ohm instead of 47?

    Nice video! Would love yo see you analyze Fuzz Factory by Zvex. None of my teachers could figure out what the hell he was doing in that circuit 😂 Had three of them standing infront of the whiteboard, with the schematic drawn on it, scratching their heads.

      Mine seem to save or randomly delete themselves based on what project number I'm using. Projects 1-6 remember the PC's but #7 won't no matter how many times I retry it using the exact same steps I used to successfully save PC's to the other projects. I think it's just buggy (as usual.)

    As an electronics repair tech being in the business ever since school, i can't say that having positive ground and having mostly pnp transistors in the circuit is rare at all..there are millions of products been made polarized this way during from the early period of transistors to early seventies.. it's just not common these days with silicon semicomductors! ..also one must mention that due to historical reasons we nowadays have stuff kinda reversed..simplified the electron flow goes from negative to positive..😅

    2nd AOP is reversing signal polarity, like first. So you end with no reversed polarity.

    • @theandromedacorporation
      @theandromedacorporation 28 днів тому

      Right. And I've seen it elswhere, like just about every simple mixer for example, but then why not just use a single opamp in non-inverting configuration? I've read that they're slightly more susceptible to oscillations, but that can be addressed with a cap in the feedback loop (like we have here on the inverting amps anyway.) Is the non-inverting amp that much less stable than an inverting, or am I missing a different important bit of knowledge?

    Dude.. the diode isn't a 'Fuse'. That is a perfect use of a diode and it is what they were designed for. Hard to take the rest of this seriously when you fail miserably within the first minute. Why don't you explain a better way to do this? And it has to be as cheap as a single diode.

  • @pedrova8058

    9:00 The input impedance of Q1 (without considering the feedback) can be considered more or less equal to the resistance of the transistor, or "r pi" (r pi= Vt/Ib, or r pi= beta (Hfe)/gm). If "gm" is 0.0088 siemens, and beta of Q1 is 90, the impedance would be 10k (but "beta" is real life is Ic/Ib, it's usually slightly different from the value that the manufacturers give us, because it varies depending on the current and t°. In the real circuit, Z will be sligtly lower due to the feedback effect (100k) and fuzz control 9:35 In this configuration, AV gain can also be calculated as Rc/re* (*dynamic resistance of the emitter; there is no external physical resistance ,only the internal resistance between base and emitter). re = Vt/Ic, or re=1/gm . Again, in the circuit it will be lower due to feedback effect of 100k res.

  • @pedrova8058
    @pedrova8058 9 місяців тому

    1:27 that's called "split emitter resistance" (It's used a lot when you want a high, but controlled gain; a compromised solution) and helps to stabilize the gain, making "re" (the dinamic, internal base-emitter resistance) less relevant in the circuit. It's the same as setting the fuzz control at 9/10 of the total travel, there is a small resistance between the capacitor and the emitter (that capacitor is feedback path for the AC signal, when the pot is at its maximum, there is only "re" (internal) between Q2 emitter and ground) That's why a "REV LOG" pot in fuzz control is more functional than a linear/log one (you want fine control towards the end of the travel, so you can leave a very small "split emitter resistance" if you want)

  • @nicksregor4208
    @nicksregor4208 9 місяців тому

    you calculate 14Hz cutoff at the input. What resistance value are you using? This must include the base to emitter of the transistor, yes?

    Brilliant video - Thanks!!! I'm newbie developer and at the very beginning of the learning curve but this was just what I needed to start to understand Distortion pedals. (Thanks again!) One question: I understand the LM308 is an OpAmp... I'll try and get hold of one but, as I've been building small battery amps, I have a load of LM386s laying around: Could I use one of those instead? Many thanks :-)

    There's no bypass path for when the pedal is not engaged.

    • @theandromedacorporation
      @theandromedacorporation 10 місяців тому

      Actually that whole orange section labeled "JFET Bypass Switch" is the bypass path. It's not a typical "true bypass" though, so even when you switch the pedal off there is at least a buffer and some other stuff going on. So in that sense this circuit never fully turns off. If you want to mod it with a true bypass that would be super easy though.
