Thanks for watching! LEDs have a higher "forward voltage" and as a result, the signal will be cleaner/clip less at the same gain knob position. You won't need current limiting resistors, but with "hard clipping" distortion circuits, we usually place a 1k~10k resistor before the hard clipping LEDs. You don't need to calculate the right value since we're not trying to light up the LED with DC current, but just using it with AC signals to clip the peaks and distort the signal. Hope this helps!

@@arito Fab! On with the experiments … :)

@@notabeneenterprises4210 Glad I could help! Have fun!!

Thanks for watching! Yes, these early Squier Contemporary models had some unique non-vintage spec parts, like Floyd Rose type trem systems and locking nuts.

Thanks for watching! And thank you for the very kind words, I really appreciate it! I've always wondered about how temperature would affect the clipping tone of germanium diodes, seeing how transistor fuzz changes its tone noticeably with temperature. Maybe an idea for a future video!

Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! And thank you so much for the kind words! Great to hear you enjoyed the video and the circuit analysis!

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately the 2114 is no longer in production, and the ones floating around on ebay are pretty sketchy. The 5532 is a readily available great op amp!

Thanks for watching! The simplest way would be to put a clean boost pedal after it. But, some fuzz will change its tone slightly if there is a buffer after it.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! The gain pot goes between the 0.47u capacitor and the 1k resistor, as you can see in the schematic around 21:00. Hope this helps, and have fun!

Thx for taking time to answer me. I manage to make your overdrive with opamp and a fuzzface from another videomaker. I dont know why but this one doesn't want to work😢 for me. Thx you very mutch for your great work anyway Thomas (France)

@@thomaspomies1640 Great to hear you made the breadboard overdrive! The only thing I can think of is the pinout of the BC109. It's probably not the same as the 2SC2240 that I used in the video. Hope you can get this working!

Thanks for watching! Yes, as I mentioned @ 1:00 the breadboard overdrive has been detailed in a 3 part video series on this channel! Links for the first two are in the description.

Thanks bruh! Sorry I missed that !

No worries! Have fun!

Hi Sid! Thanks for always watching! Thanks again for the kind words! 😊

Thanks for watching! And thank you so much for the kind words, great to hear you enjoyed the video! 😊

Hi Dan, thanks for checking out my videos, and thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! Great to hear you enjoyed the overdrive shootout as well!

@@arito Looking forward to the follow-up and any insights.

Thanks for watching! And thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Yes, it definitely took a lot of work to put this video together, but I'm glad to hear that people seem to enjoy it! No, I didn't null test, I've steered clear of going deep into the weeds of op amp testing :)

Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your impressions with us!

Thanks for always watching! I'm going to keep my mouth shut and wait for everyone else to comment, but I think "no significant difference" is a good way to put it :)

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for watching! Yes, with typical tolerances for the kind of parts used in pedals, slight value differences will most likely have a greater effect on the tone.

Thanks for watching! I'm going to keep my opinion out of this debate, but... yes.

Thanks for always checking out my videos!

Thanks for watching! Great to hear the new versions are quieter and worked out for you!

Thanks for watching! A lot of it is accumulated knowledge, but if I'm not sure, I do a google search for the datasheet using the part number printed on the chip.

Thanks for watching this video too! Great to hear you enjoyed the video! The TA75358 has a unique fizz that works great in high gain/fuzz type circuits.

@@arito I’m going to definitely look through the thousands (I’m not exaggerating) of ICs that I have accumulated over the last three decades and see if I have any of them!

@@spacewolf9585 Sounds like fun! Hope you find some gems in there!

Thanks for watching! And thanks for sharing your flea market stories with us!

Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your impressions on the tones!

Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate it! Great to hear that this video was of some help to you, have fun with the build!!

@arito I will. I have not found very many videos (if any, now that I think of it) that go over off board wiring. I'm going to try to transfer this to strip board for practice. Have a great one 🤘🤙🖖

Thanks for watching! Great to hear you enjoyed the video! There are so many parameters that can have a subtle effect on the tone, maybe I'll explore diode capacitance in a future video!

Thanks for watching! And thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching! Yes, it requires de-soldering the old parts, and soldering the new parts.

You're very welcome!! Hope my video was of some help for you. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Yeah, the large headstock Strats are really cool too!

Thanks for watching! It's hard to tell what the problem is without looking at the breadboard, but one thing I would check is: ground connection. A ground wire has to be connected to BOTH input and output jacks. Also, remember to bridge the two blue ground sides on the breadboard. Otherwise, I can only guess a miss plugged connection (like I did with mine). Breadboard wires can also have a bad connection. Worst case it could be a bad op amp, capacitor or resistor.

Thanks for watching! And thank you for the kind words! Yes, I was surprised to find that out myself. It's interesting to see the difference in the two companies' design approach.

Thanks for watching! There is audio there, as I compare the noise floor between the two pedals. I'm guessing you probably skipped through some of my talking, but around 5:50, I talk about why I don't think tone comparisons with EQ pedals have much validity.

@@arito The audio goes out at the segment starting at 10:44, right after you say "take it from there."

@@stringtheoryx It may sound like the audio suddenly gets cut off because I turn off the room mic, which is picking up my voice, but the pedal audio is on. Turn up your headphones a little and jump to 11:11 or 11:23 and you should hear a white noise like sound. Hope this helps!

Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your impressions with us!

Thanks for watching! Great to hear you enjoyed the video! I've never tried that mod, but it definitely makes sense since you've already amplified and clipped the signal in the previous stage, that FET stage with only 2 silicon diodes will clip and compress the signal even more. So, removing them should open up the sound. Instead of removing them, another thing you can try is to swap the diodes with LEDs.

Hi Phil, thanks for watching! Yes, it's a simple and fun circuit for a first build, with lots of potential for mods!

Thanks for watching! And thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your mod ideas! Yes, as I state in the video, there is so much you can do with this circuit!

Thanks again for the kind words! Great to hear you enjoyed this video as well! LM741? Maybe a different video?
