EURORACK PATCHPALS n°7 FUZZ Diodes & LED distortion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Episode 7 of the DIY Tutorials about PASSIVE PATCH PALS with the “FUZZ”. a typical diode clipping distortion circuit, with an added LED clipping circuit. It is passive, so expect a gain loss, but it has an interesting waveshaping effect on SINE & TRIANGLE, with addition of quite nice harmonics. enjoy, or not...
Here is the corrected SCHEMATIC for the FUZZ. Sorry for the mistake in the video

Micro-dirt. Brilliant.
I'd love to have a few of these that are actually stereo, to stick in the outputs of stuff like Roland's S-1, J-6, T-8....
Clear adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing.... You can completely enclose any diodes/etc, air-tight, but visible through the shrink tubing....Especially great with LED clippers... 😁
I would definitely just pay somebody who's already good at buiding them, for several in-line stereo passive diode clippers, built well, to save me building them. . Thinking a few options would be really great: Maybe symmetrical, and asymmetrical, and mixed diode configurations, with various diodes: Germanium, Silicon, LEDS, and on and on...... The sky is really the limit. If many diodes are packed in there, an op-amp and caps can be included in the package....We could even stack them, for a gazillion different clipping sounds. Hardware synths, drum machines, samplers, etc, have plenty of power on their outputs to push all kinds of clippers, and if they have switches for both sides to bypass/engage each side, even further capability is possible. (again, think Roland T-8 with TB-303 voice on the right, and percussion on the left.)
Amazing as the previous patch pals! So small so simple, and still so useful :)
Can I add this as a knob on my guitar?
You can and there are a few tutorials out there. I think even red LEDs have a too high forward voltage for a guitar signal though, but you can use Schottky diodes which should clip even at such low voltages. But it's not the best sounding distortion because there is no tone stack and it eats quite some volume from the signal. So if you want to switch that on for lead sounds, you'll actually drop the volume requiring an additional boost pedal. At this point, you could just use an overdrive instead and spare the trouble.
Here is the corrected SCHEMATIC for the FUZZ. Sorry for this mess !

hello there, i was watching this very interesting video and i found an error in this version of the scheme as well, you inverted the red diode with the resistance, cheers.
Закрепите этот свой комментарий, чтобы люди сразу видели! Я три раза смотрел на монтаж и на схему пытаясь понять как она работает 🤬. Очевидно что показанное в видео устройство работать не может, но в видео же показано, что оно работает. Это непорядочно!
О нечестности говорить сложно. Это просто ошибка и если следовать сборке как на видео, то все должно работать так же. Я добавил ссылку в описание. Добрый вечер

and i will also check all the other schematics in the collection to be sure...
YOU'RE RIGHT, shame on me, scheme is completly wrong in the video. I must have been drunk. I'm trying hard to do it right, but that was a failure. i will update with a correct one. sorry guys ;)
Awesome yun
could u install this circuit into the end of a boost pedal (w/ mini switch) to get a fuzzy distortion?
Of course. Try it and let us know
What kind of impedance does this expect? Will it work on guitars?
I won't lie to you, i'm too noob to give you a very relevant answer. But i would say no. you need enough current and voltage for the LED and being a passive circuit, you have a significant current drop. So if you amplify your signal before the patchpal yes, but plugging a guitar directly into it, i'd say definitly no. cheers
@@yanproefrock651 Thank you so much! Will try it after some amping up ;)
@@yanproefrock651 And without the LED will it work with a guitar?

Why do you sand the sides of the jacks first? Thanks :)
so that the glue adheres much better to the support
Tam olarak görevi nedir ? 😏
Harmonikler ekleyerek sinyali kırpmak ve örneğin bir sinüzoid üzerinde hafif bir distorsiyon etkisi eklemek. Elbette aktif bir devreyle karşılaştırıldığında ses sonucu açısından ne mucizevi ne de inanılmaz bir şey.
@@yanproefrock651 yanıt için teşekkür ederim ilgi alanım degil sadece dikkatimi çekti iyi çalışmalar 👌
SYMPA Z'MEC;;;
never use flux ...
Again the scheme is wrong.
how is it wrong? Im trying to build one in a breadboard with no success
@@blitbleep same here... any suggestion?
deducted from the actual wiring, but not tested: imgur.com/h9sZlHQ
I think the In goes to the left leg, the led and resistor go from centre leg (wiper) to ground on the In side, the centre leg goes to Out and the right leg goes through the diodes to ground. So I think what's wrong with the schematic is the placement of the led and resistor. Hope that makes sense - will try to get around to making it up soon :-)
edit: got the LED the wrong way round in the schematics. made a working one. not sure what to do with it, though. having to many sine waves is not really my problem.
Also: this little friend wont work on Audio amplitude signals. several volts required (i think)
i could listen to hours of this bleep bloop music. by any chance does it exist somewhere?
i have no idea why but its kind of perfect for "i do not want to hear anything but i hate silence" vibes, which is a weird compliment, i know. but a good one actually. not too ambient, no too abrasive.
It does not. I made it especially for the video. But you can check my Bandcamp : prfrk.bandcamp.com/ . cheers
