Basic Audio Lucky Number

Hey there, is it possible to do this one up? BALN.jpg

Hi. How much do you know this schematic? Did you listen some demo?
I emulated it, and it sounds very bright. I'd say it need some treble cut somewhere, or at least leave out the 3.9k resistor in the tone to tame a bit more highs.
Perhaps change the tone, I don't like too much that configuration. My personal opinion.

But if you heard this circuit sounds and you like it just like this, then fine.

I heard a few different demos and like the sound. Plus  it's a Basic Audio circuit and John does solid work.

Here's my layout. now VERIFIED.



Tell me if I forgot something or there's something wrong.
The LED wiring in this pedal is not as we used to do usually. And I wired as we usually do. You can see the 4.7k resistor between the 9v and the LED+. The standard method.

Don't forget to update us about this building, if you're building it soon.  I found some demo of this pedal, and it sounds cool.

(You can jumper the 3.9k if you find it too much bright, or just to try it. Or, maybe, you can add a small cap, 50-100pF, between K9 and M9 to cut some treble.)

Good Luck...y!

Rad! I'll look this over and give it a go when I get some time, maybe later this weekend.

Has my layout never been verified, Jaysharpwilliams?

[Jaysharpwilliams]

No, I got sidetracked. I'll give it a go soon.

Built and working. Thank you for your layouts, Elijah.

It's a drive/fuzz mix sound that can be adjusted from a nearly clean boost to heavy rock distortion.
The bass cut is very effective, though the tone control is subtle. The designer describes it as more of a presence control.

Elijah, does your emulation show what the tone control is doing?

Thank you!
I updated the layout.
