Hey guys
So I thought I'd make a layout for Joe Gagan's Easy Face but with standard positive voltage (the one posted on tagboard is negative voltage), based on Tonepad's schematics.
EDIT: the gain trimmer lowers the gain of Q1, and according to Joe Gagan, it decreases sag and increases clean up. It's no necessary, so keep it maxed if you don't like it (it'll be like it's not there)
The pregain pot actually serves as a gain pot. Joe Gagan's idea is to dismiss the traditionnal 1kB or 1kC fuzz pot (here the 1k in parallel with 22u) and only use the pregain pot for the amount of fuzz. In my previous FF builds it worked really well.It's the first layout I put out but I'm fairly confident it should work fine. I used quite a few parts for power filtering (inspired by recent Madbean schematics), but it'd be easy to remove them for an even smaller layout.
Let me know what you think. I'm gonna build one as soon as I can and will let you know how it works!
