Lovetone Big Cheese

[Travis]

Hey guys! Hope you're having a nice day so far. It's pretty hot out here in Newport Beach but I've got a cool breeze

Anywho, I've been real curious about lovetone circuits lately. Seeing as the Big Cheese is totally rad sounding (listen to pavement!!!) and probably the only lovetone that makes any sense to build on vero, it would be a great addition to the library here

Take a look to:

Here you'll find my build and a link to FSB topic and vero.

Don't know if thigs have changed, but Miro refused time ago to do this layout as he said it would be too big and complicated with the rotary to fit in a 1590B.

Thanks so much dude! Your build looks great

I think I'll take a look at the schems to see what I have to change to make that a stock Big Cheese before I try the Chunky Cheese

Like you said this one isn't too big. Should fit in a 125b no problem and that's only because of the size of the rotary

You're welcome :)

If I'm not wrong the mod of the Chonky is in the later stage, just to get a little more output, but I'm not 100% sure!

From a quick look at the parts lists I can see that C15, C16, R19, and R20 are in the Chunky Cheese but not on the Big Cheese schem.

I'm looking into it more as soon as I find a Chunky Cheese schem to compare. It's confusing looking at the layout!

The demos of the chunky cheese do sound just like demos of the big cheese but I need to hear it in person

Javi is correct.
Those extra components were added just to increase the output volume.
You can see it here:

You guys are great. Thanks albru! That couldn't have been more helpful

Looks like I've got all the info I need thanks again guys :D

I've added a layout in Contributions.
I've managed to reduce the size by using a TL072 instead of two TL071.

This is an old post, but i saw the pedal mentioned in an online article on pedals that should be brought back. I found a vero for it through a search:
