Title: Effects Layout Odd One Out
Post by: jjjimi84 on March 05, 2020, 05:26:12 PM
Here is an Odd One Out, a take on the classic Boss OD-1. I love reading PCB build docs, even on stuff I never will build, and in this one he states "it is my favorite sounding overdrive". I had to build it, I had to, I needed it. So I built it and I didn't really like it, at all. It was kinda harsh in the top end and I didn't gel with it. Originally when I built it I used a quad op amp that I had laying around which was a LF347, I figured I would try swapping out a different op amp to see if that made it any better. I went to my local electronics shop and grabbed a NTE 859 and ran it into the Mesa Fillmore 50 and it sounds really good. I like to keep the gain low around 9 o'clock and the level around 2 o'clock and it has some magic in it.

The ogre is just eyeing you like you are dinner or his next conquest......
