I finished my Egodriver and it works perfectly first time! I'm at the point of trying to decide which IC to use. I prefer to run it at 18V fro the slightly higher headroom. It currently has an NE5532P in it but I have a few other spares lying around that I'm itching to try out.

Today I just bought a TL082 at Radio Shack to try but when I got home I noticed on the back of the package it says "Supply voltage 36VDC or +18VDC".

What does that mean? Is a TL082 safe to run at 18V? I'm using a regulated power supply (Voo Doo PP2+)

Can anyone recommend good ICs for this circuit that safely run at 18V?

I'd hate to fry something.

Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks! I just checked out that diagram and that helps for sure.

So, 18volts is okay with those parts I listed earlier?

Thanks again!

Nooby here. Ordered my PCB today for the Egodriver. I'm stoked about building a possible replacement for the real OCDv3 I stupidly sold on eBay last year. Rather than shell out 100+ dollars I'd rather go the DIY route because I enjoy the process so much. Much to learn, much to learn.

Question #1 - Are there any "layouts" available for the entire Egodriver project in addition to the PCB diagram?

I'm not a "schooled" tech/DIY person, meaning I don't know the proper lingo and big 50 cent words (not yet anyways) but I have built several pedals from BYOC and General Guitar Gadgets with no problems using their layouts and parts lists.

Question #2 - Since I would prefer to run the Egodriver on 18v I want to be sure my parts are capable of handling that voltage. I ordered all 1% metal film resistors, 25v or higher caps, and have yet to decide on the IC. I couldn't find the TL082 at Smallbear so I have an LF353N and an NE5532 on the way to try out first.

Thanks!
