LM386 Overdrive Effect

Published 29/03/2016 by H&G Amplifiers

LM386 overdrive: easy, cheap, and fast to make. This is known and popular audio amplifier circuit with a fairly simple but good sounding overdrive guitar effect. Neither the operation of the complex.

BS170 mosfet guitar signal to the already worsened. the R8 potentiometer regulates the amount of signal to the 386. If you have more than that the chip can handle, then the signal will be distorted. That is, the “overdrive“. So it is quite dry and rough sound. And of course it’s good for us. Listen to:

Peppermill guitar overdrive

Published 12/02/2016 by H&G Amplifiers

We like to test the effects of different circuits, in addition to its own development. So we found a simple, few parts built in guitar Overdrive circuit. The first stage is a 2N7000 or BS170 MOSFET, J201 JFET the second circuit. The J201 Drain voltage is 4.5V. The R9 potentiometer to adjust. Variations may be a little higher voltage softer, low voltage rought the voice.

Some portions of the circuit is different from the original. Example C1, C2, C3 capacitor value. But that does not noticeably affect the sound.

Guitar Noise Gate

Published 20/12/2015 by H&G Amplifiers

While playing the guitar many times there is a problem that unwanted noise can appear. Hence the need for a guitar noise gate.  It happened specifically to a high-gain circuit is very sensitive to the surrounding radio signal.
