The following diagram is the schematic diagram of Active Tone Control circuit, or we often call this circuit as “ACTOR”. The circuit is quite simple, easy build and inexpensive, you can build this circuit with minimum / low cost. Active Tone Control or ACTOR is an active electronic audio circuit that serves to increase the… Read More »
The following diagram is the schematic diagram of electric guitar effect: Electro-Harmonix (EH) Big Muff Pi. The EH Big Muff Pi effect circuit would probably be better making the change by a modern input-jack power and a DPDT bypass switch. The types of transistors and diodes are unknown. It is likely that any high gain… Read More »
The following diagram is the circuit diagram of low cost 12V stereo tone control which also available in kit, you may find the kit at electronic part store around your place. The circuit build based on ordinary tone control circuit, using two low cost transistors FCS9014 in each channel, so there are will be four… Read More »
Below diagram is the circuit diagram of Dan Amstrong Blue Clipper fuzz, effect for electric guitar: The Blue Clipper is a thick sounding fuzz with gargantuan sustain. The Blue Clipper delivers a nice, thick fuzz like the Muff, but this unit packs a little more bite. The big difference is that the gain level is… Read More »
Here the schematic diagram of Fender Bassman 5F6-A tube amplifier. This circuit is a tube powered amplifier which is used as a bass guitar amplifier. Fender Bassman was a bass amplifier introduced by Fender in 1952. Although it was originally designed for bass guitars, it is often used for normal electric guitar in rock and… Read More »
The circuit below is a Dynamic Mic Compressor circuit which is simple, easy to built, inexpensive but the results are quite satisfactory. Audio output sounded outstanding. The principle of this circuit is very simple, the first transistor is used as microphone pre-amplifier. Then a second transistor used as a buffer. And the third transistor is… Read More »
Here the schematic diagram of Axe Grinder Electric Guitar Effect pedal. You may download the PDF version at the end of the post. The Axe Grinder is designed with a few key fetures in mind, it not only serves a wide range of distortion sounds clipping part of the effect, it also gives the user… Read More »
The following scheme diagram is the four 4 band equalizer circuit. Equalizer device is generally used to improve the fidelity of sound, to emphasize certain instruments, to remove undesired noises, or to create completely new and different timbres. This circuit operated with 12VDC symmetrical / dual polarity power supply. Power supply circuit provided on above… Read More »
This is a very basic circuit diagram of 3 band tone control. This basic tone control circuit was originally intended for home audio use, but should be able to be hacked into an effect circuit with very minor modification. Resistance value of resistor R1 is left up to the user depending on gain needs, R2… Read More »
