3-Rail (+12V) / (+5V) / (-5V) Regulated Power Supply

This circuit generates 3 source regulated voltages applying a minimum of electronic parts. The output DC voltage are +12V ; +5V and -5V. Diodes D2 and D3 conduct full-wave rectification, at the same time charging capacitor C2 on each halves of the alternating current cycle. At the same time, diode D1 with capacitor C1, and… Read More »

Sound Effect Generator UM3561

This is a really simple sound effect generator based single sound generator chip UM3561. The UM3561 will generate four kinds of sound effects. The basic operation is that the UM3561 will generate the sound signal, then the signal delivered to 2N3706 (as speaker driver) to be amplified so you can hear the sound from a… Read More »

Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser Guitar Effect

This is the schematic diagram of Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser guitar effect pedal. The Small Stone is somewhat special in applying Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTA”s) for phase shift stages rather of opamps with variable resistors. All of the IC”s are house marked EH1048, but could be replaced with CA3094 that is a combination of an… Read More »
