Guitar Pre-Amp with JFET 2N5457

Designed by Don Tillman, this guitar pre-amp circuit design is dedicated for people who don”t like op-amps module. This circuit is a discrete JFET pre-amplifier design, use 2N5457 as the main component. It has low noise, low distortion, low feedback, overloads gracefully, is small, etc.

Adjustable Sine/Square Wave Oscillator

The following scheme diagram is the circuit diagram of simple easily tuned / adjustable sine and square wave oscillator. With this circuit you can easily generate sine/square wave which can be adjusted both the frequency and amplitude. The circuit uses IC LM101A, a general purpose operational amplifier (op-amp) and IC LM111, a high-speed voltage comparator… Read More »
