5 Band Graphic Equaliser

This is the design diagram of 5 band graphic equaliser circuit build using operational amplifier chips, the NE5532 or LM833. The op-amp ICs is a good choice because of inexpensive and comes with fairly good quality output. Each IC contains dual op-amps circuit, so you will need 4 ICs of NE5532 or LM833 to build… Read More »

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.

NAND Gate Clock Generator

The following scheme is the clock generator circuit diagram which build based on NAND Gate logic IC. You may use IC 7400 or 4011 for this circuit. The 7400 is a Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) type, while 4011 is Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) type. IC 4011 is cheaper than 7400 but the 7400 is faster than 4011.… Read More »
