Pre-Amp + Tone Control with TDA1524A

This is a low noise and distortion pre-amplifier and tone control circuit in one module. Using a special IC TDA1524A, this simple circuit is easy to build and will drive most of power amplifier. Schematic diagram:

Remote Control Tester

Here is the remote control tester circuit. This circuit is really a simple and easy tester for verifying the basic operations of an infrared remote control unit. It is low-cost and very easy to construct. The tester is designed around infrared receiver module TSOP1738. Operation of the remote control is identified by a tone from… Read More »

100W Power Amplifier Based IC TDA7294

This is a very interesting circuit design to assemble. There are 4in1 amplifier module in a circuit board. 100W power amplifier using the TDA7294, for the VU meter uses IC LM3914. The tone control preamp uses the well-known IC 4558. The symmetrical power supply module also included in the PCB.

Maestro Boomerang Pedal

Here the circuit diagram of Maestro Boomerang pedal / Wah-Wah pedal for electric guitar effect. Note: Transistors Q1 and Q2 were designated P-2356. The Maestro Boomerang is not only a wide range wah wah pedal but also a volume pedal. It’s deemed as one of the best wah pedals ever built – and I totally… Read More »

Axe Grinder Electric Guitar Effect

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 »

Six LED Stereo VU Display

The following image is the scheme diagram of six LED stereo VU display circuit which build using Dot/Bar Display Driver IC LM3915. This VU display should be connected before amplifier module circuit. You may connect this circuit at pre-amp output, tone control input/output or equaliser input/output. This circuit powered with 12V DC supply. About LM3915:… Read More »

35W Power Amplifier with STK-082

Here the great 35W power amplifier with single IC STK-082 from Sanyo Semiconductor. Simple circuit with high power output.. 🙂 This circuit uses symmetrical (dual polarity) power supply with maximum power voltage is 43V based on the datasheet document. The recommended voltage operation is +/- 30V. For stereo application, you just need to build two… Read More »
