An article was found on the Internet about creating a homemade guitar pedal with distortion effect, which I want to share today with you, the pedal is made cheaply and angrily and is powered by 9v (krone)
To make a pedal you will need:
Operational Amplifier TL072
10 kOhm resistor (4 pcs)
1 mOhm resistor (2 pcs)
3.3 kOhm resistor
680 kohm resistor
Potentiometer 100 kOhm (2 pcs.)
50 kΩ potentiometer
Capacitor 100 nF (3 pcs.)
Capacitor 10 nF
Capacitor 100 uF
Capacitor 47 nF
Capacitor 47 pF
Capacitor 100 pF
Diode 1N4148 (2 pcs)
Button
2 jack sockets 6.1 mm
Connector for crown and crown.
All this can be bought at the nearest electronics store. Also for convenience, you can use tweezers and a third hand for soldering.
The scheme of this project was found on the Internet.
But the author will not do it on a circuit board, since it will first have to be made, and not everyone knows how to etch printed circuit boards. This pedal will be as simple as possible. The author will collect it on a cardboard 66 * 33 mm, it will be as the main board. It will turn out something between a printed circuit board and a hinged installation. The author sticks a mock-up of the project onto a cardboard using PVA. The layout before this must be printed in real size (as in the photo).
Next, holes were made in the cardboard under the paws of the radio parts with a sewing needle.
In no case can you cut off the legs of parts, they will act as tracks. Now the author inserts the details into their places, and on the reverse side solders the tracks.
In some places, their length will not be enough, so the author uses wires. Like here:
When everything is ready, the board will look like this:
Now, according to the scheme mentioned earlier, the author solders the connector for the crown battery and jacks for jacks.
Places where a closure is possible, the author glued with hot glue.
At this manufacture, the circuit itself is completed.
After a short test, it became clear that the pedal was working. Now we need to make a case for it. The author decided to make the case out of the box from under the sponge for shoes. The collective farm, of course, but the pedal was originally made "cheap and cheerful."
Holes for potentiometers and buttons are made in the lid. On the sides for jacks.The box was not enough. And with the crown it was barely closing, so I had to wind the lid with tape.
For the krutilok, the author found a couple of pens, but they did not fit here. Therefore, he decided to use a trifle to twist the gain, tone, level knobs. This completes the production of the Distortion guitar pedal. The project is quite simple, the sound is fine with the author.
