EPISODE 6: Adding A Distortion Control To The Electra Distortion - SHORT CIRCUIT

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- Today, I am exploring the various and commonly used gain/distortion control types that work well with the Electra and any single transistor circuits in the same family of topologies.

Thank you for going into Electra and LPB1 and not rushing into more fancy stuff yet. This is perfect! I've somehow managed to build all the pedals on my board from internet info (including power supply) so far except delay that I finally had to admit defeat on but I got a 3 Series one and moved on. Learning lots and great entertainment. I hope evryone watching appreciates what you are doing. This is how it's done people!
Fantastic series Josh. Love not just making these things. But also having the history and all the other stuff explained. Be great to have series on delay and reverb 👍
dude. “let ‘em cook” was not horrible. it was perfect. you are in touch. bless you.
I love this series. Please keep them coming. And I'll keep watching.
just got my Coppersound DIY breadboard yesterday!
thanks, Josh & Coppersound!
I'm not a technical guy at all, so I'm always amazed to see that even the most biggest sounding lush guitar sounds will go through such small wires.
The amplifier amplifies the low sound coming from those tiny wires. It does the grunt work.
I never get to watch these live and participate 😢
I watch these and rewatch them and listen to episodes when I’m on my daily commute. Really awesome series 😎
Thank you for doing these videos and sharing your knowledge with us. This is super interesting to me as an adhd generalist with huge interest but limited knowledge of what's under-the-hood. Love then channel and of course the pedals!
Hallo from Austria! You are a really "not boring" electronics teacher and please plan your short circuits until number 250. Best regards
Harry
Thank you Josh for making these videos. I've been looking at my breadboard lately thinking it's time I build a pedal.
Obviously, the nature of this series means it would take forever, but a few circuits I’d love to see, someday:
Fuzz Face (as mentioned in the ep)
Blues Driver
Bucket Brigade-style delay
Great stuff, thanks for doing this JHS! 😊
I didn't get to watch the first live through all the way, but I'm very sure it's more than worth it.
Overall, I prefer the sound when the emitter is the position of the gain pot. This is a great vid as far as getting into my mind just how many places in a circuit you can tweak and make variable with a pot, also setting the minimum with a resistor in series was an epiphany for me! I would be interested to know what the hell a diode actually IS and why some are clear with a little red stripe and some are black with a silver stripe and why and how and ALL that, yes please! Thanks alot Josh.
Ive learned more in the past hour than I was able to teach myself in many months lol
I'm guessing the resistors on the collector and emitter plus whatever resistance there may be with the actual transistor are working as a voltage divider.
Amazing!!!
Vive la resistance!
As a bass player and new pedal builder, I’m super interested in knowing what approach you would take to make these drives more friendly for bass players. Would it just be a matter of increasing input and output caps? Thanks!
The 47k on the collector also nicely sets the maximum current draw for this circuit. < 1 ma!
Hey Josh, I got a feeling as soon as you start the series on bbd design all the bbd chips on ebay are going to be sold out.
I still have my 2 breadboards from when I went back to tech school for electronics.
Do tone controls next!
Damn that Vanilla Electra sounded like proper ass
Josh, I wanted to know if you have ever tried to use software like LiveSPICE to prototype and these circuits in the computer. I am inclined to start tweaking circuits this way to then build the real thing, but I'm not sure if the computer will be underwhelming. Thanks in advance sir.
Woot!
Beba água !!!

I just had a thought. When you put a pot at the beginning of the circuit for gain, since it is a transistor that has a connection to ground, would you still need a pulldown resistor to reduce pop when powering on? Or would a large enough potentiometer value already take care of it?
If you have a resistor to ground, variable or not like a potentiometer , it will work fine for a pull down resistor, assuming there isn’t a cap in front of it between it and the signal
Hey doctor, I'm leaking voltage from my collector...
I'm a little confused by the 'limit' on the pre-vol pot: Pot all the way off = 0 ohm = full circuit. Pot all the way on = 100k Ohm = 'too off'. You added a resistor to limit it, but I don't understand how you can limit the higher end of the pot by adding a resistor?
The pot fully limits when the wiper fully touches ground -9v
To stop that full OFF, The resistor is placed between pot and ground to not let it go FULL ground.
@@jhspedals Thank you! That makes sense now. I'm absolutely loving this series. Thank you so much for doing it.
It would be really cool if, in addition to sharing the circuit designs publicly, you could also offer a DIY pedal kit that includes the enclosure and all the necessary electronics. This would allow us to build our own hand-wired pedals based on your designs, similar to how Build Your Own Clone (BYOC) sells pedal kits, but with a 'Build Your Own JHS Short Circuit Pedal' twist.
Can you please do the superfuzz. I've been trying to clone one for months now and it literally will not work for me. Any octave fuzz would work, but I'm really searching for that Fu Manchu sound, and I know your Legends of Fuzz has a superfuzz in it, so that'd be great. Thanks.
your link to Brian's course does not have the full URL.
tried to post it in my comment but maybe that's not allowed...
