Folk Boost

[jdandry]

Got this from Bjorn yesterday, thought I should share..Sorry, my build is a little delayed, trying to finish a paper for school.

Hi John,
I don't have time to log in a post but here you go.
DC input goes to battery clip or DC jack
The two points for B+ just connects on pcb ( it just makes a messy drawing unless dividing the points)
B+ on IC is pin 6
Pin 4 on IC goes to ground
This is single supply operated circuit and you can use a powersupply ranging from 6V to 20V but be very ware of output swing if supply is raised higher than 9V's.
50K C
C is the japanese and european suffix for antilog also known as reverselog.
This pot 50KC can be had from smallbearelec

the 47nF input cap is a plastic film suggested Mouser partnumber:
505-MKS2.047/63/10
the littlenote on the side of the cap in the schematic is an M and denotes in my own program a plasticfilm capacitor and you will find a similar small letter on the other two small caps 560pF and 100pF 'G' which denotes in my own program Glimmer or Mica but ceramic will actually do just fine.

I'd think several would be waiting to hear what this one sounds like and it's a simple build and requires no precautions and works every time so it should make a fine folk project

Have fun
BJ

Thanks for sharing that, John! I can't wait to get started on mine... Good luck with your paper!

I can't wait to get started either but I need to order a whole mess of parts right now for this and a few other builds i have building up on my desk.

ok, sorry for the delay, end of school stuff..I will be making a trip to the electronics store for parts either today or tomorrow.
I'll get it going then.

waiting on a parts order myself.

May as well

in the meantime...

Any news on the Folk Boost? Anyone got a first version going? Would be nice to compare to the BPB ,etc..

I won't be able to start until after the holidays but hopefully I can get something together by end of Jan. Would love to hear some feedback though. And if someone could do a vero layout or circuit boards that'd be awesome

I hope this doesn't get too off topic, but where are you guys getting parts? Radio Shack, Mouser, Small Bear? In the short run I want to fix a few reverb/trem footswitches and need a few male stereo jacks. I also want to try a 90 degree to see if that cuts down on shorts.

I usually get parts from Mouser, but the website is a little intimidating. The first coupe builds I did, I chose pedal parts plus because it was easier (for a noob like me at the time) to find the actual stuff I needed. I've decided never to order from Small Bear anymore because they haven't labeled any of the parts they've sent me any of the 3 times I've ordered from them...
