TWANG_TWANG_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/6 7:07:00 Author:May

Twang is a guitar sound that more or less approximates a banjo or mandolin. The circuit produces unusual sounds from an ordinary electric guitar by cutting the bass, severely distorting the midband and highs, and then amplifying the distortion. S1 cuts the effect in and out, S2 turns the unit on and off.   (View)

1000_GAIN_AT_2_kHz

Published:2009/7/6 7:06:00 Author:May

Uses Harris HA-2900 chopper-stabilized opamp. Either input terminal may be grounded, giving choice of inverting or noninverting operation, or inputs may be driven differentially. Symmetrical input networks eliminate chopper noise, limiting total input noise to about 30μ VRMS when C is 0. Noise can be further reduced, at expense of bandwidth, by adding optional capacitors C as shown. Without these capacitors, bandwidth is 2 kHz.- Linear & Data Acquisition Products, Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, FL, Vol. 1, 1977, p 7-69 (Application Note 518).   (View)

__AUTODRUM

Published:2009/7/6 7:06:00 Author:May

This unit generates a drum-like damped oscillation that sounds best when fed into a higher power amplifier. The beat rate may be determined by operating a foot pedal in much the same manner as for a real drum, or by means of an internal oscillator, the speed of which may be preset.   (View)

PRECISION_ABSOLUTE_VALUE

Published:2009/7/6 7:05:00 Author:May

Circuit using two Precision Monolithics OP-07 opamps provides precise full-wave rectification by inverting negative-polarity input voltages and operating as unity-gain buff er for positive-polarity inputs. Applications include positive-peak detectors, single-quadrant multipliers, and magnitude-only measuring systems. For positive inputs, circuit simply operates as two unity-gain amplifier stages. Negative input turns D1 off and D2 on, changing resistor currents precisely enough to give overall circuit gain of -1. Design equations are given.-D. Soderquist and G. Erdi, The OP-07 Ultra-Low Offset Voltage Op Amp-a Bipolar Op Amp That Challenges Choppers, Eliminates Nulling, Precision Monolithics, Santa Clara, CA, 1975, AN-13, p 10.   (View)

UNUSUAL_FUZZ

Published:2009/7/6 7:05:00 Author:May

It seems that guitar fuzz boxes have been around since the beginning of rock, and have seen little improvement over the years. This one is somewhat different because rather than simply distorting the sound, it also pulses in step with the peaks of the waveform from the pickup because of the Schmitt trigger op amp circuit. Capacitor C2 requires some explanation. It should normally be a 1- or 2-μF electrolytic capacitor. However, we show the value as 470 pF because it's recommended as an experimental value giving fgr out effects.   (View)

WAA_WAA_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/6 7:04:00 Author:May

The waa-waa effect is achieved as certain frequencies are amplified more than others.A phase shift RC oscillator makes up the basic circuit. Negative feedback is obtained by feeding part of the signal back to the base. When adjusting initially, RV1 is turned to minimum. RV2 is adjusted to a point at which an audible whistle appears indicating oscillation. RV1 is then adjusted till the oscillation just disappears. It should be possible to set RV2 to any value without any oscillation, this should also be achieved with the minimum possible value of RV1.   (View)

STEAM_LOCOMOTIVE_WHISTLE

Published:2009/7/6 7:02:00 Author:May

The waveform of a steam whistle is a complex combination of white noise and an audio frequency oscillation. The noise generator is a transistor (Q1) biased into zener mode. The audio frequency oscillation is a straightforward mixture of two similar (but not identical) sine waves, which after their addition produce a more complex waveshape.The sine wave generators are twin-t oscillators. Preset RV1 mixes the two sine waves so that an appropriate waveform is obtained. RV2 mixes this waveform with the white noise. Adjustment of all three presets will result in the required sound. Integrated circuit IC1 is an operational amplifier used as a simple mixer/amplifter which combines the steam whistle, chuffer, (generated elsewhere) and two-tone horn sounds into one, suitable for amplification by an extemal amplifier.   (View)

PRECISION_RECTIFIER_WITH_GAIN

Published:2009/7/6 7:01:00 Author:May

Gain is selectively added during open-loop switching transition of precision rectifier diodes D1 and D2 in feedback loop of opamp, to boost speed while maintaining feedback stability following switching. Q1 andQ2 add gain of about 250 up to 30 kHz during switching, because D1 and D2 are then off and do not shunt output of added stage. Following transition, one of diodes conducts heavily, shunting high output impedance of stage and dropping its gain below unity. Article covers circuit operation in detail-J.Graeme, Boost Precision Rectifier BW above That of Op Amp Used, EDN Magazine, July 5, 1974,p67-69.   (View)

Ratiometric_AID_converter_with_centered_reference_using_resistors

Published:2009/7/22 23:54:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 6-13 and 6-15, except that the reference is provided by fixed resistors. Resistors R1 and R2 are selected to provide odd values of reference voltage required by certain transducers (voltages not normally available with adjustable Zeners, such as the LM336). Notice that R3 must be equal to R1, and that both -VREF and +VREF are applied to the ADC through op amps connected for unity gain.   (View)
