Schottky diode has much smaller voltage drop compare to 1n914 which makes asymmetry not so large but still adding musicality to the tone.<\/p>\n<p>FET switching bypass was replaced for more simple true bypass. Audiophile operational amplifier opa2134 on board with good soviet ceramic capacitors. On such a high level of sound quality power supply for operational amp can make big difference. Here I use LowZ electrolytic capacitors Hitano ESX in parallel with film capacitor to filter high frequencies for opa2134. As result we get much more clear response then original pedal. And possibility to choose different diode options make this pedal more versatile.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-83\" src=\"http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_5299-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"img_5299\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_5299-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_5299-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_5299-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is small pedal audiotest video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OzZTF2Nczt4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharelinks\" style=\"\">\n\t<a title=\"Modded Tube-Screamer\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/index.php\/projects\/pedals\/modded-tube-screamer.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"56\" height=\"20\" alt=\"facebook\" src=\"http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-google-twitter-share\/images\/facebook.png\"><\/a>\n\t<a title=\"Modded Tube-Screamer\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/index.php\/projects\/pedals\/modded-tube-screamer.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"60\" height=\"20\" alt=\"google plus\" src=\"http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-google-twitter-share\/images\/googleplus.png\"><\/a>\n\t<a title=\"Modded Tube-Screamer\" Nagar\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Modded Tube-Screamer http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/index.php\/projects\/pedals\/modded-tube-screamer.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"70\" height=\"20\" alt=\"twitter\" src=\"http:\/\/zadvitsky.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-google-twitter-share\/images\/twitter.png\"><\/a>\n\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is one project I have made.
