Pete Cornish G2 Distortion / Darkside Project



"The input to this unique device is our universally acclaimed High Impedance, Unity Gain, Class A, Buffer Preamp with it's superior RFI rejecting capability (to eliminate Radio Station interference) and Low Impedance output, allowing the use of extended cable runs from the G-2™ in bypass mode. The fixed High Impedance load presented to the Guitar allows the pickups to operate at their optimum, even when several effects units are connected after the G-2™. The Unity Gain Buffer also prevents "Ghost Distortion" being audible in Bypass Mode. This effect unit gets the most benefit from being fed into a clean, full frequency response amplifier and I recommend that when you receive your pedal you connect it up without anything else in line, just Guitar/Pedal/Amp, and discover the way the controls interact, both with themselves and the guitar/amp controls. Then adding the rest of your effects, you may find that you need to make slight adjustments to these as they are now being fed with a constant signal when the G-2™ is in Bypass Mode."

    Hi there. I was thinking about making this. Have you built the above project? How did it turn out. I got a few duplicate PCB's of the Darkside one above printed out. Hope it works! lol

    Nope. I haven't built one of these yet ; but because there is a transfer for it -- I assume it should turn out pretty good!

    Thanks Kyle. I will keep you posted. This is my first build, and my first delve into the world of electronics. I've been reading a lot this last month or two though, just trying to get to grips with the basics. I have a friend who works in the industry and he has been a good help. I will let you know how it turns out. You blog has been very useful. Thanks very much :)

    No problem mate, and please let me know how it turns out. I'd love to know ! Cornish stuff is supposed to be top, top shelf stuff.

    Will do. I am giving the above PCB / Schematics a go so I'll let you know how it turns out. If there are any problems I'll troubleshoot them and keep you informed. Chat soon. Cheers.
