Rivera Buf V
The circuit of the E945 is very simple
with a single op-amp taking care of the buffing and boosting duties,
while the loop is post-buffer/booster. The pedal works really well and
the amount of ultra-clean boost is quite staggering with an internal
symmetrical supply of +/-12 volts. This E945 is ideal with a twin
channel Blackface/Silverface amp or with a two amp setup giving a pseudo
4 channel rig with one simple pedal.
BOSS NF-1 Noise Gate
ICs, transistors and diodes used in the Boss NF-1 Noise Gate pedal:
- IC1: uPC741C (operational amplifier IC)
- D1: RD11EB (11V Zener diode)
- D3, D3: RD4.7EB (4.7V Zener diode)
- D4-D8: 1S1588 or 1S2473 (switching diodes)
- Q1, Q2: 2SC732TM-GR (NPN silicon transistors)
- Q3: 2SK30A-Y (N-channel JFET transistors)
- Q4-Q9: 2SC1815-Y (NPN silicon transistors)
Adjustment procedure:
1) Set the Sens knob fully counterclockwise and the Decay knob fully clockwise.
2) Connect an oscilloscope to the effect's output through a millivoltmeter. Feed a 1kHz -45dBm sine signal to input.
3) Adjust VR3 and VR4 for the values shown in Fig.3.
