javacody Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) http://www.mycgiserver.com/~javacody/images/tonecaster2.gif The black ice overdrive circuit is basically a pair of diodes that clip your guitars signal. I'll try to dig up a schem. Edit: See the link above. It is for an effect project that combines an offboard tone control, the black ice overdrive (switchable from the tone control) and a vintage cable sim. You are interested in the 250K pot and the two schottky diodes. The black ice works much better with higher output pickups, as it is completely passive, it relies on the juice your pickups feed it, which ain't much. If you need any basic electronics help, I suggest the faq over at aron's stompbox forum Edited September 30, 2004 by javacody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
