JHS - Charlie Brown
Ok, got it, the first SHO is actually an AMZ Mosfet Booser exactly as seen here: http://www.muzique.com/schem/mosfet.htm
It explains the 2x2.7k, the ceramic cap, the 2 electros, and the 150r is actually 10M.
The rest is strictly the dirt part of the Box of Rock (which is a mosfet BSIAB) with an added contour pot (thanks to AMZ)
The only resistor that's added is r26 (100k), above the contour pot. Dont know whats going on with that one.

Good day somebody have a circuit of this effect
I know that it is built on the basis of BSIAB but they have a different number of transistors and hence cascades

I'm a little hung when he tried to pick up the resistor values
I think that this is very similar to zvex distortron

Google a resistor colour chart,, Good practice for you.
First 3 bands are value numbers,,
4th band is the multiplier,,
5th band is the tolerance.
Post your results to check your work.

Yes it can be confusing and more so with 5 bands.
Take R12 (top left next to C8) you read that one from left to right.
So,,, Brown (1), Black (0), Black (0), Yellow (4), Brown (1)
First 3 gives you 100 then Yellow is the multiplier which means you multiply 100 by 10,000,,,,or just add 4 zeros.
So R12 is 1Meg
Multipliers work thus;
Black= x1
Brown= x10
Red= x100
Orange= x1,000
Yellow=x10,000
etc;
5th band is Brown which =1 so it's a 1% tolerance.
If you read the bands backwards and it makes no sense then just read it the other way.
R1 (Top Center) might confuse you as the multiplier is Gold.
So grey, red and black reads 820 but the multiplier in this case is less than 1.
Gold means you multiply x .1 which gives you 82 Ohms,,,, or just take away one zero.
Hope it helps,,

Yeah, those look about right. I marked R4 as 1.7k but meant 2.7k.. mistake R2 and R11 I brought up to the more common values.POTL wrote:R1 82R

Im right?
Hey
I posted all the resistor values on the previous page!
Basically it's a Box of Rock without the boost part and with an AMZ Mosfet booster in place of the first stage of SHO, to avoid the crackle ok thing.
The only thing I can only guess is the role of the 100k above the contour pot. Looks like it's parallel to the pot to bring down its value (say 100k with a 100k resistor to make a 50k pot?)
Anyways, for something EXTREMELY close, just build this : http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.fr/2011 ... -vero.html
Replace the 100n that goes to Tone 3 with a 10n, and add a contour pot (a 25kb or 50kb that acts as a variable resistor between the 82k resistor in the center and ground)

Yesterday I compared the components of Charlie brown and the Bor and Distortron
Too many different components, jhs, will not depart from the original so much.
Maybe someone has one
And you can take a picture of the Board with both sides details, transistors (jfet or MOSFET)
Maybe try to traced the scheme

so someone here knows the big difference about this version of charlie brown between the V4 with 3Q band. Im having issues trying to build this pedals. and angry charlie V3 same issues.
Here one Picture of charlie Brown V4.
tomorrow or the next day try to throw here the scheme of the previous version.
Although it seems to me that I will Frankenstein =)

I can fix later, I was even more interested in the connection scheme - specific power filter and first stageBoba7 wrote:I think the 100n in the tone section should be a 10n in the Charlie Brown (see the 10n in the middle of the pcb on the gut shot)
Also c6 is 22n, not 100n and c2 is 100n not 1n
I joined zvex distortron with AMZ tonestack AMZ and booster, I want to understand everything if I did the right thing?
this is my first circuit
Looks good to me!
It looks like there might be an additional 100nf parallel to the 47/100uf in the power section. Don't know.
And we don't know the tone pot value, though it might well be 25k.
I don't really understand this contour mod. It doesn't make a big difference in the eq curve. Replacing R19 with a low value and the tone pot with a bigger value would make more sense to me.
