Страница 4: ... which distorts it like this A diode allows voltage to pass in one direction but blocks it in the other direction That blocking happens at different voltages in each of the 3 types of diodes included in this kit With 2 diodes facing the opposite direction in the feedback circuit the voltage peaks are literally clipped off resulting in distortion of the signal When you amplify the signal just a lit...

Страница 5: ...clipping diodes o More gain here distorts the signal more especially if it was heavily distorted by Gain Stage 1 o Also different diodes clip the signal differently Hard or Soft clipping here 15 The second gain stage socket also has room for a filter capacitor which will reduce high frequencies o With no capacitor here all frequencies are allowed to pass through to the output o As this capacitor v...

I strongly advise creating graphics that are not aligned to the holes The top graphic with 4 crosshairs is intentionally smaller than the actual face of the enclosure and must be centered by eyeball Once centered tape it down and center punch the marks I recommend using a spring loaded center punch Carefully remove the top template Align the short edge near the switch crosshair on the left below ...
