Sultan of Tone v4.1

Besides the components mentioned in the bill of materials, you will need:
•
2 input jacks . 2 mono jacks if you are not going to use a battery but only the 9V adapter. 1
mono (for output) and 1 stereo jack (for input) if you will be using both a 9V battery and the
9V adapter.
•
2 x 3PDT footswitch (9 pins).
•
2,1mm DC jack (isolated).
•
9v battery clip (optional). I advise not to use it as there is very little space left in the
enclosure.
•
22 gage stranded hook-up wire.
•
Hammond 1590BB case (or similar) in your favorite color. A Hammond 1590DD or
Hammond 1590XX will give you more room to build especially when using an external
presence pot.
Modifications
•
You can experiment with different diodes for D1 - D6 and D8 - D13 . MA856/MA858 and 1S1588
are very hard to find and there are a lot of fakes sold from China. An alternative for MA856 is
BA282. For 1S1588 there are 1n4148, 1n914, but also think outside the box with 1N4001,
BAT41, BAT46
, LED’s etc. If you want to experiment then socket the diodes!
Watch out with using Germanium diodes. The volume drop might be too big.
•
Replacing C1, C6, C12 and C167 with 22nF instead of 10nF will give you some more low end
grunt.
•
You can also choose to do 1 side MA856 and the other 1S1588. For instance make D1 - D6 all
1S1588 and D8 - D13 all MA856.
•
For the High Gain mod just switch out the B100k P1 (and/or P5) for a B250k.
•
You can also try different OpAmps like TL072, CA3240E, OPA2134, AD712, NE5532, JRC4558
etc.
