IC Buffer

IC Buffer

Project description

Based on this schematic by Jack Orman and the layout by Carsten Bocker.

Verification status

There seems to be an error in the layout, although I remember building one that worked?!? Anyway: give me a few days to sort it out and I'll get back on this!

Mods

Use 2.2M for R1 and R2 for higher input impedance (General Guitar Gadgets).

Bill of materials

C1: 100nF
Electrolytes
C2: 10μF
DIL IC's
IC1: TL071

IC Buffer layout

Hi there,

There are 2 errors on the above layout :

- a cut trace is missing under the IC, between PIN 4 & PIN5 respectively VCC - & OFFSET N2
- the ground must be wired between R1 & IC PIN4 on the other side of row #5

Will this fix it? A cut trace

Will this fix it?

A cut trace is missing under the IC, between PIN 4 & PIN5 respectively VCC - & OFFSET N2
To fix: Cut position (5 along, 5 down)

The ground must be wired between R1 & IC PIN4 on the other side of row #5
To fix: Connect (3 along, 5 down) to (8 along, 5 down) with a wire.

Thanx!

Thank you for reporting, I've edited the description and I'll have a look at it as soon as I have some time...

Cheers!

Hi there is this circuit

Hi there is this circuit correct? I built it as is but it didn't work, although I can't see how the suggested changes would make any difference as the cut would break the ground connection between pin 4 and 5 and the suggested wire jumper would just add it straight back?

Anyone built a working one of these?

I haven't tried to build this

I haven't tried to build this buffer yet but it seems like pin 5 does not need to go to the ground. So the jumper from R1 & pin 4 is not needed. All you have to do is put the ground wire in between R1 & pin 4 and make sure that pin 4 & 5 are not connected by drilling out one of the traces. Let me know what you think.
