element14 presents | How to Use a JFET as a Buffer in a Guitar Distortion Pedal - DC To Daylight @element14presents | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In the previous episode of DC to Daylight, we worked with JFETS. In this application-based episode, we're making a prototype guitar distortion pedal, using JFETs as input and output buffers. We go over the basics of making a distortion pedal, some points of interest in typical topologies, and point out subcircuits that affect the tone of your guitar along the way. Let's get shredding!
