Hi, I have a question about the 1 uf caps in the bsiab pedal. The general guitar gadgets site has them listed as a film type but the schematic shows one as polarized and one non polarized. Does anyone know the correct kind?

Anyone tell me what size the box caps are are used with the BSIAB2 pcb? Are they 7.2mm in length or 7.5. Even better if some one can give me the Mouser number!

Thanks.

hi…any chance of some audio samples…using humbuckers for a change…most of these sites are fender heads..thus mostly single coil so you never get a chance of hearing the pedals at full gain…cheers dude..pukka site…

I built the BSIAB2 last week and I really like it. Could have a little bit more bass. I used shielded wire from lug2 of the level-pot to the footswitch to reduce feedbacks. Thank you very much for this project! The next will be your spring reverb Greetings from Germany

Hiii!!!

Thanks for the layout i’ve made this and sounds really awesome. i’ve a question, when i set the gain control to 0 i have no sound at all, i ‘ve to turn around to 1 to get a sound, also happen with Dr. Boogie, layout, why is that?

Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!

I notice that you have D1 going to ground. The original schematic has it inline from 9v+ on to C4 and the R2/R6 1M resistor cluster. I’m also not seeing your C2 cap int he original schematic.

Did you add D1 and C2 for power filtering?

Thanks very much! I will fix that immediately!

That's a great thread by the way. Thanks for starting that one.
