Hi all,
I urgently need help with this distortion pedal that I want to build. I'm quite inexperienced and any electronic education I do have is directly taken from Grade 8 science textbooks as I am only 14.
Here is the diagram:
**broken link removed**
I got this from Schematic Diagram - Free Schematics Download. There it says that it's a boss DS-1 but it isn't. Anyway, this is my first time building a circuit of this level of complexity from a circuit diagram and I need assistance. To the left of the image is a symbol labeled VCC, and I don't know what exactly to do with that. I'm also not sure about what to do with those "Earth" symbols, do I just solder them to the metal casing of the pedal??? Another question I have is what type of capacitors should I use for this. Is there a specific type that suits it better than others?? And lastly, at the input and output, which terminals of the jack sockets do I use???
And by the way I haven't purchased any of these components yet.
Thanks
