This is an audio effect circuit that give extra oscillation to your
guitar, percussive, or semi percussive instruments, you can call it a
funk box. This guitar effect circuit is basically a damped oscillator
that is set slightly below its critical oscillation point.
The
oscillator part is constructed by feeding back the output signal through
a bandpass circuit, with the center frequency is adjusted by
potentiometer R7 to add an extra “twang” , adjustable from low to high
pitched timbre. Potentiometer R4 is used to adjust the gain of the
oscillator, should be set to damp the oscillation at the desired decay
time.
To adjust it, turn the knob slowly until a steady oscillation
occurs, and turn back slightly just before it happens (the oscillation
should ceases slowly). Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit.
