mahogany is very popular wood for electric guitar. specially set in neck types

it is hevey, darkness and very stable sound.

but, not enough high tone, so using with maple top.

Boss DM-2 Delay pedal

2011-04-28T23:53:00.000-07:00

Boss DM-2 Delay pedal

Controls: Repeat Rate, Echo, Intensity
Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor
Input Impedance: 470kΩ
Output Load Impedance: over 10kΩ
Residual Noise Level: less than -100dBm (IHF-A)
Delay Time: 20ms-300ms
Recommended AC Adaptor: ACA Series
Current Draw: 11mA (DC 9V)
Dimensions: 70(W) x 55(H) x 125(D)mm
Weight: 450g

there are at least 3 different versions of this circuit. The first DM-2 version was using the MN3005 BBD and the MN3101 Clock Driver IC (PCB marking: ET5214-510).

Later they changed the clock driver to MN3102 and the BBD to the low current version of the same circuit, the MN3205 (PCB markings: ET5214-510A and ET5214-510B). The MN3205 is a little noisier, but it generates less distortion (only 0.8% compared to 1% for the MN3005).

ICs, transistors and diodes used in the Boss DM-2 Delay:

IC1: uPC4558C or JRC4558DD (dual operational amplifier)
IC2: NE570N (compandor IC)
IC3: MN3005 or MN3205 (4096-stage BBD)
IC4: MN3101 or MN3102 (BBD clock generator/driver)
Q1-Q4: 2SC732TM-GR (NPN silicon transistors)
Q5: 2SK30ATM-Y (N-channel JFET transistor)
Q6, Q7: 2SC945-P (NPN silicon transistors)
D1, D2, D5: 1S2473 (switching diodes)
D3: RD5.6EB3 (5.6V Zener diode)
D4: RD11EB3 (11V Zener diode)
LED: SLP 135B (red LED)

The Boss DM-2 analog delay pedal was sold from 1981 to 1984 and is still sought after thanks to its warm, natural sound. Produces a delay time ranging from 20 to 300 milliseconds, and has 3 knobs (Repeat Rate, Intensity and Echo).

Boss CE-2 chorus pedal

2011-04-28T23:36:00.000-07:00

Boss CE-2 chorus pedal

2 Control Knobs: Rate and Depth
Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor
Input Impedance: 470kOhm
Signal/Noise Ratio: more than 90dB (IHF-A)
Output Load Impedance: over 10kOhm

Current Draw: 9 mA (DC 9V)
Weight: 400 grams (0.88 lbs.)
Dimensions(mm): 70(W) x 55(H) x 125(D)

The circuit is designed around the MN3007 1024 stage BBD (IC3) and the MN3101 clock driver (IC4). The input and output circuits use a uPC4558C IC while the LFO is made with the help of a TL022LP op-amp IC.

ICs, transistors and diodes used in the Boss CE-2 chorus:

D1, D2, D4, D5 and D8: 1S2473 or 1S1588 (switching diodes)
D3: 1S2473 (replaced with a wire jumper in newer models)
D6: RD5.1EB (5.1V Zener diode)
D7: RD11EB (11V Zener diode)

Q4-Q8: 2SC945-P (NPN silicon transistors)
Q9: 2SK30A-Y (Silicon N-channel junction field effect transistor)
LED diode: SLP-135B

Adjustment procedure:

Turn the Rate knob fully counterclockwise (min.) and the Depth knob fully clockwise (max.). Feed a 200Hz, +3dBm sine signal into the input. Connect an oscilloscope to the emitter of Q3 and turn VR3 until you'll get a centered operating point (a symmetrical sine wave, equally clipped at top and bottom).

The Boss CE-2 is a great analog chorus pedal from the late 70s and early 80s.
the marketing of the CE-2 was stopped in November 1982, but the pedal was still produced and sold at least until 1990. Even though it's no longer in production there are thousands of these pedals being used by guitarists all over the world -- it's one of the more sought after Boss pedals on the used market.

Current Draw: 4 mA (DC 9V)
Width: 70mm
Depth: 125mm
Height: 55mm
Weight: 0.4kg (15 oz.)

ICs, transistors and diodes used in the SD-1 Super OverDrive:

IC: uPC4558C (dual operational amplifier)
Q1, Q2: 2SK30ATM-Y (Silicon N-channel JFET transistors)
Q3, Q4: 2SC945-P (NPN silicon transistors)
Q5, Q6: 2SC732TM-GR (NPN silicon transistors)

D2: RD5.1EB-3 (5.1V 500mW Zener diode)
D3-D8: 1S2473 (switching diodes)

The Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive is a pedal with a simple design, using only one dual operational amplifier (uPC4558C) and 6 transistors, with an asymmetric overdrive circuitry for a classic, natural tube amp growl. It generates the warm distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier while maintaining the subtle nuances of a guitar player's picking technique.

The schematic is nearly identical to the classic OD-1 OverDrive, the only major difference is the tone control circuit. The design is simple and easy to follow: the guitar signal is buffered with Q5 and enters the first half of the uPC4558C dual operational amplifier. There are 3 silicon diodes in the negative feedback path of the op-amp. Two diodes are in one direction and only one in the other. This arrangement produces asymmetrical soft clipping -- one side of the waveform is clipped more severely than the other. The tone corrector and level control circuits are next. The signal finally exits the circuit after the output buffer made with Q6. The bypass circuit uses a classic arrangement with 2 JFETs (Q1 and Q2) serving as solid-state switches and a symmetrical bistable multivibrator made with Q3 and Q4.

The original OD-1 OverDrive was made with the RC3403ADB op-amp IC. Some early pedals from 1978 used a NEC uPC4741C quad operational amplifier.

Later models used different versions of the 4558 8-pin dual op-amp: NJM4558D, uPC4558C, uPC4558C, TL4558P, JRC4558D, JRC4558DD, JRC4558DC and C4558C.

Boss OD-1 OverDrive was one of BOSS' first compact effects pedals, and offered a number of new features including silent FET switching to eliminate pops and clicks, rubber panels on top and bottom, quick-access battery compartment and recessed knobs. The OD-1 was first sold in 1977 and was discontinued in 1985. The pedal was very popular, thanks to its smooth responsive overdrive tones that guitarists couldn't resist. The OD-2 and SD-1 took over from the OD-1 later, but many guitar players still use this effect because of its pure sound. The OD-1 (like the OD-2 and SD-1) uses asymmetrical clipping, for a smoother, warmer, less edgy distorsion effect.
