Vocal Adaptor for Bass Guitar Amp

Image
These days, music is a major hobby for the young and not-so-young. Lots of people enjoy making music, and more and  more dream of showing off their talents on  stage. But one of the major problems often encountered is the cost of musical equipment. How many amateur music groups sing through an amp borrowed from a guitarist or bass player?  This is where the technical problems arise not in terms of the .25” (6.3 mm)  jack, but in terms of the sound quality (the words are barely understandable) and volume (the amp seems to produce fewer decibels than for a guitar). What’s more, unpredictable feedback may cause damage to the speakers and is very unpleasant on the ear. This cheap little easy-to-build project can help solve these technical problems. A guitar (or bass guitar) amplifier is designed first and foremost to reproduce the sound of the guitar or bass as faithfully as possible. The frequency response of the amp doesn’t need to be as wide or as flat as in hi-fi (p...

OP AMP INTEGRATOR CIRCUIT DESIGN AND WORKING

The OP AMP Integrator , is a circuit which performs the integration of an input signal. The output of an integrator will be the mathematical integral value of continuous input signal. Such a circuit is obtained by using a basic inverting amplifier configuration if the feedback resistor Rf is replaced by a capacitor Cf. V o = -1/R 1 C F  ∫ 0 T (Vin dt + C) The above equation shows that the output voltage is directly proportional to the negative integral of input voltage and inversely proportional to the time constant R1Cf.

In the world of electronics, vacuum tubes are almost obsolete. Nearly the last holdout, the cathode ray tube (CRT), is rapidly being replaced by the LCD and other new technologies. Despite this trend, the vacuum tube has seen a big revival in the field of guitar amplifiers, and to a lesser extent, hi-fi amplifiers . Vacuum tubes and related parts have become more readily available in recent years as numerous companies have tapped into this market. The reason for the popularity of tubes in guitar amps involves the nice tones that are produced when tubes are driven to the point of distortion. For some background on this, follow some of the links on The Strat Monger. There are numerous solid state "modeling amps" that try to simulate vacuum tube amps with digital signal processing (DSP) techniques, but in the end, that method is never more than a simulation. It just ain't the same as the real thing. One can spend a large amount of money and time building a tube amp from scra...

LF353 Pre Amp Circuit diagram

Image
This is the same scheme as the one shown Asymmetric Pre amp, but may seem more simple due to the disappearance of some components. Virtual ground With power of symmetrical type, we do not need the virtual ground, and components that were working for this function have no purpose. Output coupling capacitors? A priori, we should not need coupling capacitors in the signal AF output of the preamplifier, since the resting voltage (no audio signal at the input) is close to 0V continuously. However, I leave to you to decide whether or not to implement them, knowing that the value of the voltage may be present output depends on the op amp used.

8 Amp Regulated Power Supply circuit Diagram

Image
This power supply is powered by a transformer operating from 120 Vac on the primary and providing proximately 20 Vac on the primary, and providing approximately 20 Vac on the secondary. Four 10-A diodes with a 100 PIV rating are used in a full-wave bridge rectifier.  8-Amp Regulated Power Supply Circuit Diagram A 10,000 ^F/36 Vdc capacitor completes the filtering, providing 28 Vdc. The dc voltage is fed to the collectors of the Darlington connected 2N3055's. Base drive for the pass transistors is from pin 10 of the µ723 through a 200 ohm current limiting resistor, Rl. The reference terminal (pin 6) is tied directly to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier (pin 5), providing 7.15 V for comparison. The inverting input to the error amplifier (pin 4) is fed from the center arm of a 10 k ohm potentiometer connected across the output of the supply. This control is set for the desired output voltage of 13.8 V. Compensation of the error amplifier is accomplished with a 500 pF capa...

Make a 25 Amp Solar Battery Charger Power Supply Circuit

Image
This circuit is capable of providing as high as 25 Amps of current at any specified voltage between 1.25 V to 30V as per the adjustment of the given pot. The current is constant irrespective of the voltage settings. The circuit can be used for charging batteries in range of 50 to 200 AH. The figure below shows a straightforward design of a 25 amp solar battery charger power supply circuit which would generate a constant 25 amps of current from any source which is able to generate currents in excess of 25 amps and at 32 volts maximum. We know that the IC LM338 is specified with a maximum of 5 amp current, the IC restricts anything above this limit. By connecting 5 of these ICs in parallel it thus becomes possible to generate a current output of about 25 amps. The great thing about using these ICs is that, these devices are internally protected from thermal runaway situations and short circuit or overload conditions. It means the present circuit automatically becomes safe from s...
