Basic Voltage-Controlled Amplifier

Posted on September 1, 2017September 1, 2017 by abram

I’ve been looking at the theoretical principles that govern the voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) recently and came across some simple VCA designs that caught my attention. A common technique involves a JFET and an opamp to achieve VCA type operation by using the JFET as a voltage-controlled resistor somewhere in the input path. I’ve seen a…

PT2399 with BJT preamp

here’s a short clip of the delay circuit that i intend to convert to a stomp box. i’m still working out the kinks in the pre-amp stage to solidify the input signal from the guitar though. just a sample though to hear how it might sound with some guitar tones. more soon.
