@@Lantertronics Thank you again!! It's really nice to hear encouraging comments, and definitely makes it worth the effort put in to making these videos!
I feel like with 9v it sounds "colder" and grittier, and with 18v sounds a little bit "warmer" and cleaner, i hear that specially on the highs. Thanks for this video it's very cool to hear these experiments.
Hi Patrik! Thanks for watching! You can also make a similar charge pump using the 555 timer chip! But, this is definitely the easiest and used the least components.
Seemed to me like on clean the 18V was cleaner and chimed more but on overdrive the 18V mudded up and sounded like a blanket had been thrown over the tone. So need two pedals. One to run 9v for distortion/overdrive and one 18V for cleans.
Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your impressions! Yes, 18v was definitely more clean and open without the diodes, two pedals is always better than one! 🤣
Thanks for watching! The simplest way would be to put a clean boost pedal after it. But, some fuzz will change its tone slightly if there is a buffer after it.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the higher voltage increases the "headroom" of the op amp, so it doesn't clip/distort as easily. This makes it sound cleaner and louder with 18 volts.
Yo Arito!!! Hey you DO know CE Distribution do mini PCB for these? I just got 2 to play with, when you put this up :) psychic ! The KLON uses high voltage on the later stages, right? I've penciled the thing into a few points in my own pedals - the LT1044 / ICL7660S is the superior part (bit lower Z power, and can run at a higher freq (as 20khz could leak or intermod into the audio), just join pin 1 to +ve .. and the 1054 sources a way more current .. OK now let's see what youre doing :)
Hey Pete! Cool coincidence! I'd never heard of CE Distribution, did a quick search and looks like they have a bunch of cool stuff, let me know how your project goes! Yes, the Klon uses the 18v with the -9v in the summing op amp and tone knob, a clever way to keep those later op amp stages from clipping.

Waaaay less perceptible than I would have thought, very interesting. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the video! Yes, 18 volts doesn't add a huge amount of headroom.
I love how thorough you are!
Thank you so much Professor! I really appreciate your kind comments and support!
A musician with legit electronics chops - my deepest respect.
Totally agreed -- Arito deserves much more attention than he's getting.
Thank you so much! I don't know if I deserve such a compliment, but I really appreciate the kind words!

Another excellent video. Thanks
Thanks again for the kind words!! I really appreciate it!
Thank you Arito for this vid. I have had this thought for a long time how to increse the voltage without using a buck booster!

Any advice on getting a fuzz pedal louder?

It gets cleaner?

@@petegaslondon Thanks for the info! Shipping costs might be an issue ordering from overseas, but I'll definitely look into it!
Almost no differences
