JONNY RECKLESS: Reckless Abandon

A recent request.  This is a monster of a pre-amp from Jonny Reckless.  Best to read the details on DIY stomp boxes, as there's a lot to this.

I've not built this, and there's a bit going on with it.  I'd suggest checking it against the schematic before starting.  I've looked over it a few times, but I probably won't be building this one any time soon to confirm it.

  1. the cut in the top row (8), where the 9V goes in seem to be a mistake?

  2. It's missing the 1N5817 diode across it - thank you, will fix it later today

  3. Hello! Thanks for sharing this. I have build it and it sounds great but it has a lot of noise, like oscillation noise. I don´t know if you know how to solve this :)

    1. Also, the 470nF capacitor should be a 470pF according to schematic

    2. I've never tried building this one, as it's not really for me. Oscillation can happen with high-gain circuits, unfortunately I can't tell you why yours is doing this. Sometimes internal wiring can be the issue. Thanks for pointing out the 470n
