Hi Everyone,
Several months ago, Kris and other members had been advising me on a project. It was intended to be a guitar effect with distortion and variable stuttering effect.The original circuit used an lm386 for the amplification/distortion, and an lm555 to achieve the stutter (oscillation?).Reference thread "Translate stripboard layout to schematic diagram". The general concensus was that the 386/555 combo had serious shortcomings. Most notably, timer noise leaking from the 555 into the output. Kris had suggested using the lm13700 dual op-amp to achieve both effects with one component. After Kris' untimely passing, I put the project aside,not feeling able to continue. Now I feel I owe it to Kris to finish it.
My problem is after pouring over the 13700's data sheet, I find it very confusing, given my non-existent experience with op-amps. I am hoping that someone in this forum might have a schematic for such a circuit that a newbie like myself could understand. Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.
Again, RIP Kris. You are greatly missed.
