Chorus Circuit




Specifications:

- 2 Control Knobs: Rate and Depth
- Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor
- Input Impedance: 470kOhm
- Signal/Noise Ratio: more than 90dB (IHF-A)
- Output Load Impedance: over 10kOhm
- Maximum Allowable input: 0dBm(100Hz), -10dBm(1kHz)
- Recommended AC Adaptor: ACA Series
- Current Draw: 9 mA (DC 9V)
- Weight: 400 grams (0.88 lbs.)
- Dimensions(mm): 70(W) x 55(H) x 125(D)

The circuit is designed around the MN3007 1024 stage BBD (IC3) and the MN3101 clock driver (IC4). The input and output circuits use a uPC4558C IC while the LFO is made with the help of a TL022LP op-amp IC.

Other active components:

D1, D2, D4, D5 and D8: 1S2473 or 1S1588 (switching diodes)
D3: 1S2473 (replaced with a wire jumper in newer models)
D6: RD5.1EB (5.1V Zener diode)
D7: RD11EB (11V Zener diode)
Q1-Q3: 2SC732TM-GR (NPN silicon transistors)
Q4-Q8: 2SC945-P (NPN silicon transistors)
Q9: 2SK30A-Y (Silicon N-channel junction field effect transistor)
LED diode: SLP-135B

Adjustment procedure:

Turn the Rate knob fully counterclockwise (min.) and the Depth knob fully clockwise (max.). Feed a 200Hz, +3dBm sine signal into the input. Connect an oscilloscope to the emitter of Q3 and turn VR3 until you'll get a centered operating point (a symmetrical sine wave, equally clipped at top and bottom).

  • Dimensions: 70(W) x 55(H) x 125(D) mm. (2.8" x 2.2" x 4.9")

ICs, transistors and diodes used in the Boss BF-2:

  • IC1, IC2: uPC4558C (dual operational amplifier)
  • IC3: MN3207 (1024 stage BBD)
  • IC4: MN3102 (BBD driver)

Adjustment procedure:

1.) Clock frequency adjustment:
Set MANUAL and DEPTH knobs to full counterclockwise. Connect an oscilloscope to TP-1 test point. Adjust VR7 for T=25us (40kHz). Rotate the MANUAL knob fully clockwise. T should be 2uS +/-20%.

2.) BBD bias:
Set DEPTH and RES. knobs full counterclockwise. Feed a 200Hz, sine wave, 0dBm signal into the INPUT jack. Connect the oscilloscope to Q3's emitter. While turning MANUAL across its entire rotation range, set VR6 for a clip-free waveform at the peaks.

3.) Resonance:
Set MANUAL, DEPTH knobs full counterclockwise and RES. knob full clockwise. Plug short circuit into INPUT jack. Connect OUTPUT jack to an amplifier and speaker. While touching a screwdriver to TP-2, set VR5 to the point where oscillation begins.
