FraVerb (FV1)

Rev.1.Apr.23.2008

Layout for FV-1 digital processor IC by www.spinsemi.com which includes onboard effects like reverb, chorus, pitch shift,
etc. The layout features the application circuit from the datasheet plus extra circuitry to make it more compatible with
electric guitars and pedalboards: FET buffered inputs, 3.3v regulator and filter capacitors to provide the required power.
According to datasheet, presets and effects of any kind can be created by using an external EEPROM, pads are provided
for this purpose. Offboard wiring except for the potentiometers are not shown on the layout, view offboard wiring project for
ideas on how to connect power and bypass. Visit www.tonepad.com for more!

FV1 can use an external memory for custom programmed

algorithms to create digital effects, refer to the datasheet
for more information. Pads provided on the layout require
to solder EEPROM on copper side.

Notes:
This project uses SMD part(s) soldered to the copper side
of a single sided pcb. The rest of the parts are mounted
thru hole as they normally are. Two layout images are
provided: one looking at each side of the pcb.
