January 1, 2023 · 1 sources

GuitarPCB released the 2023 version of its Aeon Drive PCB in January 2023. The board is a do-it-yourself circuit for building a pedal, and the maker says it is based on the Lovepedal Eternity circuit.

The maker lists three changes in the 2023 release: a 1N5817 circuit protection diode, extra 9v and ground pads "for convenient wiring in combo builds or mods," and on-board potentiometers. The board measures 2.05 inches by 1.25 inches.

The parts list specifies a B500k gain pot, a B5k tone pot and an A500k volume pot, with a 4558 or TL072 op-amp and 1N914 or 1N4148 diodes in positions D1 through D4. The maker notes that pin-compatible op-amps such as the TL072, NE5532 and NE4558 can be substituted, and that a socket allows trying different op-amps. For the diodes, the maker lists 1N4148, 1N914, LED, germanium or combinations. A status LED position accepts either a bi-color common anode or a standard on/off LED.
