(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) • IC5: TL022CP (dual low-power general-purpose operational amplifier) • IC6: uPC78L05 or equivalents (5V positive voltage regulator) • Q1, Q2, Q3: 2SC732TM-GR (NPN silicon transistor) • Q4: 2SK30A-Y (Silicon N-channel junction field effect transistor) • Q5: 2SA733-P (PNP silicon transistor) • Q6-Q11: 2SC945-P (NPN silicon transistor) • D1: RD11EB-3 (11V 500mW Zener diode) • D2: RD5.1EB-3 (5.1V 500mW Zener diode) • D3-D10: 1S2473 or 1S1588 or DS442 (switching diodes) 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.
