Setting bias trimmers

Turn the trimmers so that the drain ("D" pad) of the JFETs measure 4.5V with a multimeter (red probe to

"D" pad and black probe to ground). This is just a guideline, though—you can tweak the trimmers a bit to

fine-tune the circuit to your liking. The bias affects the total gain of the circuit, so you can make it a little

cleaner or a little dirtier than stock.

J201 usage

The J201 transistor is very popular in DIY pedal designs, but was discontinued in TO-92 through-hole

format several years ago and is becoming very scarce. Genuine parts are getting expensive and many

counterfeits have entered the market.

The MMBFJ201 is a SMD version that is still in production. On the PCB, two outlines have been included

for each individual JFET, one for TO-92 and one for SMD (called SOT-23) right next to it. Make sure you

only use one or the other—don't put both a through-hole and surface mount part in the two Q1 spots.

J201 adapters

Many DIY builders are intimidated by the small size of surface-mount parts. Aion FX offers

pre-soldered

J201s on adapters

so they can easily be used as through-hole parts.
