Thanks again. I watched the video last night. I think I understood half of it...which is good for me. He kind of lost me when he began talking about virtual ground, but I did get the concept that it happens during the non inverting loop.
I think i now know how to create a buffer loop. It involves connecting the output to the inverting input. So I now understand why Martin suggested I connect Pin 6 to 7. (Inverting input of the second op amp to the out of the second op amp).
Now, i'll admit, I don't know the function of a buffer loop. Is the function simply to keep the second op amp "busy" so that it does not create noise or issues? Or, does the buffer serve a particular purpose beyond that? The video did not say.
Bertus- thank-you. Why is Vref, in this case, the the point between R32 and R33? (I feel like a 2 year old asking the why questions, but that's how I am learning. ;-)
Thanks to all. I don;t see any reason why I should not try this on a PCB now. I plan tpo use a socket for the op amp, so I can easily switch it out if one becomes damaged. As I mentioned , I've got about 100 of the 4588Ds.
The reason why i'd like to proceed, is because I noticed that on the breadboard, even touching a part of it causes other jumpers to move within their holes, and produces noise, shorts etc. I'd like to hear this circuit in a "solid" state. I plan to reintroduce the tone control too. you will recall we took it out,m when I was encountering issues. We now know it was a bad op amp.
