Hi!
Last week I start playing with FET, I build a simple Tremolo for my guitar, with a 2n3819, which I bought a long time ago for another project.
It works quite well, and so I would like to learn more about fet design.
So I search on this forum, found a lot of interesting threads and links.
Now I would like to understand it more, and so I order some J201 from ebay to start plating with. I chosse those one because I had to buy some 1n4148 and the guy also sells j201.
I read borbelyaudio pdf, which is very easy to understand, and start to look at j201 datasheet and look for schematic with google.
I found this schematic :

But here there's something I don't understand :
the Rs resistor here is 2.2k, but when I read borbely pdf, for choosing Rs value, with the transfert characteristic of the j201, I get value between 100 and 200ohm... I don't understand why on the schematic above it's 2.2k?? is there something I miss here?
And my second question, maybe hard to understand : How to choose fet?
I will add a fet switching to my current tremolo, but it can be great if I can also add fet in audio signal (I use simple opamp buffer by now).
Well, I hope someone can help me
Thank you!
