1/2V reference voltage. The Taranis is a direct adaptation of the Thunderclaw with no modifications or added features. We have included a zener diode for over-voltage protection as well as some extra power filtering for the ICs, but otherwise it is faithful to the original circuit. -

C13-C16 are local bypass capacitors for each of the ICs. The original unit also did not have these capacitors, but we had extra space on the PCB so we included them. They are optional, but help provide a more theoretically stable power supply, whether or not they makes any difference in practice. TARANIS DYNAMIC DISTORTION... -
