- Introduction: After reading the earlier renditions of schematics
- for the Pearl Box, I decided that there was an
- easier and cheaper way of doing the same thing
- with an IC and parts you probably have just laying
- around the house.
-
-
- What Is A Pearl Box and Why Do I Want One?
-
- A Pearl Box is a tone generating device that is used to make
- a wide range of single tones. Therefore, it would be very
- easy to modify this basic design to make a Blue Box by
- making 2 Pearl Boxes and joining them together in some
- fashion.
-
- A Pearl Box can be used to create any tone you wish that
- other boxes may not. It also has a tone sweep option that
- can be used for numerous things like detecting different
- types of phone tapping devices.
-
-
- Parts List:
-
- CD4049 RCA integrated circuit
- .1 uF disk capacitor
- 1 uF 16V electrolitic capacitor
- 1K resistor
- 10M resistor
- 1meg pot
- 1N914 diode
- Some SPST momentary push-button switches
- 1 SPDT toggle switch
- 9 Volt battery & clip
- and miscellaneous stuff you should have laying around the house.

- Explanation:
-
- The 2 wires that lead from the main part of the circuit
- should be connected to the center poles on the toggle
- switch. Put the 2 wires to the pot on one side and the 2
- wires going to the push-buttons to the other side. That way
- you can switch between tone sweep and the favorite tones you
- like (the push-button side).
-
- To keep tones that you want to use frequently like 1850 Hz
- then all you have to do is put in a variable resistor and
- adjust it to where you have the correct tone, then just put
- a push-button switch on the line. You can link them
- together in a chain, etc. There are many other good
- modifications to make to the box so have fun and be smart.
