Hi, I'm building a bass guitar preamp and am starting with the input and output stages. I have a pair of op amps on a single 1455 IC, both unity-gain followers. The circuit is powered by a split power supply. There are 0.1 caps on +V to GND and -V and GND. After about 90 seconds of playing or not playing, a repeating sound gets increasingly loader. You can hear it in the attached link to a WAV file. I'm on US power. https://www.bekwam.net/audio/simple_audio_buffer_noise.wav I was wondering if someone could help me identify the problem. I killed the lights and extra gear besides the power supply and amp. Thanks, Carl |

Where's your DC bias? The first amp is floating completely. |

The circuit is no preamp. With the feedback as shown, you have two unity gain stages in series. In addition to the lack of bias. |

For the first stage, should I put a resistor to GND. If so, what's a good value? I was confused because most of the schematics I read that had a bias were single supply and needed to account for the negative input. |
