Added VB1a to the OD channel
Still needs tweaking but happy times indeed
Current signal path is:
IC34a > Gain Control > IC19a > IC19b > VB1a > VB2a > VB2b > IC12c > IC18a

Re: Marshall JMP-1 Preamp mods?
Changed all resistors of the Marshall side preset tone stack to pots. Getting much better sounds. Will see over time if I'll settle on a one setting, if so, I'll preset it. p.s. if you'll do as I did and remove IC12a completely, change C86 to lower value (22n is a classic) AND a must is to add a gri...

Re: Marshall JMP-1 pre tube voltages
Mine reads 150VDC
Its weird cause it is a 115/230 machine and our local net is 235VAC.
What worries me is that heaters are at 11VDC, which is lower from what the schematic shows (12VDC unregulated, which by it self is on the low side).

Re: Ibanez DE-7 mods thread
Thanks a lot for the detailed mods!!! Where did you cut the signal to insert a repeats external loop (send/return)? is it simply a wire in/out to the stereo jack or did you add some resistance/caps or something? Do you have any tip on how and where is best to make a lows/bass rolloff mod? this is a ...

Re: PEavey Deuce | in half?
Sorry mate, but half power won't give you any percived output change. And by pulling two tubes you'll change the amp's sound for sure. Just to give you a measure, you'll need one tenth the power to get a real - in your ears - half volume :blackeye In your case we're talking about 12W output... which...

I think I see where the issue (for me) is.

Yea I saw that the fet needs to have some specific parameters, but why the *positive* bias of the gate/grid? They put the fet at saturation from the begining which brings up three questions un answerd: 1. why when you positive bias a fet (saturation, above the source) it soft clips the signal just l...

Thanks Borislav, this one is more readable.
And yes, MMF simply means pF.
Btw, this schematic is not exactly like the non negative one even though they both are marked as version 3.3
Wonder why...
