Re: DOD FX100 Integrated Tube Overdrive [schematic]

This is the final version with first gain stage and output buffer changed for lower noise level. I also added Warp control (10k in the schematics, but lower value like 5k also will be good)- for smooth transition between FX100 and FX101; and Mid Control. Pawel... I like the idea of the Warp control...

Re: Seen on Ebay K-O-T pfffttttt

I certainly like mic's rationale for what he charges. Makes a lot of sense, especially if there's a "love of the game" aspect to what he designs and builds. At the same time, I can't fault a boutique builderr for charging a premium for their gear, either. Is a KoT really worth $400? Well, ...

Re: Dunlop JBF-3 Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face [schematic]

Did we lose some posts in the forum move? I think I had posted an answer to a question a few days before FSB went offline, but I don't see it now.

Glad to see the thread has generated some interest, though. :thumbsup

Re: general questions re my first adventure in high voltage.

Steve As I said it was along time ago and I had probably had a couple of scotches when I wrote it so there is every possibility that I have AC and DC mixed up. The important thing is don't touch either. I am left handed, well I was but soon learned to wield a meter or scope probe, trim tool etc wit...

Re: DOD FX100 Integrated Tube Overdrive [schematic]

Hey Steve, thanks for checking out my rantings, I'm loving the schematics. Thanks very much for taking the time to draw it out! I've had a strange liking for DOD pedals ever since I owned one of the American Metal pedals in the early 90s. I just have to build this one though! Thanks again Andy. I a...

Re: DOD FX100 Integrated Tube Overdrive [schematic]

As an added bonus, I found a little more info about the FX101 over at the "America's Pedal" site: FX101 Grind Rectifying Overdrive It says that while both effects use the same board, "R27, R32, R47, C17, C19, and Q7 are missing in the FX101." Combined with what we know about D6, ...

Re: DOD FX100 Integrated Tube Overdrive [schematic]

UPDATE: Andy was right on the money. R51 sits in D7's slot on the FX100. It is a 1k resistor.

The schematic I posted above was correct, but I have removed D6 and D7 to avoid confusion (mostly, mine :lol: ). Here's the updated version...

Re: "String Dampener" circuit

Seemed like a neat idea but no idea how it would sound or even work once assembled. A "String Dampener" effect is the principle behind the ISP Decimator, if I remember correctly. I think it's supposed to even out the sound of the "G" string specifically (I believe?). Perhaps som...

Re: DOD FX100 Integrated Tube Overdrive [schematic]

Hi there, I don't want to sound dumb here, but I was looking at the component side photos on another website of the FX100 and the FX101, and where D7 is removed on the FX100 board, there seems to be a resistor in it's place, looks like 1k. In the diagram here, R51 looks like this same resistor so I...

Dumble, anybody?

Dumble Overdrive Special 1984

An all original classic, certainly... but $85k? :shock:

I guess you can either have the amp... or buy a house to plug it in. :lol:

Re: Dunlop JBF-3 Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face [schematic]

I like it a lot actually. I definitely wouldn't pay $200 for it but I wouldn't pay $200 for pretty much anything short of a nice modulation or delay pedal. It actually reminds me a bit of the NKT275 Fuzz Faces I've played. The clean up is great. The construction quality is great, the looks are grea...

Re: DOD FX100 Integrated Tube Overdrive [schematic]

I almost forgot... D6 and D7 are MIA on the FX100 board, but I added their locations to the schematic in case anyone wanted to try the FX101 configuration.

Well, I got one for $99.95 shipped due to a fuck up at PGS and didn't realize it had already been reversed. :lol: Ouch. I'm hit!!! Right in the wallet. :x :lol: I paid... "slightly" more buying direct from JB's site. :slap: What did you think of it sound-wise, Matt? Cheers... Steve
