Update: Since it's been a while, I thought that it was about time I posted an update, so here we go..... About a fortnight or so ago, I managed to buy a second hand Ashton GQ-100 8 Ohm 200W 4 X 12 quad box from my local Cash Converters shop, last week I did some work on the Fender Super Twin amp, w...

A shame. I still have some PMs in my inbox talking to him.

A cool guy.

Hail brother!

Generic username, 3 posts. Surely doesn't know how things used to be 10-15 years ago. Or knows, but it's somebody that created a fake user to just cause discord. I do remember all the "hail Zvex" stuff, all the "you posted my schematic, remove it" stuff and the "we are forbidden of talking about Zv...

I haven’t posted here in years and I’m just browsing to see what’s new. I remember back in 2006 I modded my FF to get rid of the thinness and add some bass to it. I used 10µ input and output. I saw people were hesitant to mod theirs but over the years a few people did and then Vzex decides to make ...

lol, 11 knobs. Sounds like fun times!


The Marshall type tonestack goes well in the BMP and associated circuits. There’s a schematic for a few variations floating around the interwebz.

Except the output will be from the center volume lug,not the PCB.

Viruses make me angry too! In 4 years I had two major ones on my laptop, luckily I was able to remove both. Then last week my laptop backlight went so I was in the market for a new one (i was using an external monitor for a week or so but I needed a new PC anyways), only problem is I had no cash for...

5kB is just fine!

CN1= where they hook it up to a computer and feed it information so it will work.

Thanks for the info. I'll ask if he'll ship to OZ,if not I'm sure one of my interwebz friends will be my middle man for me.

I'm in Australia and need to find a source for colored copperclad as I cant stand the regular green shit. Anyone know where I can get some? It doesn't matter where the store is so long as they ship here. I dont just need to buy a few boards, I want to buy it in semi-bulk lots. I have some blue and w...

Yes I says mistakes , some of them are 0.47 (not 4u7). My bad. But still, that version doesn't sound good to me, too much bass . Since I transformed it (I started with adding a midboost (ala Gilmour) in the tonestack , then I changed all cap values for the 100n and 22n with diodes) I like it ! (it ...

All caps are NOT higher than 1uF, some are .47uF electros not 4.7uF. and thers TWO 2.2uF electro in it. Most caps are 1uF. In the diode clipping section stage 2 is 1uF then stage 3 is 2.2uF. And the way that woks in these two stages is the bigger the value the less boom. If you put 10nF in there it ...

Prolly a reason why it wont gate the synth, I dont knwo why. Prolly works fine with guitar if its gating mp3's

Dunno, but the pinch should still gate the sound.

Thanks Bumblebee, good to know. I'll check eVilbay... Next question, I just got the 'Sabertooth' PCB from Madbean. I finished populating the board, now, how does one wire the four pots and everything else with the board? Or is this a standardized process, one in which I should know - or is it layou...

Q2's hFE is likely too high, it needs to be 200 or less for the pinch to work.

How do you measure hFE? With a digital multi meter!
What is hFE? google it for more details! But basically its the amount of gain a transistor has.
