See, I think the secret of vintage tube amp tone lies in the mains cable! I just swapped the cord on an Epiphone Valve Junior with a Black Rhodium Fusion and the difference is DRAMATIC: - sound is overall more focused and Hi-Fi - warm, haunting mids - fragile harmonics survive better Are you going ...

I've noticed the same thing as Bajaman, and it's a dramatic difference. I was a non-believer and used yellow Sozo caps just for the glamour gut shot, but the change in sound was just like how Bajaman described - more focused and '3D.' Now I swear by them. They've always measured within 2% on my capa...

This is very tough without know what effect this is or a look at the schematic. My guess is this is a single-transistor boost and the 1K potentiometer adjusts the resistance on the source of a FET. If that's the case, you could try replacing the potentiometer with a 5K.

Also PM'd for a PCB. Look great.

Wow man, I never saw anything like this in Jfet pedal design. My Shizzle Deluxe Fuzz/Overdrive uses this technique for the JFET input stage. In this case, the bias isn't adjustable, because it consistently gives the right biasing with these values with this transistor... You will also see this in s...

Looks entirely plausible to me. Missing the value on the source resistor on the second MuAmp.

I'm surprised how amateur that looks inside ...

Damn impressive. Epic, even. Any chance we can see inside?

TS circuit into eq gyrator stages. switch changes diodes from sym to assym. fizziness: opamp choice, layout control (believe it or not, it DOES make a difference...), and little bigger cap in first gain stage. So it seems... green TS with mod and EQ and "Wampler magic spice". Product desc...

Good point, phatt. It was kind of a pain getting it to bias correctly and I wish I'd socketed those resistors from the start. I can confirm it sounds amazing when it's set up correctly. One of the attractive things about it to be was that it doesn't require a transformer since I was trying to save s...

Here you go.

Here the corrected schematic.

Cheers to Mr. Ramble for piping in.

Great job on this. I love the plexidrive and this really gives it a run.

Yes someone just pointed out the 22n, this corrects it and shaves off a column. I've got this thing working. One other thing: The Source of Q4 needs to be grounded - meaning another cut to separate the drain of q5 & source of q4. It's a pretty good sounding effect. http://cl.ly/image/2R1b2n3K0e...

I redrew for clarity. Looks pretty reasonable. The only thing I see as weird are the parallel 220uF & 100uF caps on the source of the 'normal' j201 input.
Here's a link to the full image

I've found the MAC 'version' is really buggy, so I gave up on that.

Does this mean we might see some amplifier PCBs coming?

The Ant Driver is an SMD opamp buffer that fits in a 1/4" jack on your guitar cable. The general idea is to buffer the signal right as it comes out of the guitar to get a strong, low-impedance signal through that first run of cable. It's powered by using a mic (2-conductor) cable that takes the...

Funny. Id've sworn from listening to the demos that it would have been 4049-based.

Did you try 'mirror' and then rotate it?
