yes, the crappy treble response, and bass acting like a volume is easily fixed by moving that one connection, I actually had to do that on the first one I built and it works great. As for the funny voltages on the mosfet, dunno, maybe it's in backwards or your bias resistors are the wrong value.

some mosfets have different pinouts.

Thank you all for your kindness and help!!!
What I did, following your advices:
1. I modified the tone section as you said and now the tonestack works OK
2. I checked the pinout of the 2N7000 for 3 times (I tested the internal diode between S and D) and it's OK
3. I've tested 5 new 2N7000 and all had the same biasing problem.
4. I've checked the pinout of all 2N7000 using the internal diode between D ans S
Anyway, I will recheck all the resistors tonight.
Best regards!

Here's some pics of the one I just finished for a friend (after correcting the tone stack boo boo).

Woow...very nice work KindaFuzzy
I hope that I will have soon some time to try to debug mine

What a freaking cool design, and clean build. Props!
We've done it a few different ways, but right now we're keeping it simple. Break the circuit after the 10k on the input and after the 100K just before the gain pot and wire a dpdt to bypass/add the first stage.neoflox wrote:Anyone got an idea about the low gain mod? (talkabout)

Hey, Neoflox, did you build this with the vero layout you made?

No difference, all ground points should be connected.

I made the low gain mod with a 3pdt footswitch .the only problem is that i have the usual POP sound when i turn it on/off.any suggestions?

Here's my stripboard layout, plus RNFR's schematic with the fix. As you can probably guess, i didn't read the entire thread and drew the first version of the layout with tonestack pushing the output from bass pot's lug 2. Made a crude fix on my build, so the layout posted on this post isn't verified yet.

Hey guys built the vero and everything works but only problem is I'm only getting 1.67 volts on the source of the mosfets. Otherwise all my other voltages match. So the gain seems a little less than the videos I've seen. I'm assuming but maybe I'm wrong this is why. I've used a ton of different 2n7000 and bs170's. My question is would playing with the source resistor change the bias. I would just do it but I'm out of town away from the build and want a game plane when I get back, I've never really messed around with biasing mosfets. Thanks mike

So the layout could then be called verified - Thanks man!
My own board has at least as much gain as the demos of the original unit, so your problem could be somewhere else too. My board has also a crude fix for the tone stack's output, so it's not 1:1 with the current layout.
But. If you want, you could try to tweak the 10K resistors from MOSFET sources to ground. Smalles value should give out more gain. You could just try placing some bigger value resistors in parallel to them to see if that works.
