Hi,
I have some questions about the tweed man overdrive ( from pedalpcb.com) which is a clone of the Catalinbread formula 5F6.
I have just made it and it sounds good but I wonder if it 's working the way it should.
Here are the transistors voltage:
( I put pn4393 )
Q1: D:4,7 S: 0,9 G: 0
Q2: D: 9,08 S: 5,64 G: 3
Q3: D:4,90 S: 0,83 G: 0
Q4: D: 9,08 S: 5,5 G: 3
Q5: D: 9 S: 5,2 G: 2,15
1) I noticed that when I put the gain at Max value, I have feedback like hendrix in front of his amp ! (only in the " secret lead mode" which means when the switch is up ) .
I won't need that much gain so it's ok but I wonder if it's a "normal" behaviour".
2) It seems there is not a lot of treble ( in the" stock bass mode" whereas the" secret lead" has enough of it). Is it something known with this pedal ? If no Is there a way to have more highs in the" stock bass mode" ( which means when the switch is down)?
3 ) Is it possible to have less gain only in the "secret lead mode" ? ( I have already removed the 4u7 and it sounds better to my ear in the stock mode , I don't need less gain in this mode) .
Thanks.
