I hope that KOC wouldn't mind if someone is willing to show the power scaling schematic.
I have experimented with a G2 control,
but I believe that mr KOC and Maven Peal have better concept.

I would like to see this as well. I'm not sure if I'd ever experiment with it or not, but being able to see a schematic of it would definitely help make up my mind.

A lot of the power-scaling stuff is available in KOC's books. Supposedly everything you need to know...

BTW, if you want to check out a cool master volume idea, go to the ax84 discussion forum and search "poor-man's powerscaling". It's a dead-simple way of lowering power amp drive, yet compensating for loss of distortion at low volume and works like a charm. I implemented it on an amp I just built and like it a lot.

Oh I'm sorry, it's "Power scaling for the cheapskate"...

It's a fun read, esp all the naysayers vs. the people who actually tried it.

I can vouch for it. It works. :thumbsup
