Sorry I have nothing - how did you like the Sweet - I have seen the schem and gutshots - looks like another BMP derivative - but better made :wink:

Was reading about Frantone what little there is to be found expect the website frantone.com. Seems to be above the general boutique crap and with a longer history then most. Like 1994 and that's before the web craze.

Read she also uses the relais switching.

If any of the Frantone schematics are available, please post link. Maybe's it's in an obvious place, but it's a small effort.

thanks!

There is some confusing discussion on Diy about the Germanium Muff PI, and there is the suggestion that this is just a Muff with Ge diodes in the clipping section.
