Modding a Condor Cab Sim to be close to Black Widow?

Hey all, this is all that's holding me up on 2 projects. Basically, I was wondering if someone would like to sim this for me? I don't know how to run the sim stuff (I'm using gEDA). It should be close to the specs of a 18" BW, the yellow line:






HERE'S THE .SCH FILE (I only use it for drawing schems, but if you can use it...)

Also, if anyone has any ideas how to create the shelf between 5-10k without adding anymore active components, awesome... otherwise, I don't really know if it will make much difference in sound.

Thanks a bunch for any help with this!

Here you go



I assumed the output cap was supposed to be 1uF not 1n, if that's wrong let me know and I'll rerun it, or if you want anything else tweaking.
This is from LTSpice, like you I use gEDA for drawing schematics but not for simulations. I did give it a try once but it seemed much too complicated compared with LTSpice.

OT: hey, you two. i haven't forgotten nor abandoned the synfuzzsizer project - still on the breadboard, just on the back burner for the now whilst i deal with some real life stuff - i'll be resurrecting the thread shortly if all goes well, if you're still interested.

Hey, thanks a bunch, Slacker... you use Linux by chance? I've tried a couple sims from the Conical library, but haven't had much luck. I don't remember seeing LTSpice in there, though, so I figured I'd ask. Actually, the output cap was supposed to be 22u, lol... I forgot to change it.

I really don't like that hump at the lower end. I'll have to go back and check my notes against the schem.

@artifus: sweet... I ended up getting sidetracked on that project about 3 times. I get something plugged in, it makes a strange noise, and I go tweaking and end up with something completely different, lol. I've been keeping notes on ideas, though.

Yeah, long time Slackware user, that's where my user name comes from. LTSpice is a free Windows program, but it runs fine using Wine.

Artifus, yeah still interested, still got the input thing on the breadboard.

Ok, it's been over a year since I've played around with this, lol. I've been out of the game for long enough, I would love someone to check this over before I decide to put to hardware form and hopefully avoid wasting my time and parts. Also, would this be (if it performs as the sim) a close match to the original curves for DI use?

So, here's the LTSpice file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75809127/Draft1.asc

And the screenshot of the sim'ed output:
