What is that?

Cheers.

Its an overdrive schematic.

Cool, I take it where you show -9 volts you really mean ground/0 volts?

Really, never thought of that?

Can you describe it in more detail? It would be simple, for discussion sake,  if you put down the schematic instead of the PCB.

Cheers.

I certainly hope so, otherwise this is like a burst box with one wire missing.

I'm glad someone else used the same dodgy shorthand and was called on it before me lol, I would have drawn that with the same incorrect 9v- instead of GND.

I can see multiple gain stage Q's, one of which is driving a second clipping section in the saturation... am I seeing the first asymmetrical section cascade into a tighter symetrical section there with the saturation stage basically being a drive control onto the second gain/clip stage?

Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm just guessing a little.

[Striker Amplification]

Yes thats right, the more MV drive stage Q1 produces the more compressed Q2 becomes, then carried on so forth to Q3 where it gets its final texture makeup.

Hahah - love the idea mate  ;

Scary that I'm starting to understand this from schem/layout.

T :icon_cool:hat can only be good though!

I wish this would sound good. Better than 5th Gear Overdrive


And this is a little more challenge to me.. Hahaha time to level up my skills.

P.S this is on my next on my list

Nice man! give it a shot ........ya just might like what you get

[pinkjimiphoton]

man, you must have great luck with them nte47's, all the ones i'd bought were way over priced and so low gain as to be unusable... when not so leaky they were unusable!!

lol I am really enjoying reading your threads TS!
