Wampler Tweed 57 DIY Clone PDF with PCB , Schematic and BOM Clone

[M23Bomber]

Hello all,

I found a lot of good reviews about the Wampler Tweed 57 . I wanted to build one but all the info was scattered around the web, finding it was almost Bond movie like, going through Russian websites in Cyrillic, french connections, south american references that involved asking "Como has echo tu  Wampler Tweed 57?Hum....Si...Si". I decided to conglomerate it all into a single PDF document that has more info than what I found such as the BOM ( Bill of Materials ) PCB transfer or layout. All verified by me and even corrected.

NOTE : Just for the DIYers Matching the FETS help...

Thanks although I don't think I'd bother fet matching. It's been on the list for years and might be on it for a while longer. I appreciate the share

The Tweed 57 sounds great, as does the Black 65. I built them on the VipFX boards (http://home.comcast.net/~gprause/). Currently using the Black 65 as a makeshift clean(ish) channel into the FX return of a 6v6-based DIY hotrodded marshall, and it sounds surprisingly good (and it gets a way better clean tone than just 'rolling back my guitar volume on the dirty channel'). I modded the Black 65 so that the gain boost is footswitchable and has a level control (so that the gain boost doesn't necessarily go from 'clean' to 'BFDR on 10' - but instead can be a more moderate boost if desired).

I had quite a few J201-based circuits to build, so I bought 50 of them and tested them all using the circuit suggested in the VipFX build docs, and sorted them all - so now when I need matched J201s I can easily grab multiples that are in the same range.

Kudos to wampler - these (and his plexi drive) are some of the most amp-like pedals I've ever heard.

BTW - anyone find a schematic for the Ace Thirty/Thirty Something?
