Dr. Boogey Gainpot

[Schappy]

The parts list for the Dr. Boogey at gaussmarkovs site lists 500KA or 1MA gain pot.


Is there one that most people use?

[John Lyons]

500KA should be fine. I've used 1M though.

500KA should be fine. I've used 1M though.

Does the 500KA work the same as the 1M. Any difference in gain.

[John Lyons]

The DB has more gain that the dual rectifier does.
Soldano SLO 100 uses 500K I don't think there is much difference
in gain with 500K vs 1M but it will be more stable I'd say.

[Schappy]

Which would be more stable 500 or 1M?

[John Lyons]

It depends on how neat your wiring is etc etc.
Either will be fine. 500k will be less prone to
oscillation though I'd say. Just build it and see.

[Schappy]

Ive already built it with the 500k. It sounds good I will keep it.
