Diy preamp/pedal like vox ac30

[ubaid88]

I looking for clean sounding diy preamp/pedal that sound similar vox30 clean. I known about ROG english but that is a boost pedal/drive not a clean sim. Any other suggestions?

If you just go with lower value gain pot and higher value volume pot, you might be able to get a good clean sound with enough output.  Of course, you could also take their basic idea and redesign some of the gain stages (or eliminate one) to provide less clipping.  You could also try running it at higher voltages for increased clean headroom.  I don't see much of a point in trying to design something from the ground up, and I am not currently aware of any other designs.

Yeah, I would also be interested to hear your opinion of it, ubaid88.

I am still working on a high gain distortion preamp. After that i will work on it.

But schematic is verified, infact copy of Vox ac30 ss. It is simplified to make it easier for diyer.

Runoffgroove Tonemender. Check it out. It's a clean boost, but really it's a spectacular preamp with an amazing array of tonal possibilities including the Vox.
