Marshall like overdrive/crunch...

[ubaid88]

yes indeed!

You know your Texas Brownie seems to have that warm and crunchy Marshallish tone.  Care to share any details about it?

well, to be honest, i don´t like sharing that specific desing openly. You can send me an email and i can share the schem with you, but i wouldn´t like it to be published or used for selling.
Basically, the idea is a JCM 800 emu (similar to BSIAB) with muamps with a simple TS type booster in the front.

Like dui distortion ?

exactly, but the tone controls are different

can please u give a bit of idea on tone controls. Just normal passive Fender/Marshall/Vox, buffered or baxandall.

No problem!  I completely understand.

well..is my own design.. but a two pot BMP tone control is close enough..

Kind of hesitate to post this on a stompbox forum but after spending 2 years trying the get "the tone" from a pedal I finally gave up and built a Marshall 50watt clone.  First time I've been happy with my tone in about 25 years, when I played my friends 50w.  Was worried about the volume but with PPIMV using single 12" it really isn't that loud to get a great sound.  Rat works really good with it also for lower volumes.  Got board from Ceriatone, transformers from Triode and odds and ends from Apexjr and tubes and more, as I got the cash; wasn't cheap but really wasn't that expensive either. With info on the net I think it's easer than building a pedal just because of the size factor.  Just take simple precautions with the high voltage, basically drain filter caps (easy) before mods and only one hand in amp while checking voltages.  In my opinion it blows away all of the pedals I've tried, and I've tried quite a few.  Not telling you to do it, just sharing my experience with the search.

That is why used Marshall **LIKE* crunch/overdrive not exactly Marshall sound. I know only tube can do that.

yes, and no... i put the cap right on the volume pot (lug 1 & 3), so, the cap is there, but not in the layout..i put it after i built it, because i was getting, as you, too much fizz..the cap made a nice smoothing and got better low end..(at the cost of some output volume, but, there are plenty of it, anyway)

I tried this out this weekend and the cap did make a noticeable difference.  Thanks!
