SKINWALKER Hi Gain Distortion.

[deadastronaut]

My latest project: the ''SKINWALKER''

a nice hi gain chunky metal box. 

based on the spitfire mu-amp J201's setup but with added pregain, tonestack and a bass cut , and tone switches.

nice and chuggy, and most importantly very very quiet between chugs. heres a quick n dirty demo. 

i have had pcbs made for it, then found i just had to tack on a small cap to quell oscillation even when boxed. but hey, that's the hazards of breadboarding very hi gain stuff i guess ..

anyway.. yep, its working pretty nicely...

Nice one! Sounds great from the video, as if the Spitfire had a fling with a peavey 5150. If I wasn't out of j201s and massively intimidated by a 6-pot 2-toggle build I'd be all over this and ordering a Pcb from you.

Soon man. Once I've sourced more jfets and had a think about how big an enclosure I'll need and time to set aside.  I like your Spitfire so much I think I've built three. This one certainly sounds more versatile, but seems it's fully in more extreme territory, though it's difficult to draw real conclusions from a YouTube video played through my phone with Xmas music playing in the background. 

Is the video sans-amp? Straight to board?

Cheers all the same Rob! Happy new year to you.

Cheers guys. Yeah its not a fuzz lol...

Iain. Sansamp???...

Signal. Guitar. Marshall clean channel. Eq at 12 on amp. Micd. Into mixer...no post EQ.  Recorded as is... if thats what you meant.   

Demos on phones and tablets bad idea....get it up on a stereo for full punchiness...
