Dano Daddy-o users...conversion to guv'nor specs now available

[wampcat1]

Just finished reversing one for a book, here is also a mod to change it to guv'nor specs (except for the switching and the buffers)

I usually try not to ask this type of thing, but could you post it on our site
Thanks



And I'm gonna try this for sure...especially because the original box is so cheap!

Yes - it isn't working for me, I'll pm ya.

I might try this one. What is the difference in sound? I have allready modded my Daddy-O with a new Op amp and a silicon and a germanium in the place of the clipping leds. Sounds great!

Well, this modification just makes it up to original 'black box' guv'nor specs, except for the buffers. If a person wanted to, they could remove everything, change the pots, True bypass it, remove the buffers and you'd have a full blown guv'nor, but it may be just as easy to build one from scratch at that point!

Yeah, that sounds like a little to much work. What I meant earlier was if there is any significant diffrence in the sound from the Daddy-o and Guv'nor, or do they sound very alike?

Glad to see there are others out there too who cares about this pedal. I love Dano, and their capability to make cheap, great boxes. Thanx for the schem, by the way.

It sounds a bit similar, the Marshall sounds less midrangey to me, and a bit more aggressive (probably due to the lack of buffers).

Take care,

I assume it has SMT parts right?  Any tips for dealing with them?  How do you put them in/take them out etc?  Just heat them up and  pull? 

And did that last link for the mod submission work?

Thanks

No SMT in the Daddy-O. Everything is DIL size, and the board is far from crowded and very easy to work on. I'm sloppy as hell, and even I had no problems removng the OP-amp and putting in a socket.
