'SPITFIRE' Metal 'n' Blues Pedal...

[Ronan]

Looks like 4.7n/6.8n on my layout, but anything that will fit can go in there.

Here's the schematic for V3:

Edward, still have some pcb's, just send me a pm if you want one. It's the version 3 schematic.

ian, thats a nice layout you did there, 

@nomorebetts:  before you whack it in a box experiment with the tone pot value , try 25k - 50 - 100k.

i tried a 22k on it and it seemed to squeeze it nicely....depends on your taste/style i guess , but its good either way..



i must get round to a full tone stack versionof the spitty one day.......one day.

Must get around to etch a new board from my layout and try to verify it, then order 9mm pots and start squeezing it into a 1590A

^ why do your posts add 'Sv' to the title?

[Perrow]

Swedish for "Re:" guess it's a setting in Tapatalk, I've noticed it before and was slightly annoyed with it, I'll see if I can "fix" it.

Edit: no, no setting for language in Tapatalk, you'll have to learn to live with it.

Etched and colored

just for what?....


looks sick.. .....looks like a silk screen


you do know thats never been verified don't you?.....should be  ok though.

[Maik]

Damn Rob. I made a second box right now...
But I think it will work after somebody found the mistake with the Fuzz-Condensator.
Will tell you after veryfing...
Happy eastern

Hey Rob i made the board tonight.
I'll solder up the switch and pots tommorow .
I know i've gone wrong somewhere already but hopefully i'll be able to debug it.
Looking forward to hearing it

hi Rich, great, its well worth a build...

hopefully you'll love it, i use mine all the time now..

look forward to seeing/hearing your build man..


with mine i socketed C10/11....for the modern i suggest 3.3n, classic 6.8-10n..

[Kipper4]

What a doufuss i forgot to socket those even though i read it earlier.
Anyway i'll have to debug in the morning now it's getting late again and i know it doesnt pass audio i. I just put it on the test rig and ziltch,nada not a peep.
Oh well i should be used to it by now.
i'll let you know how i get on.
I'm gonna look up the voltages page now.

[deadastronaut]

lol...

remeber C16 is 100uf..

i must remember to update the pdf..

[Kipper4]

i've just changed that or i wont sleep the same thanks

Rob, I gotta build this again! This is the main pedal that got me mad obsessed with the whole high gain thing!

[SmoothAction]

Just started building V3 after I finally got some very nicely matched J201s. Very excited, just need some other minor bits to finish it. This thread and Jok3rx's (engl is on the list...) high gain threads are great. High as FK gain for life. Big ups to deadastronaught on this. I've listened to the demo for too long to not build it. Thank you man. I'll do a demo no doubt, my high gain sound needs some serious work in my newer rig.

[deadastronaut]

hi jim, yeah you should man, the mu amp setup is nice n quiet (noiseless biasing) ..you should try that out on your hi gainers.....stick a nice (carvin maybe)  stack on it and your away...

ive just been looking at 'active' stacks actually...i'm looking for ''independent' control over bass/mid/treble..instead of the same old

interactive stacks...they always 'lack' something ...too much interactivity,

with these hi gainers its all in the EQ imo...

i now have one of my breadboards dedicated to messing with tone controls...i'm going to try out a carvin BMTP in a bit...looks interesting.

then i'll attack some active stuff and see how it goes...

@smooth, go for it man... ..look forward to the demo too...

Yeah, I was looking at some sort of sansamp active eq... You know on actual tube amps the eq really does next to nothing the louder you get so it's kinda universal in that sense... There are a few stacks that I am interested in - Blackstar, Framus Cobra, and Carvin... Carvin looks really interesting!

[deadastronaut]

yep thats the one i was checking out...

then i found this....interesting ..
