    Tube dampener rings

    The placebo rumor is based on the promise to improve the fidelity of tube hifi amplifiers, which is nonsense.

    Tube dampener rings

    I have an old Roland Bolt 30 amp with very special (aka rare aka expensive) RCA 7591A output tubes. These are 6L6 with a different pinout. These boogers started to rattle. I bought 4 rings and use 2 on every output tube. Works for me! ( Okay, okay i could rewire the tube sockets and buy a set of...

    Secret Preamp (effectslayout)

    Why are the in- and output on the breakout board on the wrong side. You always have to cross wires.

    Dragons Breath Boost (Catalinbread Naga Viper)

    I socketed the 3.3n and the 68n caps. I tried the Analogman Beano Boost values which are 5.6n up to 22nF. This concentrates the Range more in the mids. Maybe i try another cap over the output to smooth it out. I think the silicone tranny makes it a bit raspier than the Ge of the Beano Boost.

    Canis Distortion vs. Candid Drive

    I was shocked when i looked at the Canis (I was a wolf in the Forest). Its quite identical to the wellknown Barber Direct Drives (Candid Drive). Did anybody check them out side by side? I only see additional hard clipping diodes on the Candid. My plan now is to try some hardclippers on the Canis...

    Discovered my red clear led are reversed

    I had the same issue with blue colored led when i used the shorter wire as cathode. I did not solder it, because i had to check the length out of the box first. The advantage of the clear led is that can check the size of the plates for a double check.

    Phat-O-Caster mod: re-voicing Strat bridge pickup for a passive boost

    Great write-up on the mod, Michael. The cap part is also known as the De-mud Mod and was used on 4 conductor humbucker in the neck of a Les Paul. Most folks used a handy .047 from a strat or a .022 uF cap from the existing stock circuit, but could not use the neck tone pot after that. Most folks...

    You could shorten the black input and out wires, so that they are close to the enclosure sides.

    4 knob distortion suggestion

    With a couple of part and value changes a Rat schematic makes a great and versatile Distortion. I would use the Helios pcb and mod it with a different IC, different diodes and different filtering.
