Appreciate it. I should've, thankfully Ampeg has all their schematics online and thanks for linking it. Wish more companies did that. I do use the fx loop and never had a problem with it. There is no fx loop switch but there is a reverb switch if plugged in, otherwise the verb is always on...

I have not as they don't look rusted or anything like that but I suppose I'll give it a try since it worked for you. Thanks man.

If anyone happens to know much about reverb tanks I could use some help. I have an Ampeg vh140c with what seems to be the appropriate spec reverb tank. 4bb3c1b I've tried it both ways and smacked the tank and both sides sent audio which should mean both half of the tanks are working correctly...

I set it to the low mode on this inside instead of the high if I remember right cuz it worked better for me that way. I'm not sure if yours is messed up or that's just the issue though

Sovcom on ebay seems to be the place to buy germaniums. My order is supposed to show up soon and I ordered from them because other people mentioned it in some threads on here. They aren't measured so buy extra so you can test them, and since you gotta buy extra it's worth importing anyway cuz...

Nice! And ooh what do the mods do? I got a board for this on my desk waiting for parts.

All those jumpers are confusing the shit out of me lol. But hell yeah! I got a board on my desk waiting for parts. Mine won't look as cool as yours though!

It seems I got mixed up and thought the mofeta was based on the beta lead for some reason. However the tube feel is generally regarded as coming from the power amp. So if the tube feel is coming from the power amp then your tube preamp won't give it especially if your tube preamp is not doing it...

Why would a solid state pedal based on a solid state amp with some "power amp emulation" which just means they threw a weird gain stage running transistors at 18 volts make it feel like a tube amp? (Referring to the mofeta) No it won't help. It might sound good.

Please post a pic of what ends up working the best for you!

Yes to the last option, edited now

For anyone interested and will be testing their jfets and wants to see an example build. I didn't have any stripboard just perfboard. The center position is supposed to be off but it measures as the same in the center position as the bottom but I don't think I did anything wrong.... Out of the...

Thanks Chuck. I found where you mention the fetzer valve method which seems to be what you are referring to. Saw you talk about risk of damaging jfets so don't supply voltage for too long. Also found keen methods which seems to be the same thing basically and the one hamish shared on this page...

I got a cheap little tester and went to testing my j201s and 5457 (both from ppcb) My j201s pick up as npn's :( I googled stuff and everything is suggesting that the j201s are fake but I have more faith in Robert than I do this little tester. So I found a jfet testing method where you test...

Ooh I didn't even realize! I have the PCB in my pile on my desk so will be making one soon

You gotta use mogami for fuzzes that need shielded inputs

Those jacks look like they are gonna short into the power jack as soon as anything gets loose and spins. Hopefully that's not the case.

What's up with the missing led in the top right?

Since there is still no build docs imma throw this in here. I've only put the 5817 on so far. Good to know people like it, guess I already bought the pcb anyway but helps me know it will be worth building.

Daisy is sending a replacement! That would've been a really bad first time customer experience if they didn't. I will be checking mine first thing from here on out and recommend y'all do too just in case but it seems everyone else has had a good experience with their customer support as am I so...
