which one? MkIIC isn't in that list of options for configuration (at least from what i can see).
so if a MkIIC is what you really wanted, you haven't missed out.
regardless, i think this is a sign that you should get a 90s dual rectifier
yep, aionfx docs are great for those little bits of extra info.
as discussed on your zonk thread, zonk = MkI tonebender.
(mkI, mkII, mkIII are all quite different from each other, with mkI being the worst in every way)
I'm assuming you're pondering the right transistor for Q3?
the front end is essentially a MkIII tone bender.
here's some good advice on the MkIII:
(aionfx)
(fuzzdog)
note: the bias control pot will affect Q3 idle bias voltage, so i guess it's probably best to have it set in the centre when...
EDIT/UPDATE:
oh crap..
sorry guys, i am a buffoon.
full disclosure:
i breadboarded this a few months ago, and it sat on a shelf for a while.
i'm pretty sure it got knocked off the shelf at some point, Q2 fell out, and I haphazardly reinstalled Q2 like this without noticing that these should...
post up some voltage measurements at each transistor pin if you can.
would be interesting and possibly valuable to confirm what the idle bias voltages are. if the idle bias isn't quite right at certain spots, it will not operate correctly.
the zonk is basically a Mk1 tone bender.
they are an...
that's a good point, this layout has 35 rows 🥵
IIRC most vero seems to max out at either 34 or 35 rows, so im guessing it's been designed for the absolute limit.
crikey etching one of these would’ve been a heck of a task, nice one 🫡
cheers! 31x 100nF caps, x9 offboard pots; definitely a good time haha
thanks! took me ages to figure out that knob layout, pretty stoked on it though.
i’m a fan of PT2399 delays.
they’re a great definition of ‘cheap and cheerful’.
and despite the idle ‘hash noise’ they tend to have, i don’t really notice it enough for it to matter in a context where guitar amp + speaker cabinet is involved.
(in a DAW, i guess they can become undesirable)
i...
after breadboarding an MT-2 and doing some deep dives i become aware that the pedalpcb shop has a board for a pedal that Randall released a while ago, called the RRED pedal.
it’s pretty much a bang on clone of the Randall RG100 red channel, except with the ‘saturation’ switch mode hardwired on...
