Bajaman DR103 Hiwatt Amp Emulation

Hey all,

Curious to know if anyone has knocked one of these up. I know there was a brother some time back having difficulty’s. This seems to have been resolved by highering the value of the resistor between Pin 6 and 7 on IC1. I would likely put a 20k trim here.

2SK117s are like rocking horse shit in the uk, would likely sub them out with 2SK209s.

Going to knock up a schematic on Eagle when I am back from my trip.

Any considerations would be appreciated.

There's some bajaman emus that I think only bajaman only ever had working builds of.
Probably a good idea to find some verifications before embarking on any of them.

So from what I can see the vero is verified, once the feedback resistor was de-bugged.

I’m thinking for the sake of a few £££ I can knock up a pcb and see how it is !
 
I have the AC 30 normal and top boost, SVT, 57, 5150 and the Reactor. All do work. The Reactor needed a nice layout and the 57 sounds strange when used with a humbucker but all work in general. His love for the 2SK117 is a problem nowadays but I switched to J201 or the SMT counterpart.

Did you build them or buy them built ? I know another place does some layouts for some - I haven’t seen any for the Vox stuff though !

2SK117 - pain ! You can get the SMD counterpart from Mouser which I will likely do, can’t be doing with the faf swapping resistors in and out if I change to another JFet.
