Mojotone British 100w Lead/Bass

[hankspencer]

I am getting ready to build a mojotone 100w British head and I have been trying to decide between building the super lead or the super bass version. Wondering if there is a reliable way to mod the design so that I can switch between the two? Has anyone done this or something similar that can offer suggestions?

From what I see from the schematics, there would be too many changes to do it with a single mechanical switch. You would have to build a series of relays to do the changes, and I think there would be some pretty nasty pop even with smart implementation.

Probably smarter to try out both (Mojotone are PTP so it's easy enough), write down what you like most about both, settle for one base and maybe have the most relevant change for you on a swith.

That was what I figured the smart route would be.

Or........

And make sure they area all DPDT on/on/on and a mix of type one and two just for fun.

P.I.T.A!

In text it tells you what to omit/switch for the bass version. Perhaps you could do one channel bass?

Just build Lead version if you’re planning to use modern speakers. I just built an amp with Bass versions preamp section and ended up changing it to resemble Lead, ’cos bass content was too superwhelming with fuzz through 15” speakers.
