Hey all
just finished the new version of the simulcast. When engaged all knobs affect the sound, however the sound is weak in all three modes, a tiny bit of drive, not much increase in volume.
When I first plug it in to the power it sounds how it is meant to for two seconds then it fades back to that quiet/ weak state. if I really dig into the strings it sputters here and there like a gated fuzz.
I’ve built a duo cast in the past and it worked great.
Im pretty confident the problem lies with the ge transistor. I have an OC 71 in it right now. If I wiggle it about it has splutters here and there. I know the transistor works because it was in a functional duocast and it worked fine (a little weak but pretty good).
I have a bunch of MP20 transistors coming so I’ll try them when they arrive. Does anyone have any advice in the mean time? Many thanks.
