This Week on the Breadboard: The Pushover Drive

[Chuck D. Bones]

If the mids are not strong enough when PUSH is turned down, then C1 can be increased to 15nF.
The MID cut freq can be shifted by increasing or decreasing C7 & C8.

Layout 1.3.2 is still on breadboard so I will soon convert it to 1.4.3 and upload a recording.

 

[temol]

Parts 1, 2 and 3 - different gain and MID settings. In each part MID at min, noon, max.
Part 4 - hm.. I played with MID and PUSH pot. Probably...

Was your Strat's Volume all the way up?

 

[temol]

99% yes. Why?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

When the guitar's volume is turned up, the pickups & the PUSH knob interact. You get an upper midrange peak. I thought I was hearing that in the first half of part 4.
