The boost sounds harsh and unboost like and it feels like its after the main drive? I dont know. Tbh, ive jumpered both the board boost holes and left it off.
I've been over the schematic again and I can't spot any errors. Boost control essentially is a gain control at the last gain stage.... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ier5Qk_vR-U/Tx1MsJ0sKoI/AAAAAAAAAro/1KKJZX2vyy4/s1600/Plexitone_rev3.gif
If you want more treble from the tone control I think you need to reduce 68nF cap.
Found another schematic that has Boost switch lugs 2 and 3 tied together. Worth trying out? https://s272.photobucket.com/user/harrisxr650/media/marshall%20preamp.jpg.html
Hmm. I always thought it was at the beginnening. I increased the pot to 10k, added a substantial amount and i was thinking of playing with the cap. Im gonna definatly do a dual footswitch version. I cant decided between this and the jhs @ at the moment. Marshally goodness.
Oh sweeet heavenly jeebus xx
ReplyDeleteTheres a problem with the boost section but crunch and hi gain sound good.
ReplyDeleteWould increasing the 68nf cap increase the treble?
