I have not seen a Basstortion schematic yet but if you would like more low end the coupling and input capacitors is a good start to tinker with. 100nF is input cap, try 220nF there. Coupling caps is 22nF and you could increase them to maybe 100nF or so. The ones I have in mind the one connecting to Drain of Q1 and another one connecting to G of Q3. You could also tinker with the RC filter which is the 470k/470pF. Enlarge cap and reduce resistor value for more bottom end....although this filter gives the pedal its signature Marshall-in-a-box sound and feel.
Any ideas on how to make this like the Basstortion?

DeleteCan i use 2n7000 mosfet instead of bs170?
ReplyDeleteMind the pinouts. You probably have to reverse them.
