Sunn Beta Pre Amp

 Ok, let's release the beast. Two layouts. One stock for iether Bass or Lead cap values.

And another one with a Beta/Lead switch. Since I'm not a big fan of offboard wiring I decidied to simplify things a bit. Lead cap values is always in circuit and with a 4PDT switch you can switch in four caps in parallel so it matches up with Bass values. Some values differs in few hundred pico farad or a few nano farad but the overall difference is minimal. And in theory you could use a SPST switch....

It also has an onboard charge pump for 15v/-15 operation.

This going to be the last layout I will post in a while since I'm going back to work tomorrow but this and a few other layouts should keep some of you occupied....;-) 


*Edit*

MTK once again outdid himself! Here is a short demo of Lead/Bass switch version.

 Two layouts for this one. One stock and one with an additional Mid control. The clipping diodes is placed on the side of the board so you can easily add a diode clipper switch. Just omit the diodes on the board and add wires tat pad 1M and 1N to a DPDT switch where you solder your diodes of choice.
