Title: Another Darkside
Post by: juansolo on April 18, 2011, 08:10:20 AM
A bit different on the silver box as we ran out of white paint (and chicken head knobs!). It has all the mods we liked on it (100K vol pot, 470K sustain with 1nF cap) and we've nailed on the diodes we like (1n60a from AMS. They had a higher forward voltage than the ones we sourced in the UK, and it's made all the difference to the amount of gain on tap).

Simply superb professional and beautiful!  ::)
With the mods you did you mentioned 1uF cap across sus pot, is that a typo? In previous mod suggestions it called for a 1nF (470pF) there. Also: the resistors across tonepot, are they to bring tonepot to 25k or what have you done there?

Cheers

Andy

If you're knobs were black (volume), grey (tone), red (sustain) that would look HAWT!

Spot on, typo on my part. Should be a 1nF (I've corrected the original post) and yes, the resistors are to get the tone pot to 25k and maintain the correct taper.
