Gudday all, this is Royal Dawn, otherwise known as Storyboardist's/Effectlayout's King of the Morning, running a Morning Glory into a Prince of Tone. It might be the other way around, I'm not 100% on that.
Anyway...
So this was a complete bastard to get running. Everything would work fine out of the box, but as soon as I boxed it up I just had motorboating, which normally means a ground is disconnected.
I pulled the guts out and tested it - worked fine.
Put the stuff back in, minus DC and 1/4inch jacks, tested - worked.
Put that stuff back in, tightened everything up and...... it motorboated.
I pulled the guts out again and got much the same result. I replaced a jack as jiggling could cut the sound. I looked closer and saw the clipping and cut switches were up against a couple of pot legs so I put some masking tape between those, reboxed, tested. Right, that worked. Tightened everything up and tested, great - it works.
All that is on me anyway, probably took some dodgy measurements off the drill doc.
I think I like this one the most so far out of my recent builds, or at least the Morning Glory side for some reason. Turns out I'm still not a massive fan of stacking drives.
I might need to look at it again, as it's only just making a bit past unity volume, especially with a couple of the clipping modes.
Willy.
Nice, that's a pretty clever layout.

Holy crap that monochrome stealth look is pretty darn sexy. I hear you on the stacking bit. It's never quite worked out for me. Even pushing a drive with a booster has been a bit dodgy. The lower gain stuff tends to work a bit better (Aion Yamaha drive is a good example), but otherwise I tend to run into a bit too much noise.
Compression into a drive. Now that's another story...

Yep, big fan of some compression beforehand. I agree with the boost before drive thing too - too much and it sounds *clipped*, not enough and it's not really making enough difference to warrant doing it.
