Topics

Hi All

I have just completed a second build of a yellow shark board from Habberdasher ( I messed up the first lifting a trace, it worked but obsession is obsession), and I can see there are one or two topics with the same issue from a while ago so Im ressurecting here hopefully in time for a good answer:

Where is the overdrive?

If I use the shark on its own there is little drive (like clean boost), but when I push the front end input with a compressor or autowah it overdrives very nicely indeed.

As a fan of OD I would love too get the same level of OD without having to push the input level - any ideas?

Now Im guessing here but is it a case of reducing the resistances in the input circuit, or is there something around the opamp gain stage?

In the mean time I will try red LEDs instead of Green...but hopefully someone can shed light on this improvement

hopefully

thanks, Ubertech

I need to delete this thread - I am clearly a nincompoop! I have plenty of gain - lets put it down to rushing the rebuild.

If the moderator can delete it, please do so...I will endevour to check my work more carefully before posting 

Hi

regarding pot types for the Zero Point Mini. I am going to use a larger format box so I am not limited as regards size for the pots  - my question is should they be log or linear? I have scoured the docs but I must have missed it

the reason for large format:

tap tempo mod, hopefully the Jmk taptation http://jmkpcbs.com/product/the-taptation/ and chip http://diystompboxes.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=65

and somewhere along the line an effects loop for the delay circuit - Ive seen a few memory boy ones kicking about in the chat

do you have any thoughts about these pots and mods?
