hi all, i have seen the plexitone, its a very simple schematic, but i has a transformer on it, so i was wondering if its better so supply with the transformer or just use a charge pump, does anybody have build this pedal before??

Check out madbeans boneyard...

[copachino]

its that the same???, but for the tone, do you think that using a charge pump its easy or its sound good because of the transformer??

[copachino]

i have seen the boneyard, but its almost the same, but the booster sections has not split??, its there a way to separete the boost from the main distortion?? like the plexi tone?

I built both, and the original plexitone sounds 100 times better
12 volts are felt

Did ypu make the layout???

[thomasha]

No,
I used the layout from a brazilian forum,
this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sh5w1pyd5ia6ujx/PlexiDrive%20-%20Big%20Louis.pdf?dl=0

the name is plexidrive, but the schematic is the same as the Plexituna, with only one gain Pot.

I'm thinking of using a switch to add a 110k resistor in paralel with the 1M pot to have crunch and hi gain with the same pot.

but at lower gain settings it becomes as crunchy as with the 100k pot.
