G2 Animal

<hr />

here’s a Cornish G2 thing I just finished. this project almost got the better of me several times. what a rollercoaster ride. I won’t bore with the details. point of the story, stick to it. I’m so glad I didn’t give up. this is the best sounding overdrive I’ve ever played. artwork by my 8 year old daughter. it’s a roadrunner. I tried really hard to record some sound samples but every take sounded like trash. i really wanted to show it off.

geek stuff:

• DK9 diodes measuring .28 – .31 Vf
• 2N5088 for Q1 – Q4
• 2N5089 for Q5 and Q6
• each gain stage has an transistor with more gain that the one before it. starting around 250 for Q3 and ending at around 550 for Q6
• Q1 and Q2 have small gain under 250 since they are part of the buffers
• I tried to use the highest quality caps I could find

Very nice and thanks for sharing.

Always great I find to get the the rest of the family involved.
