Brilliant work! I also approve highly of using a buffer for many reasons.
You can accomplish this with our Buffer Board, AfterBlaster & Buff N Blend.
Thanks for giving us a build essay in photos. Very Nice!
“Would be much easier in a 125BB, but you can get it to work in a 1590BB as you can see.”
Looks to me it would fit mounted to the Top Wall or if not either of the side walls maybe?
So there are many choices.
I guess it is always good to decide if the circuit is inverted or non-inverting. Not because one is better but to plan if using an (inverted) circuit you will need another (inverted) Stage 3 Booster circuit to create a complete (non-inverted) circuit to use with the Buff N Blend. This can actually be beneficial in additional ways.
For example:
Our MoRC Compressor is (inverted) so you need to add an extra (inverted) stage like our Stage 3 Booster.
How is this beneficial?
You will end up with a seriously upgraded Compressor for Bass or 6 String that has a dedicate Volume control and a Blend to mix in or out as much clean signal as you need giving you far many more tonal options to suit the discriminating guitarist.
Since the Mastadon is (inverting) you will need to add a Stage 3. The Stage 3 is the least likely Boost (stage) to mess with your original tone. If you set it up Biased at 4.5v and use it as a mild boost it will only make things sound better while maintaining transparency.
That is just one idea for starters.
Read our Phase Follies Guide from the Guides Page.
Install TR1. Adjust to voltage and audible sound. 3.37v is not that far off from 4.5v or a suggested 5.2v running it hot.
Don’t forget to do the same with TR-2 with the Drain of Q5. Try to get 4.5v to 6.5v
Yah I had a version with the blue tube and I always hated it. Then Bruce got me that one and it blew my mind. Night and Day difference to the crap one I was using. More like Mirror Universe.
On another note you can have more stability by creating a “Hybrid Set”
The Foxrox CC comes to mind:
As well as the recently released Dunlop Hybrid featured in “The Pedal Movie” and hand-wired by Jeorge Tripps.
This uses a Russian GT308B Germanium in Q1 and a 2N5087 PNP in Q2.
Nothing hard to get there but if you want one you will need about $2,000.00
All of that said there is absolutely nothing wrong with Pure Silicon PNP Sets.
So 8mm since 11 X .79 = 8.69mm. I am imagining the whole you drilled has a very slight amount of play.
I will add all this info to the docs.
Thank you Big O
Photos are very hard to see. Even when zooming in.
Update Edit: I think the photos are that way because they are side by side.
I am trying a straight format here:
Can you share what you are using for your power source?
Like is it a battery and if not what type of power supply etc and any other info that might be different than the norm.
