you can increase the gain:sidehatch wrote:I'm wondering if I can get more drive out of this thing now like keeley's "baked" mod?
Also, Is it possible to add the GE diodes to this to get those cool Zendrive like tones?
What would be cool is if I can keep the 3 way switch I now have and add another switch that kicks in GE diodes for the Zen thing.
Thanks!
- with a bigger gain pot (500KA or 1MA for example)
- decreasing the value of R8 (in that case you have to modify C6 too to keep the same low frequency cut, f = 1 / (2*PI* R * C) )
- changing D3 and/or D4 with GE diode (you will notice a volume drop in that case).
I don't know exactly what you mean with "Zen thing", I guess you'd want to add a couple of ge diodes in series with D3 and D4: doing this thing only the gain will be decreased a bit beacuse the voltage swing could be wider, unless you put a bigger pot.
