Title: niks BFVChamp tonestack bypass help
Post by: spark_right on March 06, 2009, 01:28:29 PM
Hello ,
         Could someone help please . I have pne of nik's Vchamp kit and want to bypass the tonestack , anyone got a schamatic i could use ?
Out of curiosity I'll try a choke in it at some point too .
I'm 46 with 2 children and one arriving anytime now , so i will be taking particular notice of all the good safety advice , of which i've had a lot hehe I'm not impatient by nature and being an ex (thankfully for me) banking software programmmer i can work methodically.
I'm a luthier now , but a novice finger burner (studying hard though can follow a schematic reasonably well now ) but my little brother is an electronic engineer graduate , he'll keep an eye on me .
Just a liitle extra note . I haven't had such a mix fun , curiosity , determination and excitment since i built my first guitar at 16 . I bet this isn't curable is it ? Mark

First I'm going to direct you to a thread by mcinku where he and I discuss this very thing ...

I believe mcinku got his info from Steve Aloha's site...
