You get absolutely everything to finish the kit. If you want to test it and bias it yourself you'll need a multimeter, but thats all.

I added two pots plus some co-ax cable to mount my FET and OD trimmers on the back panel and I changed the footswitch connector to a 5 pin Neutrik XLR.

1 Yes
2 No, you need to use the layout drawing


Those things with black stripes are diodes, but as these boards come ready assembled you don't need to worry what they are!

 

You got Larry Carlton to test drive your rig!!!! Man you are well connected, congratulations.

Yes it did, but I have to say, not much.


Wow that was very inspired!



Nice one!

Hi John, this might be of little or no use to you as I changed my mid cap a while back to try and scoop some mids out of the tone to make it more Fenderish, anyway doing your test I do get a little variation in the mids. You know how Matt showed us how he dialed in an amp by turning the knobs quickly over the full range? well doing that I can hear a small change in the mids, not much and the cusp seems to be at around 6 or 7.

Be interested to know what you've done to get a clean boost, is it the mod that Dr Ika posted, the one that gives a control over the PAB function?

Immensely useful thanks.

The intention of the buffer in the line input is to reduce the effect of long cable runs on tone loss. Changes the impedance.

You're going to need his fingers aswell!

 John Edmonds did some demo videos of the Tc Nova reverb and Delay pedal somewhere in this forum. I got the nova reverb based on his report. Very good indeed and you don't need a Kleinulator, it will take a line input voltage happily and you can calibrate it to the signal level.

If I find the posts John made I'll add a link later.

What made me ask was this I read on Eurotubes 
http://www.eurotubes.com/euro-l.htm#5

Going as high as 55mA with plate voltages of 485v. But then he is in the business of selling new tubes :-)

I'd be interested in hearing the tone at that level but would be wary of doing it myself!

Interested to know what your bias readings are and whether you have experimented with alternate values.

TIA

5751 in V2 will not give you a more creamy o/d. It will lower the gain.

Wasn't necessary with my DC-30 I just built. I just left it on for two spells of 8 hours. Made a very big difference (but that one was really nice right from the start and just got better)

Nope, been using a 4x10, Jensen P10Rs since I got my OTS.
