OTS’s pre out is hooked on master volume pot which is 1 Meg. So PRE OUT’s resistance is high. If your echo’s (any loop device) input resistance is lower than 1 meg you will have mismatch and obvious volume drop. After 7, 8 on the master out resistance drops dramatically to 50 – 26 K and volume increases. So if your device’s input can take high signal without overloading and it also has output regulator you’ll be OK. Actually good and cheapest processor you can use in OTS’s loop is DIGITECH RP 100. With this you can compensate everything – volume, tone and also you can use noise gate which works just great. You don’t need a Kleinul/Dumbleator.  |

bluesfendermanblues,
As I’ve mentioned before I’ll post my tweak’s layout hopefully soon, after I’ll talk to Nik.
Best wishes

First of all – is your OTS modified? I have TR CRS 50 and CRS100 W also TR Kimok 50W and after 2 months of extensive tweaking my 50W OTS sounds bigger and sweeter than all of them. It also can do Plexy and Hi gain as a third channel. Beauty of the Dumble circuit is that one can tweak it endlessly. I also compared my OTS to my friends BLUDOdrive by Brandon Montgomery (exact copy of Robben Fords Dumble) and they were pretty similar. BTW if you want to hear it side by side with a BLUDOTONE come today to my gig at "the Winkfield", Lovel Road, Winkfield, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 2ES, gig starts at 9pm. So don’t be broken hearted! Tweak your OTS and it will sound better the Matt’s amps  |

First of all, as bluesfendermanblues mentioned: put clean volume on 7 for the strat.
For overdrive – open up the amp end adjust the overdrive trimmer for your taste. Then compare clean and drive and if the drive tone is to trebly increase a capacitor values on the second tube. I’m sure you will get great drive sound.
Good luck

Hi Jack, I have two:  zen and zen2 tube. Don't like them! no way they can produce a distortion like this http://www.drika.biz/chign.mp3or this http://www.drika.biz/cplexi.mp3Also I disconnected PAB circuit which is useless(for me) in OTS and created much more simple and powerful boost which does not change the tone You can hear it on this sample at 2,24min. http://www.drika.biz/cityblue.mp3About pedals: I tried probably most of them – from Zen to Ethos and only two staid with me so far, moded Tone Pump by Barber and king of all pedals moded Koch Pedaltone – 4 tube 5 channel monster preamp. Cheers |

Pickmaster, perhaps stupid question, are you Dr Ika?
Hi Adrian, Yes I am dr. Ika (Eka) WoW!!! Awesome guitar playing...amp sound great!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for listening my friend, cheers. the idea of the ventilation on the bottom and fan is a good thought. What kind of fan did you use, what's the placement, and all?
Hi, It Is 240v mains fan, has 2k, 25watt resistor on it to slow it down (less noise). It sits on the grill under the power transformers and power valves. |
