Hey, I completed the mods on my OTS this weekend and it sounds amazing. All the goods everyone has talked about are there. Thanks to Jack for bringing these to our attention.

FYI, I emailed Jack with the following questions (did I say I was a newbie?). His answers follow. Thanks Jack!
Sorry Jack, one last email before I heat up my soldering iron. Do each of the red letter mods on the schematic replace an existing component? For example, do the 350 Volt 47uF Caps replace the 100uF 450V Caps? Are there any mods that do not replace existing parts? Finally, there are two components circled on the Power Amp in Pre-amp out mod - did you snip them both?
From Jack:
the drawing should be self explanatory. The two 47uf caps are in parallel with the existing 100uf caps. The circled sections I snipped the caps/resistors. Make sure on the effect loop that the jumper wire between the two jacks is not snipped. Everything else will be replacing the existing part.

I have a question regarding the 330 pF caps on V-2...are these caps directional? Does it matter which way they go on? Thanks in advance:-)
What was the answer to your question above? |

Thanks Ken, that helps a lot. Regarding the schematic list, do you think I caught all of the "red-letter" items that should be modded?

I'm attaching a pdf file comparing the BOM list parts, Mouser inventory and Schematic parts in red text (to the best of my eyesight). Can anyone help a newbie out and explain the discrepancies in the lists? I highlighted in yellow those parts where the component value appears different from the schematic (e.g. 4.7uF 63 volts Caps on the BOM versus 4.7uF 25 volts Caps on the schematic), or where the quantities on the BOM differ from the schematic (e.g., BOM lists four 220K Ohms resistors versus two identified on the schematic).

I'm planning on doing my mod on my OT in a couple of days. Just waiting on the parts to arrive. I have been going through the list that Jack posted and comparing it to the tweaked layout. I see only 1-150k resistor highlighted in red on the layout....the list calls for 2-metal film and 2-carbon film 150k resistors. Which one do I use? (Metal or carbon) Are the overage parts spares? Sorry...noobie  just wanting to be sure it's done right  Mahalo (Thanks)!!! I'm in the same canoe - not much experience and trying to match up parts with the schematic. I created a spreadsheet comparing the BOM and schematic and sent it to Jack for comment. Hopefully he'll have the time to look it over and post a reply. |

Yes, thanks Jack. Please post your final menu with a clip - I have an Overtone and plan to mod it based on your info.

WOW! My OTS was shipped on Tuesday by Nick from Malaysia and it arrived today, Thursday, in Tampa at noon. Wish I could get that kind of service between US states. It came securely double-boxed with a chord, footswitch and T-Shirt. I've been playing it through a 2X12 cab loaded with mid-sixties Vox Silver Bulldogs and it sounds fantastic with single coils or humbuckers. My Iso cab should be completed in a week and then I'll crank it up through that & report back.

Actually, I twisted Nik's arm to put me in the queue based on some emails we traded before it was officially released. He let me know that it would be put in the queue without a deposit until it was ready to ship. That's the reason I've waited this long - Nik is a good guy.

Heard from Nik that mine will be here within two weeks. He's waiting on a delivery of 0.1uf caps to finish a batch of Overtones. I can't wait to hear her as I've been "Dumble-less" since selling a Bruno Super 100 a few years ago (outside brief stints with a Zendrive and an Ethos OD). I'm also building an Isolation Cabinet to play it and a Ceriatone Trainwreck through (details here -> http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=263106&highlight=isolation). Chipdog, I saw this at the Gear Page. Looks really good. Have you had the chance to try it out yet. I am thinking of ordered an iso cab for my Overtone. thanks Marin Not yet. I'm waiting on delivery of the cabinet, then have to soundproof it and install the speakers, microphone, jacks, etc. I'm way beyond patient . . . |

Great looking head. Who is she?? Dorthy the clone!?! Bob makes some beautiful cabs. Keep me abreast with the iso-cab build (if you don't mind).
As long as I'm tearing the concept of Trademarks a new one, I might as well call her Bozo the Clone - lol. I heard from Bob last night that my Iso Cab will be completed by week's end. Since he has a full-time day job as well, it may take a little longer. |
