Post by: Kipper4 on February 28, 2014, 08:04:11 AM
Heres the schemo

I notice theres a 150nano cap on switch two.
What is it for please?
Is it some sort of soft knee/ Hard Knee switch?
If so how does it work please.
I've read that its a modded orange squeezer too.
Thanks
Rich

It's a treble boost.

I'd guess, and not look at the video, and say "the 1uF tant is charged by the transistor, through the 20k in its collector. smaller R will mean more current, faster charging."  I'd also say the 4M7 was discharging that same cap, and would be a decay mod-in-waiting.

and then I'd say "[edit:] not the collector, the emitter. It's upside down, Miss Jane."

Cheers guys thanks for that.
I'll do some searching and see what others have done with the orange squeezer too.
