ok i was bitten by the zvex bug.. (no offense there zach i meant it as a compliment) to make a kick ass amp really damn small.
my micro tubes never got here in the mail so i had to put that off for a while so i did a solidstate version of my amp that i had been working on.
originally there wasn't going to be a clean channel cause i usually use a boosted type clean anyway. so since my dirty booster is the lpb1 basic circuit i figured i would just build it into the amp. so basically you got the clean channel's gain and volume is determined by the knob
as you turn the blend knob it always has distortion going to the input of the preamp so you are just tailoring the output.. into the other side of the power amp..
darlington in the place of the original 2n5089.
the voltage divider is a 1m 1m 1uf standard.
the poweramp chip is the lm1875
and the niffty thing i think about this is the fat switch.. when it is clean it acts as a normal and fat switch.
but when you turn the distortion on it acts as a normal and bright switch.
the tube one is almost done. i already breadboarded the starved tube version of this pretty much the same thing but the 6dx8 pentode side buffers the input of the clean and distorted side before the ss output.
the preamp is behind the lpb1 and its starved so its not as tubey as i would like.
but when my tubes get here i will be able to do what i have wanted to do for some time, and make little 3 gainstage preamp, mini eq and use a pentode for the outptu.. so i can have alittle 4 watt beast. but alas i am waiting on my tubes if i want to make it tiny.. i dont' know what it is zack but ever since i saw your pedals in person i want to make stuff tiny.. its addictive. man i dont' get it..lol..
the "Lil sin" is better! well... its the solid state version... custom made for me... thanks ansil!

True it has more features. but i wanted to make this compact.. lol i got the fever.. the micro teeny tiny fever
Cool, Ansil. I really liked your idea.
