unh hunh huh huh... hey, beavis, he said....
lmao. love it. what me worry?
so i didn't do anything i set out to do. i messed with some fuzzboxes with it, dialing in various things, running both channels paralleled with a jumper like we used to do on marshalls before all the modern amenities got added all the 13 year olds with daddy's credit cards needed <g>.... holy cow. interesting. the #2 input on each channel is slightly different gain and voice it seems like from the # 1 inputs, but ONLY when jumpering channels. so like, plug in channel one, input 2, and run a jumper from channel 1 input 1 to channel 2 input 1 or 2, 2 will be slightly hotter.
the interaction of the two channels is really strange too, particularly after i
molested the fuzz slightly like we all knew i was gonna do.
just for shits n grins i tacked 3 .1u caps shunting across the .001u caps, which i guess is .101u there instead.
NOW the fuzz actually sounds fairly good, and if ya jumper the channels right you can get a real nice brownish overdrive out of it.
the fuZz is in parallel, so theres always an element of clean to it sorta. it does a REAL good mimic of a warm old tube amp, and i was playing it with no other effects and getting real close to the same tones i normally would use live.
so i think the fuzz will be a keeper. but i think the preamp card, or part of it, is part of the fuzz circuit. how you drive the preamp determines how hard the fuzz drives, too. the higher the preamp volume, the hotter the fuzz seems to get. the tone controls have a little to do with it too, but not much. of course, this is AFTER changing the cap values to let some bass in.
still works good with a ge fuzzface into the front end.
sounds a lot like a brown or early blackface fender when ya dial it in right.
yeah, if we can un-neuter the tremolo and give it slightly bigger bollocks that could be fun, too. its pretty faint as is.
checked the filter caps, all three FIFTY volts. i can't see all the markings clearly, i gotta do that in bright daylight.
i also tacked an inline fuse holder across the blown circuit breaker. it said the circuit draws .100 amps from the wall, i figure a 1 amp should be ok, the parallel courtesy outlet is rated for 3 amps, so i know its a bit high but should be fine as long as i don't throw a spanner in the works somewhere or something equally stupid.
we ARE talking me, here

so anyways, after playing a bunch of guitar (i shouldn't have) with this damn finger <good for it AND my soul> and finally being asked super nicely by the young lady upstairs to turn the @#$% down i gave in for the nite.
i gotta be in playing shape, handwise, by thursday, by hook or by crook. the wyld west medicine show must go on! lol
i will endeavour to get it finished up tomorrow or the next day, for posterity sake
