Aron R.G.! Why no AC30 Sim alternative circuit from U guys?

[Bill Bergman]

thanks Peter

[Fret Wire]

Patience, Grasshopper.  The time is near.

Patience?......At the rate you guys keep pumping them out,.... we could all use a little patience! Let the planet's perfboard supply replenish back to safe levels :lol:

Someone needs to build all of Brian's and Gary's simulators in one box with a rotray switch.

[Doug H]

Ohmigod, so you guys *are* at it again...

Are you volunteering?  It certainly would be an impressive way to come out of your semi-retirement!

Just imagine a box with 47 trimpots. I don't think Boss will put it out any time soon.

Take care,

[Bill Bergman]

Brian, I'm fighting the urge.
Peter, Boss would, but it would only have 3 knobs and be DIGITAL.

[Gary]

And sound like crap!

Bill, your craftsmanship  is amazing.  I've seen factory work look unprofessional compared to your excellent work!

[Bill Bergman]

Thanks Gary, but putting something together is no match to the ability to design.

[Gary]

It's much easier to design when Dick Denney, Jim Marshall, Leo Fender and Randall Smith have done all the hard stuff for you!

[Bill Bergman]

I suppose that helps a little :wink:

[Bluesgeetar]

That is some serious Pedal Porn Mr. Bergman.   XXXX rated   :shock:

I could actually see myself getting a poster printed of that and putting on my wall over the tiny spot where I tinker.

sorry: hard stuff?

(some may notice, that 1 name has been left out in the quote...)

and: L.F. was the genius for solidbodies - no doubt, incl. mech. vibrato...

Modular design, with multi pin jacks.
 have the box with 1m, 500k, 100k pots that are in your favorite circuits, connect them to the multi pin jack, the on the multi pin plug, have your circtuit use only the pins that relate to the size pot it needs...use the same pots and power supply, switching, led indicator, [etc?] and jacks for different circuits...pot a 100k on a treadle, and use it for wah or Fuzz volume, gain if you like.

[WGTP]

Has anyone checked out Jake Nagy's Earthshine in the schematics II section.  It isn't an emulation, but looks like one with the Mosfet and Jfets.  Interesting how his design ended up looking like a tube amp, sort of.

R. Smith did it all--who the heck are those other guys?

here I disagree with you, Ben: he didn`t do all, but he added,
to go beyond the others...

[Gary]

It appears, after analyzing the MkI schem a million times, that amp is pure Fender.  Sure, there are extra gain stages, but they are copies of the original gain stages of the Fender design.

Still, It's an interesting amp.  I don't like the newer amps, but the MkI is kinda cool, especially in an historic aspect.  Wasn't this the first of the cascaded preamps?
:wink:

[Peter Snowberg]

I think the Mk I was the first commercial cascaded preamp at least. I can't help but think that somebody must have done the same thing in the 50s, but he was probably looked upon as strange by his "peers" at the time.

The odd thing about R. Smith is that he's a sax player. I friend's son used to be in a band with him.

The negative thing is that he has patented several very "obvious" design methodologies and paid his lawyers well.

Take care,

Yeah, I could imagine that was something!
"What is that HORRIBLE sound?!?"
