This has been a loooooong time in the making, but it's finally finished!! Electric Mistress retrofitted with an MN3007.
I just seemed to run into issues at just about every step of the process:
- trouble getting parts and finding an enclosure at a decent price - looked like the postage was going to be 3x the price of the enclosure
- spend ages trying to sort out noise issues only to discover the the circuit just doesn't get on with switching power supplies like a 1-Spot. Works well with a battery - haven't been able to try it with a transformer based PS yet.
- discovered a big volume drop issue when the circuit was activated which hadn't come up in discussions before. Resolved this one by adding a LPB-1 stage to the output. That's the little add-on taped to the side of the enclosure
- had to redo the artwork after the some heavy handed glueing caused the colours to bleed on my first attempt
- I hate the Jaycar shielded wire I used. The conductor is so thin and flimsy - it responds very badly to any mechanical stress
But despite all that it fired up first go and sounds amazing - well worth persisting through the issues.
