Gday just a few questions...

The attached file is a dr. boogie distortion pedal.

1) The 100k trim what are they? variable resistors?

2) The 1k8 resistors...im assuming that means 1.8k ohm?

3) Are there any special caps/res you need to use? or any will do? i mean electrolitic/ceramic etc.

4) The j201 is a transistor?

5) and the master volume bass treble etc are they variable resistors?

thanks

Sounds good but i dont have a wha pedal.

Is their any particluar box that i could make to get the sound?

like a cirtan type of overdrive?

How do you get Mark Knopfler's tone? especially money for nothing?

Overdrive?

Hi im just wondering what effects james and kirk use in unforgiven 2.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3cr-H4OQFp4&search=unforgiven%202%20live

Thats the video, Im guessing the first part that kirk (black guitar) plays is some sort of distortion...

What effects dose james (yellow guitar) use? (im talking about the clean sounding part)

Thanks.

Righto, how much cheaper would it end up?

would you have to use bigger speakers for the 100w amp?

Are the speakers expencive?

Sweet, so what type of voltage would be needed from the transformer? the same 35V from that other 100W amp?

it will be a cheaper option to make a smaller wattage amp will it or not really?

Yea i would like it to be clean as well, but yer most of it will be distortion.

Would it be a good idea to just have one clean chanel on the amp and then have the effects via stomp boxes?

Yea not loud at all, Just so I could play in my room and maybe sometimes with mates. No gigs lol.

Just the important thing is i want it to sound good, i have a 10W ashton amp atm but it sounds really bad with gain turned up, havent had a distortion pedal on it yet, will be interesting to see how much better it will be.

Sweet thanks mate,

ive decided to mave a few stomp boxes first.

How close would that solid state amp be to sounding like the amp in the link below with a distortion effect pedel?

Righto, im not to sure what you mean by "bridged LM1875 poweramp or a single LM3886 poweramp setup" im guessing they are some sort of setup, im only like a beginner to electronics.

I found this amp http://sound.westhost.com/project27.htm but its 100W and im not sure if I would need one that big,not looking for a loud amp, ,I just want it to sound good and cheap.

So yea Im kind of looking for instructions as well

How much would it cost to make the one you mentioned?

Thanks

Hi, im looking around for plans to make a solid state pratice amp.

Looking at 30-50W maybe?

I play mostly metallica, acdc etc.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks
