modding DBA's Overdriver Intersteller

[Tune Tone]

Hey
so in between learning about the Muff I also want to modifz the DBA Intersteller Overdriver I built which has quiet a low sustain. also would very muchwould like to do so such as in the demo of it on Pro Guitar Shop - that the Gai wouldnt effect the volume of the signal so much... I can not seem to have a signal if the Gain knob is before 12 o'clock..
I ried so far to lower the 180K value resistors to Emitter on all tranis to 130K.. not much difference I believe its relayed on one of the others resis...

Ideas ?

thanks!

I don't have the schematic in front of me cause I'm at work, but if you need more output I believe you can increase the resistor before the output. This will prevent at much of the signal being dumped to ground before the volume pot.

here it is..



do you mean the 3.3K resistor ??

thanks. and I would be very happy to achieve these:
1. more gain output of the transistors
2. To make the gain knob more of a coloring thing of overdrive, raher then effect in such a great way the level of the signal.

at the moment if the Gain knob is slightly down, ther is barely a signal coming out unless the level knob is almost all the way up

I believe that you can increase that 3.3k to prevent signal fr being dumped to ground, but I'm not sure. I would socket it and see what happens when you increase it.
