Charge your mornings up!

Making and hacking software and hardware. Also making music and art.
This is the 3rd post in the Dead Kings preamp series. Now to design the EQ module! My initial idea was to create a circuit inspired from the classic tube bass amplifiers, like Ampeg Portaflex or SVT. I did some research and got somewhat carried away, so the circuit I…
Continuing the Dead Kings preamp series The tests in real hardware have shown very close characteristics to what LTSpice have simulated, this means the models of the transistors I’ve been using are pretty accurate, that’s good news! i’ll be testing some slight modifications – reducing maximum gain and maximizing undistorted…
All articles from the Bad Screamer series As usual, modelling germanium transistor circuits can only go this far, what you actually get in reality can be different from the simulation. Also, this is about putting components into their unusual modes of functioning: getting a pleasant to the ear distortion can’t…
