Title: Jok3r X's Tight metal
Post by: Hangingmonkey on November 17, 2013, 04:25:52 PM
Theres been a few builds of the Tight Metal preamp and Jok3r X has done a great job on this, and kindly helped me out when I had some trouble with it.  Its a great project and tons of gain and the gate really keeps a lid on noise.   There's 2 extra boards in there, 1 is the road rage giving it 18v and the other is the cabsim although I prefer the direct sound.

As you can see I went a bit overboard on the shielded wires.  I wasnt sure which parts of the signal needed the shielding so I did all the ins and outs and all signals to switches apert from the gate. 

Oh, and the artwork for the borders and labels were shamelessly plagiarized from JokerX's Dragon Attack!
