Title: Fat Egg Pants Head
Post by: madbean on November 05, 2016, 01:52:06 AM
Still working on using up old enclosures. This one got a Fat Pants and EggHead. The Fatpants is vanilla. The Egghead was modded quite a bit. I like the Gainster just fine but I wanted to do something different with this one. So, I did a bunch of mods to make it more like the ZenDrive but with no Tone control. Just Vol, Gain and Contour (Presence).

Mods:
C3 100n
Pres 10kB
D1 Bat46
D2, D3 2n7000
Vol 100kA

The FP runs at 24v, so I tapped off the 18v rail on it to supply the Egghead.

Overall it sounds very cool. At this highest Pres settings it gets a bit trebly but that goes away with a slight turn. Running the FP with just the boost 1/4 up to slam the EggHead makes for quite a thick overdrive!
