Title: DeadRinger independent boost?
Post by: brand0nized on October 12, 2012, 01:39:05 AM
I know the DeadRinger isn't really around anymore, but is there a way to mod this board to make the boost section work independently from the rest of the circuit, kind of like the JHS mod on the Fulldrive 2.

I'd need more info on the JHS mod...

Basically, the problem with that is that the Boost in the Fulldrive isn't really a boost - it's actually the a second pot in the feedback loop of the Overdrive section.

My bet is that what the JHS mod does is replace the switch and knob with a boost either after or before the other circuit, which allows it to be independent. If that's the case, then simply build the Deadringer without the Boost switch or pot, then add in a simple Mosfet boost or whatever boost you'd like either before or after.

What I'm saying is, you can't really make the boost independent, but you can add a boost instead.

Yeah, JHS adds their own boost circuit in. Thanks for the help!
