Title: Chunk Chunk 18V
Post by: Migs42 on October 23, 2012, 08:44:33 PM
Just wondering if anyone has tried running Chunk Chunk at 18V and if it's possible. Just finished mine and it sounds awesome! Thanks.

Should be possible. It may result in additional gain....although I've never tried it. You may find it necessary to swap one or two JFETs out for 2n5457...maybe Q1.

It'd result in less clipping, the FETs bias point will mean they have more signal to work with i'da thunk.
