Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Actually it's a JM into OD rather than an ODS.

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Nice! I'm looking forward to see how it turns out. What are you doing to buffer/attenuate the output level? I suppose one could build in something like a D-lator into a preamp like this. Or just keep the output the same as a complete amp's fx out.
I'm toying with the idea of creating a standalone preamp that includes an overdriven phase inverter that drives something like an interstage transformer. So, I find your build very interesting.

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Looks really nice!
I am also interested in hearing how it turns . I really like the sound of JM style amps. Currently working on another 50 watter.
Will you use 5 preamp tubes like the John Mayer does? Or are you building it with no reverb.
Cheers

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
The Master Volume will control the output signal.
No reverb since this is a preamp for studio use and I have rack mount tube reverb plus plenty of other reverb effects.
Designing while building.

Looks great Mark
What transformer you using?
Where is the chassis from?

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Using the TR-PW-13 transformer which after going over spec's is not going to work for 2 12ax7's so may add additional filament transformer.
Chassis from Markertek.com it's a Middle Atlantic EC-1-6 inch deep econo rackmount 19" chassis 1 RU. $51.75

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Some continued work but trying to figure out a good circuit isn't easy for this dumb shit.
OD trimmer used when no loop?

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Looking great, very clean! Will there be a switch installed to go from the clean channel to the Overdrive channel or is it the JM straight into the Overdrive and all one channel?

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Looks cool Mark
No Relays makes it a little less complicated
Maybe 100k on front panel for OD trigger?

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
thanks man I'm trying.
That push/pull pot is the switch for clean/OD.
Looked at an old #094 Schematic and removed the power section maybe that will tell me what to do.

Slow process since I don't work on it very often and should design before I attempt to build.

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Looks good Mark! What is the spec for the PT? Looks like a nice little unit.
Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Martin the PT is under rated for what I have here, two 12ax7 tubes but I'm going to try it anyway and if I have to will source another PT that will fit in the 1 space chassis.

Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
The one in the PDF (Button) is Heyboer, and yes looks a too light; you need about twice that rating on both filament and HT. The one in your pic looks different- has a Mag Components-type part number??
Re: Hybrid ODS rack preamp
Yeah I swore I had found a different correct size PT but with more amps for two tubes but the number on my PT is the same as the button PT I bought.
