Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

Friends? No. I'm allergic to insincerity. There's also no apology for me to accept, but that's neither here nor there. Civility? I'm civil as is actually merited. I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to pick a fight, or how you could perceive how you framed an unnecessary lecture as anything but t...

Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

It wasn't bickering and calling it such legitimizes unacceptable behavior. It was a one sided trollsault.

Someone can call me when this is over.

Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

May I humbly suggest that there has been a rather innocent misunderstanding? While there are no do-overs in real life, here in the cyber-net it is possible to delete the posts that led to this. Maybe you two can back up, do that, and let this pass? C'mon fellas. Someone has to go first. Just do it....

Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

Maybe it's a generational thing, or a cultural thing, but I find what you're doing incredibly rude. I'll keep this short so you don't have to quote much, split it into seventeen blocks of text, and pontificate much more.

Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

Shane, thanks for another option with a part number! for something like the trem it'd probably be overkill (my semi-informed opinion) but those sound like they'd be ideal for a reverb-driver solution if you had an amp already set up for tube driven reverb but needed to save the tube.

Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

RG I'm not sure why you're setting up your post as contrarian as you're agreeing with almost everything I've said. To clarify: I was saying that adding protection zeners and gate stoppers was still necessary--but that's adding onto a circuit, not modifying, making a tube-to-sand conversion easier. G...

Re: fender harmonic vibrato with MOSFETs

i haven't spent time searching the ixys ones RG pointed out (depletion mode, like the lnd150 just with better ratings). I'd be tempted to use lnd150 (or those ixys) for things that looked like gain stages, and irf820 (or some other enhancement mode) for things that look like cathode followers. just ...
