Updated Trainwreck Documents

Post by Ron Worley »

I've posted consolidated copies of all the relevant documents for all three main Trainwreck flavors in the files section to make it easier to find things.

I see the change to the layout of the presence circuit. Is the schematic correct? (The scratchy version is easier to build.)

The Layout is taken from actual Liverpool amps, so yes.

Then the schematic is wrong....wait, where did it go?

The two clear Liverpool gut shots have the 1N4007 protection strings. Ginger does not. Maybe they should be included as optional? I would spec all the diodes as UF4007's, but that just me.

Ginger was the very first TW built, I think I read. It has lots of differences- 3 switches instead of the normal Power and Standby, and who knows what else.

Our notes were taken from other Liverpools, which were consistent among themselves..

I'm not saying that we're 100% perfect here, but it's been reviewed as correct by those who know...

Updated all BOM's with more accurate information, particularly the Rocket Transformer info.

I also redrew the Express in Visio so that it is much clearer than the existing drawing that probably originated from Nic at Ceriatone. I have converted it into a PDF for easy viewing.

Please let me know if you find any errors that need to be corrected.

I think the third sw was a half power sw.
