Where to get D style FET board? and question about it

[peckjed]

Hey all, I need to source a ODS FET board for my Brown Note D'lite - anyone know where I can purchase one?

Also, I am looking to add it to a toggle switch since the d'lite doesnt have two guitar inputs. I came across the below image (from here https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31084) Would I be able to implement this and put the 'foot switch XLR' on a mini toggle instead? Just wondering if anyone has done this with success! Thankis.

Sure. You don't need the relay either then? If not, see the schematic diagram (.pdf) at the link you posted above. Just replace the relay contacts with a DPDT switch and leave the level trimmer on the FET Board. Beyond that you are looking for someone to sell you a PCB? You have the option of making one, or making an eyelet board using the layout drawing. Latest version is here: https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 08#p365408

I got my hands on a FET board and getting ready to install it into the amp. I am having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around hooking up the FET board to a DPDT - Im not gonna lie reading schematics is not the easiest for me. Could you by chance elaborate a bit?

Like this. I'd mount the 1M on the switch.

Thank you! while im sitting here at work, I whipped up this very rough drawing. Does this seem right?

One last question - should I be using shielded wire between the v1 and the DPDT as well as the DPDT and the input jack? or just the longer run between the DPDT and the input jack? I am planning on mounting the DPDT right in the back pretty much directly behind where the V1 is.

I would use shielded wire for any run longer than a few inches.
