Baja Ampeg SVT Bass Amplifier

Original FSB thread and schematic available here.
I've put the Mid Freq switch components on a separate board to make it easier to box it.

  1. Baja is certainly belting a few out over at FSB!

  6. Anyone care to comment on the differences between this layout vs Baja's Rev2 over at FSB?

    I've been looking at both, and quite honestly, they both look easy enough to build!

  9. It's very hardware for me to find The 1u18 capacitor, anyone knows where i can find?

    1. None of the other components have that tight of a tolerance: I mean, try finding a coil with 1% tolerance. So 1u2 will likely be precise enough.
      I tried some 1u2 capacitors on a tester and one was almost 1u18...

  10. I need to learn how to edit. However, the freestompboxes rev1 version shows you need A50K pots for bass and treble. In you schem you show A5K pots, which is right?

    1. I gather "Rev1" means the 010418 drawing, and "Rev 2" is the later 050418 drawing. The earlier drawing shows 100kA pots for Bass and Treble, and the later shows 50kA pots. It's a fair bet that the pots are intended to be 50kA and Alex's layout has a typo. :)

  11. I also would like to know which is right between A5K and A50K pots.

  12. I know this is an old thread but any help would be greatly appreciated! Im getting a constant high pitch sound from my treble, so much that the ultra high switch is pretty much unusable. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

  13. What is CLR in the layout?

    1. Current limiting resistor for the led

      4.7k is usually a safe bet!

  14. This should be able to take 12v though, should it, as long as the caps are rated 25v and over?

    1. Yes no problem, I think the ICs can handle a 36V swing so as long as the caps are up to the job it'll work fine

  15. Does anyone else have a noticeable drop in volume when switching the 'Ultra Low' on?
