Blue Plate Special
Simple NPN germanium booster that looks like a nice addition.... From the Dragonfly schematic archive.
Built it yesterday as I has an ac127 around. What can I say? When cranked beyond 12:00 produces a nice distortion, not as bright as one would imagine. Stacking it against AMZ mini booster (I built mine with 2 2sk170) , Ge first, creates a very nice and balanced overdrive. I do like it a lot. Thanks for posting.
Just wondering- changes to a PNP Version would be inverting the electros
Call this verified. A rangemaster without the sharp bite you sometimes get. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of germanium in the morining, it sounds like.......rock!
Excellent, thanks for verifying

Yes. Reverse electrolytics. Ground is ground and supply must then be -9V.
