Midboost Footswitchable?

Post by jazzcat »

Is there anybody who tried to make the Midboost footswichable?
I own a Ceriatone Overtone HRM 100 an would like this function but I don't know how to realize.
Thanks

All you need to do is change the switch to a relay. It's a great feature.

Hi ,yes with a relay.
In all my amps I removed the front boost switch and it's only in footswitch pedal .
but you can leave both.

Not really. You can leave the switch to activate the relay, but once you turn it on the footswitch is inactive.

The bluesmaster schematic has a footswitchable mid boost.

Hi, I have that option on the foot-switch with the toggle on the back. I have played with the values for the mid-boost and currently I have .002uf on the board and 470pf on the relay which when kicked in is 380uf.

Thank you!
It's great and will help me much.
I think that the midboost makes the Amp really flexible.
Clean and in overdrive, therefore, why not on a footswitch.

I don't have mid-boost on my tweaked D'Lite.
Do you use it? How does it sound?
Difference to the PAB?

This is a simulation of the skyliner stack with the various boosts.

Markus, did you simulate tonestack alone?

I can't get that high end rolloff considering tonestack only, see my simulation.

Is that from a Spice run?

Mark, what do the numbers on top of the graph signify?
