Don't tell Chris Hurley. It's a Hi Octane with some parts left out. :lol:

Hi-Octane

So it's a Hi-Octane without the master volume and extra gain control?

Yeah. Probably a little closer to a P1. It's been ages since I've looked at either schematic.

A lot of guys bitch about the Class 5's lack of headroom. A lot of guys bitch that it doesn't have enough gain. Can't have both at that price from something like that. A lot of guys bitch about the lack of master volume. Really, it's a one trick pony. Crank it up, stick an overdrive in front of it and there's your trick.
