Hi.

Another Melburnian here. I'm in the middle of a 'Rockster' build at the moment, it'd be good to get together and compare notes when we're done.

Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers

Hey Mark, gave your suggestions a go.... Wow its not bad at all mate.

I found it tightened the bottom end a bit and you can dial in quite a balanced tone whereas no particular frequency seems to stand out.

Good to hear!

I have built a lot of different styles of Rockets and modifying the circuit a little has been fun. I always seem find the need to add a bright switch :roll:

I like adding a boost switch on V1b adding a 10uf/25v e-cap or a SPDT switch and put a 10uf and 25uf option as a boost function.

A tone stack bypass option would be fun to try some time.
