I was surfing the other day and stumbled across this schematic, interesting take on a D'lator:

Kinda hi-Z on the send stage doncha think? Have you seen one of these? might be a good candidate for modding.

Have not actually seen one. Curious as to what transformer they used, the simple filtering and the 10 ohm ground lift.

Pretty cool... I especially like the 1M load on the output to the PI.. If that's where it goes.. The 250K Dlator output pot although it works ok always thought it was a bit on the low side... The 1M would help with the loading a bit!! A homeboy observation

One thing that might be valuable in the tweakers bag 'o tricks would be their use of 2 cathode resistors in series with only one bypassed. Has anyone experimented with this?

Here's a pretty crummy gut shot...

There is a member on this list that owns one, maybe he will pop in and comment on the VOX.

Damn, that VOX was only 99.95 and NO ONE bought it. Wish I have seen it, you can't build one from scratch for that price.

About

Was going to mention what someone else was selling basically the same thing for... But not going to get into all that..Hey you sell it for what you believe it's worth right..

The D'lator is essential in getting the typical D-sound we know form R. Ford and L. Carlton. Check out www.vanweelden.com This guy is building D'lator related stuff!!

As far as I understand the output impedance of a cathode follower is determined by the tube's transconductance only (see this link )http://www.freewebs.com/valvewizard/accf.html. So the send impedance should be the same as with the dumbleator.
