Ceriatone Express fat/gain switch

Post by M Fowler »

I decided to use the bright switch for a fat/gain switch here is the info a TAG member post years ago.

Remove the 510pf mica cap for a 47-50pf mica for much less treble.

Add the circuit to the board and wire to the DPDT mini switch that was the bright switch not needed.

This mod adds low gain down-center normal-up more gain.

The normal center position is straight high gain Express.

See version A8a Trainwreck Express Blues Plus schematic

Thanks for sharing Mark.
I've been trying some different flavors on my latest Rocket Reverb.
This looks like it's a keeper. :P

I tried both wiring methods and either one works.

There was a little popping on the A8a schematic version compared to the note version.
