It was supposed to just be a superlead. I was screwing around with parallel staging up front, on a dual gang pot, which was pretty fun, then I added another hole upfront and had it as Avenger spec, as I've built that into a 6V6 organ amp a while back, and absolutely love that amp. Its one of the few I've never molested. Then it became the 4 stage switcher, based on the Marsholdano, and now it's a great test bed for 2,3 and 4 stage ideas.

Hey Lou, found this for the "s" in the peaker equation.

This other thing will also help to define how to use that equation, because then you have to figure out what "j" is...

This helps me, at least. Hope it can help others.

Smokebreak, this is kind of random but on your "MAGNATONE W/FS1205 VARISTORS: real Vibrato" the warbling tone makes the tube i had inserted into my eardrum resonate. lol. It's actually a strangely pleasant feeling.

Am I going crazy? Let me ask Miles :D

Yeah mine is in my left ear. I was playing around with a signal generator hooked into a small SS combo the other day to determine what freqencies cause my ear to act up. it was kinda fun, lol.
