Working on a S/P Dlator that is based on Tom's layout and Bluefendermanblues schematic. I have already built this circuit and it works very well as a standalone…so thanks guys. This will repurpose an old Bogen mic amp.
Thanks Mike for the PT, and thanks to Stevearinio for ' stuff '. MM you rock. Mark for info mania - thanks.
It will have the bypass switch as well as the S/P select. I am only using one bright switch.
My contribution to the Dlator S/P idea. Its completed. Need to tweak voltages slightly but its real close. I can go series or parallel with a bypass as well. Bright is at 270pf on the master. I'll put in on my ODS tomorrow.
With only ~30V on the cathode of the driver stage there is no Vh-k issue. It might help reduce 60Hz hum, but I think proper lead dress and grounding are probably more important.
My .2c fwiw Angelo.
I tried the serial/parallel Dlator as kindly provided by TAG members but it never sounded right.
I rewired the Dlator to Dumble specs and floated in the FX with a Suhr Mini Mix 2. Finally I got the sound I wanted - with a serial Dlator and the parallel effected MM.
I hope you can get it right but I would bear this in mind

I built the S/P model and I agree as I never dug the parallel mode. In the end, it's hard to beat the straight original config and the 2290.
Even though I designed the "Claus-u-lator" parallel version you are referring to, I have to agree with rogd and tonemerc, in regards to the original serial d-lator to sounding better.
In order to reduce the complexity of my setup, I have built in the serial loop in my amps use Suhr Minimix II (clone) - works great. The parallel version sounds a bit sterile in comparison IMO.
