You know, I have two of those boards here, I should really man up and try to actually start a build
So looks like a ValveStorm project chassis, if so did you need to do any drilling for the board or transformer mounting?
the NFB of the 50 deluxe kind of addresses this as it has adjustable resistance (response) post the thump control adding brightness similar to the variable Dark switch on the CCV. I kept it simple and use a 3 way response switch. While I still don’t use the SAT it’s much useable, I just have the diode clipping thing covered with the CCV cloneCrazyNutz":3l9mb48w said:psychodave":3l9mb48w said:Cool project.
Why not add the saturation switches in a different location ala Cameron. The Friedman location makes the amp sound dull and lifeless... which is why lots of people say the never use it.
Yeah, I agree the SAT clipping is not something I like on Friedman amps. But there is a way to fix it to make it sound killer, get rid of the darkness, very CCV like. If you use the Cameron style depth circuit. Scott stumbled on to that one.
Tossed around the idea of making the "SAT" switch a "Cameron" switch instead. Flip it on, and it engages the diodes, and changes the depth circuit over to CCV style.

to my ears the sat switch is just pure fizz

No, it's not a kit, you'll have to source all the parts, and do the research.
The board is from a member on slocloneforum, he's in Italy.
