Look how many of that last batch of Meshuggahs are sitting at dealers unsold... but since the dealers were dumb enough to buy them I'm sure Fortin doesn't care lol

Yeah I was somewhat interested 3 years ago or whenever this was announced but zero interest in screwing around with a $4k preorder... or spending $4k for this amp honestly

Could one of you modders just start offering the girth/grind as an optional feature so we can end all the Fortin talk around here lol

I was hoping my Larry would be ready by the time the evil pumpkins is released.

IIRC one of the controls uses a cathode follower after the first gain stage so could be a fun option to play around with on a traditional Jose where you have an unused V1b stage on an added tube...

 

[FourT6and2]

Would need to see a confirmed schematic of what those controls are. But I don't think it would be hard to do once confirmed.

 

[WarHed]

Yeah, girth control is a cathode follower driving a large/bass cap and a small/tight cap, and a volume control that blends in the bass cap in parallel with the tight cap. Grind control is essentially a variable bright cap somewhere in the circuit. All trivial stuff

 

[technomancer]

FFS I'll just post it already lol This was redrawn from a combined service schematic for the Randall 50w amps IIRC, this is the first few gain stages from the Satan

I remember reading about this whole fiasco a good while back, but it wasn't this in-depth.
