PL 700 II REPLACEMENT MAIN VOLUME POTS

[WOPL Sniffer]

Kinda strange after 1 thousand WOPL's have been built that now the ones with volume pots are no good.

 

[mlucitt]

but what about taking DC off the WOAD Cylon meters Phoenix Connecters?

The WOA Rev G1 Control Boards have regulated +15VDC. The board might not mind giving up 10 mA to a LED with a 1500 Ohm 1/2W resistor in series.

Love my WOPLs with pots. Just striving to make them better. I really have no good reason to keep pots for function, and since the amps are so highly modified from origonal, losing the knobs doesn't bother me. Think the Series 2 will look awesome with the right LEDs.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I bet you can't tell the difference in sound.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Well, you can send me the handles, knobs and face plates and all the unneeded shit. Your amps will now look like ass. Try selling a WOPL built in a fuckin shoebox because everything causes distortion which can't be heard.

Mark, that's a good idea, but man, even knowing how Joe has over engineered those boards, I'd be very hesitant to do that. Going to see what's available on the WOAD Cylon boards first. I know they have a big regulator on them. Might or might not have time to look at that this weekend with all the holiday going on.
I did order those resistors and big caps you recommended for the PL2000 turn on thump. Much to do and so little time.

I agree.

Yeah, sounds brilliant

Naw, I like the handles, the old chassis I straighten, and the old scratched up face plates. I now have a 400 S2 face plate that's actually bent from the amp being dropped. I'll straighten it and use it.

It all creates distortion. Get rid of it.

I’d like to put pointy feet on my 400 and a slab of granite underneath

Granite=Distortion

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I prefer Anti-Distortion, which I add in equal amounts to counter the regular distortion (+ 10%)...

 

[mr_rye89]

What material does anti distortion?

 

[grapplesaw]

George find the power elsewhere. leave the control board to the sound path

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Send a self addressed stamped envelope and $5 to PO box 4569 Billy Bob Way, Buttplugg Id 66707

 

[NavLinear]

The anti-matter kind.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I found the material in a field in New Mexico. Some dirty little town near Roswell

HUH???

 

[grapplesaw]

HUH???

No takie the power for the LED’s replacing the volume controls from the control board. Bad idea.
is that stil a Huh Perry or a bit clearer
