DIY universal guitar preampJul 29, 2010
I designed this DIY guitar pre-amplifier for a great sound flexibility. It is inspired by the Sansamp products, and is based on a modified BSIAB II distortion stompbox. I added a pre- and post-equalizer to enable many sound possibilities. The post-equalizer works also as a tunable Cabinet Simulator. Hence, its modules fully reproduce the typical response of a traditional guitar amplifier. This preamp will be used for recording or DI applications. It is still a prototype, though I'll build a final version soon. All songs are recorded with an Epiphone Korina V (stock pickups), through the preamp and to my PC. Enjoy!

Aguilar OBP-1 Bass Guitar PreampJul 29, 2010
I installed an Aguilar OBP 1 onboard bass guitar preamp based on the 2 volume, 2 tone control schematic. I had it wired with a blend pot. I tried 2 different blend pots. Two volumes just works better than a vol and blend on any bass with passive pickups regardless of the preamp. With 18db of boost on each band, turn the tone controls all the way down to start. That's a ton of boost on each band. You'll probably never turn either one up past halfway. Use 25k pots for the active tone controls. 500k or 250k potentiometers are for passive circuits... 500k volume knobs on passive pickups, for example. No capacitors needed. Tone pots do not need to have lugs grounded. jaydavee videos are by John David Briley
