@@TheToneGeek Thanks! I saw the one for the Pew Pew Preamp, but it doesn't have the diodes you mention. I'm curious to see what they're doing because you say they're at the input and output which I find a little intriguing, since what you usually see is just one polarity protection diode at the power supply stage.
@@wertherellerbrock ooo yes yes yes. I believe they are esd devices for the jfet. Alembic themselves mentioned somewhere that it's for plastic pick guards that can generate static which would blow the jfet
@@TheToneGeek Oooh, I see! Interesting. I've heard about taking ESD precautions with MOSFETS but not with JFETS. Then again, it can't hurt to have them diodes, right? 😄 Thank you! Loved your webpage and your work BTW. Regards!
Yes. I documented a few examples on my site. It's less scary once you see them, especially the Fisher backplate design.. www.thetonegeek.com/single-post/the-alembic-strat-o-blaster-the-preamp-that-helped-shape-the-grateful-dead-s-sound
Prototype sticker can be purchased here www.thetonegeek.com/shop
Nice! Maybe share a schematic of this updated version of the Alembic Blaster? 😊
I got ya! On my site www.thetonegeek.com/

But it needs a battery?

@@TheToneGeek thanks! I had bad experience with battery in my music man….so i am not a fan of it
