Guitar Amplifier Mk II Rod Elliott 100W

The Circuit is shown in Figure 1, and has a few interesting characteristics that separate it from the "normal" - assuming that there is such a thing. This is simple but elegant design, that provides excellent tonal range. The gain structure is designed to provide a huge amount of gain, which is ideal for those guitarists who like to get that fully distorted "fat" sound.

However, with a couple of simple changes, the preamp can be tamed to suit just about any style of playing. Likewise, the tone controls as shown have sufficient range to cover almost anything from an electrified violin to a bass guitar - The response can be limited if you wish (by experimenting with the tone control capacitor values), but I suggest that you try it "as is" before making any changes.

the preamp is just as usable for bass or electric piano as for rhythm or lead guitar. A couple of changes that you may consider are ...

* Delete the clipping diodes (unless fuzz bass/piano is something you want, of course). If these are removed, then the output should be taken directly from the Master output pin (M-OUT in Figure 1), so leave out / change the following ...
o Delete R14, and D1-D4
o Delete Q1 and associated components (C14, C15, R15, R16, R17)
o Delete VR5
o Change R13 from 4.7k to 100 ohms

You may also want to experiment with the tone control caps - I shall leave it to the builder to decide what to change, based on listening tests. C3 and C8 may be increased to 4.7uF to provide an extended bass response. If the gain is too high, simply increase R11 (10k would be a good starting point and will halve the gain).

Radio one Transistor without Electric

Radio one Transistor without Electric

Experts and amateurs have been Experimenting with radios without batteries since the wireless communication started. In many designs we've seen radios that operate without power, but all are known to use the diode 1N34. (Crystal Radio). Although significant improvements have increased the sensitivity and selectivity of these system circuits, Performances were limited until new techniques have emerged.

Here we have the first transistor radio that works without batteries, it is powered by random electric fields are everywhere in the atmosphere. These circuits are relatively cheap to manufacture, have more volume and better reception from the crystal radios. This circuit is a medium wave receiver and attaches easily to frequencies from 500Khz to 11Mhz. To get good results in the reception of radio stations, we should give great importance to the ground and the antenna.
To listen to distant and weak stations we have to use a battery 9volt parallel with the capacitor C4 with it's positive side between R2 and C4.

The coils are in the frequency of 500-1500Khz is tight and closely wrapped.
The coils are in frequency of 1.5-11Mhz is more tighter and more closely wrapped.
