not sureTopic: Introduction
Greetings everyone in the DIY community. Welcome to The Illuminist! In this blog I'm going to try and keep track of all my builds so that others might learn from my many mistakes. I will also attempt to share as much knowledge and info as comes spilling out of my head when I tilt it too much.
These pages are dedicated to DIY Electronics - specifically circuits for musical instruments. The primary focus is going to be on pedals and amplifiers; though I might just put whatever. My goal is to try to put together something as informative and interesting as the great community of Japanese DIY blogs... there's some really great information to be found there!
Another thing I plan on focusing on is vacuum tube circuits. I've been a fan of valve technology since I was in high school and got my first tube amp - an old Silvertone 1482; and when I got the amp it had a broken fuseholder, so my first tube amp also became my first tube project! In the approximately 14 years since that time, I've repaired, built, and modified many tube amps of all different sizes and styles. My favorite circuit to work with the the Soldano SLO100 circuit; it has been the basis for many popular high-gain amps and there's really alot to work with as far as variations on the basic theme of that circuit.
Anyone who needs to contact me for any reason, please send email to: soulsonic1978 @ lycos.com
Thanks, and please use the information presented here, "wisely"...
