Here is a very nice sounding distortion by Menatone.
I’ve drawn 2 layouts:
– with biasing resistors
– with biasing trimmers
I’ve also added a charge pump for the 18V required.
You can find the schematic on FSB’s original thread here.
Original info:
The Menatone None More Black is a homage to all of
their favorite high gain amplifiers. Amps with very German sounding
names and amps named after Big Rig fuel. While not based on any
specific amp, it is an amalgam of the best aspects of many amps rolled
up into one. The gain of the None More Black ranges from hot rodded 800,
to crazy, in your face, all out insanity.
The SUCK knob can take the mid range from all the way gone, to crazy
gobs of fat, vocal, goodness, while the PRES gives total control of the
high end. This deceptively simple arrangement gives a surprisingly
complete control of the tonal palette.
