So I set out on a great adventure as this build proved to be more difficult than I initially thought. [Array][Array] After having finished it I rocked it before I boxed it. No sound. Nothing. Even after some thorough debugging I couldn't figure out what could be possibly wrong. So I shelved it.

Used the layout from Dirtbox Layouts. [Array] This one caught my attention because of the mosfet parts (CA3240EZ, BS170). Good challenge to fit it in a 1590B with four pots and a switch. That was bound to go wrong of course. text/html 2026-05-05T16:28:54+00:00 jeremy (jeremy@undisclosed.example.com) https://monasfx.com/about/me?rev=1777998534&do=diff About me Bought my first real effect when I was 15 or 16, so that must've been at the end of the eighties of the last century. It was an Ibanez MT10 Mostortion. Not sure why I bought specifically that one, I think because it was on sale at Timmer Muziek for like 120 Gulden which is something around €60. It sounded great with my cheap Avora amp and when I got myself a Marshall JCM900 half stack it sounded great too. I even bought a spare one on eBay for I think €90. Then I switched to old London… text/html 2026-05-05T15:10:58+00:00 jeremy (jeremy@undisclosed.example.com) https://monasfx.com/mods/vox_night_train?rev=1777993858&do=diff Vox Night Train The Vox Night Train NT15, an 18-watt EL84 powered amp head. This one belongs to my wife. It suffers from the fizzy decay issue. Did some mods but no real improvements, amp only started to sound worse so I reversed most of the mods.

It was sounding distorted on all channels when I bought it. Replacing the output tubes did the trick. It came with a quartet of old RFC/Mullard/Philips tubes from the 1960's. In this case these old tubes didn't add any mojo, they only made the amp sound worse. A former owner had an extra preamp module installed on the amp. This was well done, looks tidy and clean but I might remove it in the future, personally I don't need an extra c… text/html 2025-04-12T13:56:35+00:00 jeremy (jeremy@undisclosed.example.com) https://monasfx.com/?image=mods%3Avox_ac30_serial.jpg&ns=mods&rev=1744466195&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="https://monasfx.com/_media/mods/vox_ac30_serial.jpg?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=606df9" alt="vox_ac30_serial.jpg" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2025-03-18T18:21:37+00:00 jeremy (jeremy@undisclosed.example.com) https://monasfx.com/links/eupedals?rev=1742322097&do=diff EU Pedals List of guitar effect pedal builders and manufacturers from the EU.
