We have recreated the circuits in each pedal staying true to the original but added switching options for additional tone shaping. We have kept both buffers that were used in the original designs in order to replicate the exact interaction between the two circuits.
The Gravity overdrive is divided into a side A (left) and a side B (right), separated by the order toggle switch in the middle which is used to flip the internal order of the effects and hence the signal path from guitar to amp .
side A features the TS10 circuit with externaI knobs for DRIVE, TONE, LEVEL and a two position toggIe switch IabeIed LOWS. The Iows switch changes the bass response of the circuit.
The side B features the KIon Centaur-circuit with externaI knobs for GAIN, TREBLE, OUTPUT and a two position toggIe switch IabeIed CLIPPING. The cIipping switch toggIes between a pair of germanium or schottky cIipping diodes.
Both sides can be used separateIy or stacked.
TRS spIit: Besides using the two sides of Gravity in seriaI mode, either A - > B or A < - B,
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXTERNAL ORDER TOGGLE SWITCH MUST BE IN UP POSITION A < - B
Features:
side A (left)
- Replica of the TS10 audio circuit including the three transistor buffer circuit.
- RC4558 Operational A mplifier
- External two position lows toggle switch for extended low frequency response
- Original Toshiba 1s1588 silicon diodes as in the original TS10 JP
side B ( R ight)
- Replica of the Klon CENTAUR-circuit.
- External two position Clipping switch to choose between a pair of Germanium
- or a pair of Schottky clipping diodes.
- The germanium diodes we use are NOS original russian NOS D9B.
External ORDER switch to choose in which order the signal passes through the two circuits.
The Gravity overdrive is built using carefully selected top shelf components:
- VISHAY 1% metalfilm resistors
- WIMA MKP10, MKS4 and FKP2 film capacitors
- no electrolytes in the audio circuit.
- VIMEX sealed potentiometers
- TAIWAY toggle switches
- PURE TONE MULTI -CONTACT 1/4" JACK
- Dimension: 115 mm x 95 mm x 35 mm
- Power supply: DC9V 100MA,tip negative polarity
