Hi All,
I'm interested in putting together a basic distortion device for use in my home studio. I'd like to use the DIYRE JFT Class-A Transistor Colour. Info about the device is here:
JFT Class-A Transistor Colour
I've also attached a schematic.
One of the things that put me off these is that they require a host (either 500-Series or standalone) which are quite expensive. So I was thinking that a cheaper option would be to build my own power supply and use it that way. Would it be possible to power one of these from the phantom power on my mic preamp (a Warm Audio WA273-EQ)? If so, is there a schematic available anywhere for doing this (i.e. 48V to ±16V).
Cheers,
Chris
