Mk1/Mk2 differencies?

  • Hi Martin,

    I´ve got a Mk1 kit (and a Mk2 chassi!) that I haven´t built yet... But now´s the time to do it 8)

    I have ordered the footswitch opotion, and when doing so I also asked for the components for upgrading my kit to Mk2 specs.
    What I did receive was 3 resistors + 3 caps + a jack.

    When comparing the layout of the Mk1 mainboard:

    with the layout of the Mk2 mainboard:

    One can see that you are using different caps (Silver Mica?) as well as different resistors (mostly the green ones ;) )

    Could you please advice those of us that want to upgrade our Mk1 its to the 100% Mk2 specs, EXACTLY which caps/resistors to get!?

    Thanks :)

    /Peter

    Hi Peter,
    you've received the right parts. I don't care about colors of caps as long as they are the right polypropylene types and I also don't care about the color of resistors as long as they are the right metal film types ;) So the parts might look different, but physically (derived from, what a guitar amp needs) they are the same :)
    Regards,
    Martin

    OK Martin, so I´d better start building then ;)

    Yeah, that threw me as well, being an amp build newbie...I was thinking, 'Man, half of this stuff looks totally different to the ones in the pictures.

    I think Martin should stick a quick note in the build instructions...'Parts may appear different to what is shown.'
