Hi, I am currently working on an amp kit from Tube Town Germany. The Amp is called the "JIM" and is basically a Marhsall Class 5 with some tweaks. I`ve already performed a lot of mods on it, to get it sound right and currently I wanted to implement some zener diode clipping.
However, I don`t get any real clipping so maybe some of you guys can tell me, where the problem is?
I did include a schemtic of the amp and the diode circuit. My current idea for now is, that the signal at the cathode follower is not strong enough to get any clipping of the diodes, but I could be wrong. I did use 20V zeners and went down to 10V.
So what would be the solution, simply going down with the zener voltage or am I missing something here?
Cheers.
