50K Rev Log Pot

Image result for potentiometer mod
Here is the curve when using a 1M resistor and a 250K Lin Pot.

Rtotal = R1×R2/(R1+R2)

R1 = 1M
R2 = 250K Linear




Headphone Amp Project Update

Lately I have made some progress in building some cabinet simulators for my headphone amp.

The headphone amp is the mxr headphone amp.
I gutted a DC power supply and used the original switch and lamp jewel.
The pots are mounted to control A/B input (plan to add a 2 channel mixer) and master volume.

So far I have built the Simple CabSim and the AMT S1 Legend CabSim.
Next I would like to build the Marshall, Condor and Multi CabSim and bundle them all into a seperate box.
I picked up some Buffalo Routers for 100 yen each and plan to gut them to use as the housing.

Below is an excellent reference to cabinet simulators.


Also found the pedalboard design a great reference for my own builds.
