Can I get similar sounds out of a D Lite if I were to build one of those comparing the D Lite to the ODS 124?
Re: A Collection of #124 Information (Schematics, Layout, etc.)
If you copy the #124 power supply and output section (ie four 6L6) then maybe it would be close. There is a lot of experience on these boards tweaking D Lites, but I don't think they wind up with values similar to #124.rfrakes331k wrote:Can I get similar sounds out of a D Lite if I were to build one of those comparing the D Lite to the ODS 124?

Yes, quite a difference from two to four 6L6 tubes warmed up.

Dumb question, but is there a bill of materials list for someone who wants to build a #124 clone? I was going to go through the schematic and write it all down, but if there is a list that would be great. I tried the search function but there were so many results I couldn't find it.

I don't think there is an exact #124 BOM, because it may not be of that much use, as there are many unobtainable parts. I built mine from the pictures and scattered notes.
There are, however, a number of similar BOM's out there.
In case you have trouble finding them, I have attached one. It is not accurate to #124, but it is similar and it could serve as a good starting point (ie check it against the schematic).

Wow...
I never thought I would get so much mileage out of those pics when I de-gooped 124, and Gil took the pictures. Amazing. I had a visit with 124 recently and retubed her...sounds very nice. Keep up the good work guys.

No thank you Billy.
The photos and details were priceless.

Comparing the layout to schem. Seems there is a mixup maybe with the ratio/level pots. They are reversed on the layout/schem. Shouldn't the ratio be first in the signal path then level? Also the values and tapers done correspond.
EDIT: Also the schem shows the FET section getting power from B+5 while I see on the layout it getting it from B+ 4. I am reading this wrong?

Re: A Collection of #124 Information (Schematics, Layout, etc.)
Hmmm... Agreed. Seems to me the labels on the 'Level' and 'Ratio' pots got switched. The FET board power is messed up also - swapping the cap+ and V1 plate wires with the V2 plate wire on the terminal strip lugs would straighten this out I think.ChrisM wrote:Comparing the layout to schem.

Good pickup. I don't have the original Layout file, otherwise, I'd change it.odourboy wrote:Hmmm... Agreed. Seems to me the labels on the 'Level' and 'Ratio' pots got switched.

Can the current one be edit, or does anyone else have the original?ic-racer wrote:Good pickup. I don't have the original Layout file, otherwise, I'd change it.odourboy wrote:Hmmm... Agreed.

ODS Pot Mix-Up
I'm still trying to get this straight in my mind.
1) Ratio pot precedes Level pot, yes/no?
2) Ratio pot is 100K Lin, yes?
3) Level pot is 250 K Lin, yes? (Or audio taper if you prefer).
