Insanity Box

6/2/2000 10:20 PM
Firefly	Insanity Box I've just built an insanity box and Whoa!!!!! I ducked down to turn it on or it woulda taken my head off! (grin folks) I'm wondering what can be done to adjust the effect of the internal trim pots. Each pot is at the ouput of its respective section so, could I put added resistance inline in front of the trimmer??? What other ideas are there about lowering the levels?? For example, with all the trim pots set at about 25% I can barely get the drive control past 30% before it completely saturates. The sound gets so distorted and fuzzy that It doesn't sound like it could get any fuzzier. Ideas??? BTW Aron, could you give me a break down of what each section does on its own???? Thanks, Firefly
