TG5 Gristleizer Pre-Amplifier
The Gristleizer Pre-Amplifier is a new addition
to the existing circuity of Roy Gwinn's "Guitar Effects Pedal" design.
After Chris Carter's suggestion of a guitar pre-amplifier for use with
the rest of the Gristleizer series, the TG5 came into being. Based upon ,
Roy Gwinn has designed a pre-amplifier with a high quality VCA back-end
which allows for any external audio source to become fully integrated
into a Eurorack system.
The Guitar or Line input is firstly fed through one FET stage of the
pre-amplifier, and then into a super-clean THAT VCA, the direct output
of which is available at the Clean output. This source is then fed
through two more FET amplification stages and a tone section (featuring
the typical Bass, Mid and Treble controls found on many guitar amps) to
the Master output. Bite and Boost controls allow for further control
over the tone of the input signal.
An RMS detector (found as part of the THAT VCA) is employed as an
envelope follower, as well as a gate detector. The Sensitivity control
allows the user to set how the RMS detector reacts to the incoming
signal's level. Access to the THAT VCA's Gain control input allows the
two Envelope outputs to be used as control sources for the pre-amplifier
itself, turning the module into a dynamic compressor (Inverted
Envelope) or expander (Normal Envelope).
