F5 Turbo Circuit Boards

[UKToecutter]

I was thinking.

In theory one could use the V3 Input and Output boards for an V2 as well, just by populating 2 Mosfets instead of 4....

What a good idea.

I sugested that a couple of pages ago, didn't seem to generate much interest at the time.

Does this make any sense?

However I said that thinking the initial 1 board version would be abandoned. I do prefer the current v2 version of a single board per channel with all the necessary circuitry, it makes more sense if building a v2 stereo. I would keep that option, I would foresee quite some interest in that version.

MASantos,

Yes, I wasn't thinking of dropping it. I just thought that some might choose the flexibility.

Spoil sport ....... Now is it superior to a BA2...?

Too close to F5cv already available from DIY store ......

Andy:

What's not to love about this opportunity? I'd like to update my interest in the V3 option to include 8 of the output boards, 4 of the first stage boards and 4 of the power supply boards (instead of the order previously submitted).

Many, many thanks,
Scott

Then just add a second jumper for more outputs. 2 or 4 at a time, or like BA-Complimentary specs 3 at a time, and get's universal spacing. My vote is not for seperate N and P channel board.

All these options are very interesting. One could always build V3 with a point-to-point wired output stage. For those who don't want to there's output boards.

You could just include two holes in each of the rails in the middle of the board, with some space in between. those building with 4 output transistors would do nothing, those building with only 2, would cut the traces. The holes would allow joining the board again if someone whishes to change their build.

Would just require solder pads, not holes.
