Can't you just take one half SOBOZ?
That way you get 2 amps out of same parts as 1 SOBOZ.

what's a SOBOZ?

halojoy · 29th November 2002, 12:00 AM

It is a variant of PASS "Bride Of Zen" design.
Called "Son Of Bride Of Zen"
First was Zen
Then the Son of Zen= SOZ
Then the Bride of Zen=BOZ
and then the Son Of the Bride of Zen=SOBOZ

What next? And when will this end?
Another constructor, Elliot, Elliot Sound Projects, tried to put an end to it and namned one of his amps DOZ=Death Of Zen
But without any success, although this is a good amplifier as well.
So "The Beat Goes On", more than ever before.

Hahaha...

If so, SOZ=SOBOZ¡¦?!?!

As far as I know,
Unbalanced: Zen and BOZ (Bride of Zen)
Balanced: SOZ (Son of Zen) and BOSOZ (Bride of Son of Zen).

I guess that Tone is thinking about BOSOZ...

I did some search and there is no such thing as
SOBOZ, yet

But BOSOZ is.
And grataku
was around when different namnes
of the balanced SOZ was starting to show up here.
BOZO and ISOZ(incarnation) was some suggestions.

An unbalanced Zen Daughter-in-Law
(BoSoZ) could be a simple common
source amp (the same as the Bride of Zen)
or it can be thought of as a source-follower
driving a common-gate stage.

It depends if you want to grab the inverting
output or the non-inverting output from the
BoSoZ.

I'd just build the regular Bride of Son of Zen
and use two RCA jacks on the output to have
it either way.

I thought ISOZ was the incestuous son of zen.
