How to build the F5

no frying , no Herr Mueller , sweetspottier

read F3 article

Zen Mod what is your point? I read F3 and ZM #8 articles. I am not talking about SE Class A JFET/MOSFET amp, but PP Class AB amp. To my knowledge FW hasn't designed such an amp yet, PassLabs did, several in fact. If I missed FW design or if this has been discussed in some other FX threads, pls point me to the thread, but F3 or ZM #8 is _not_ what I am looking for.
 
No problem, if you can point the page where this was discussed I would appreciate it. I want to have a lower bias but higher +- rails, that would make MOSFETs work in class AB switched mode, producing more power. I doubt that this can be done without having a new driver stage.
 
Stupid question, but its taking me way to long to search up the answer:

Where on the schematic does r35 and the led go? Can i use any led and a 50k trimmer pot to adjust the light to my taste? I like them dim. I´m making my ft p2p wired, and the picture of the board tells me to little.

Also the original schematic differs quite a lot from the one in the store now. What are the big difference in functionality?

Again, I know these questions are stupid, there is just to much irrelevant information out there.


Thanks!

There's even another different F5 schematic in the F5 Turbo manual which I think is the latest version.

Pot. P3 is added to tweak input symmetry for lowest distortion.

The input resistors R1&R2 are new values and configured differently. Thermistors TH1&TH2 are not connected to the rails. Not sure what those changes accomplished. Probably subtle differences.
 
That is what I´m talking about. Why are we doing this? Have searched for a while now. The blog only mentioned the cascoding and more output mosfets. I´m bulding the standard first.

Do you know any place in trondheim to get sheet aluminium and aluminium angles, by the way?
