Clear Jose schematic and Layout 430k v1a version

I copied this from a thread in the Mods and Restoration forum.

Aldrip? Do you mean Aldrich mod? Nice clear schematic! This one has 430k on V1a Plate, and I've seen other Jose Schematics with the 330k there....When going with increased plates I like to run a v1a plate bypass cap ala Caswell AFD to help with any fizzies. This might be fun to draw a complete layout of. Here's a partial somone drew up of the tone board

I've seen it with the 430K but I've also seen a 100K there. The 430K is known as the Cameron/Jose if I remember correctly. The 100K was on a schematic labeled "Low Gain Jose"

Yep it says Jose Cameron in the corner of the Schematic. http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6035/4znl.png" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think this is what the Chupacabra is a copy of as well, but might have 475k v1a plate..

I've seen other takes on the Jose 330k v1a where someone has just added a 220k in series with the 100k v1a and put a 470pf just over the 100k, but not the whole thing. And upped v1b plate to 120k. I think that was a Jetcity 20watter, but looked just like the sloppy Jose schematic everyone's seen a gazillion times.

For over the top an extra tube added in front of the 320k/470pf with the same setup for 4 gain stages before the cathode follower which what I'm shooting for with that super trem.

So first stage Extra tube... .68uf/2.7k....330k/500pf
2nd stage V1a .68uf/2.7k.....330k/500pf
3rd stage v1b .68uf/2.7k ......100k
4th stage v2a 25uf/820.....
To cathode follower

Here's a layout of what I'm talking about. It's not complete. http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9967/joseuq.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just picturr another tube with those components on the little board hooked to the a side, and cascaded to v1a.

V1a and extra tube a side can go to separate input jacks for and old school a/b switch..
