  • Name that Circuit!

    Can anyone name the circuits that would go on these two boards? The first one looks close to a 5E3.

    Hard to tell from the board alone.
    Print that on paper and pencil components in, trying to find whether a 5E3 or whatever fits in.
    Do it on a rainy, boring Sunday afternoon. Have a good eraser handy.
    Good luck.

      Prior to posting I had already printed the images on paper and I had already done the pencil traces. That's how I determined that board #1 is a 5E3 board. It's only missing the mount point for the input resistors, which the kit maker are presumably opted to mount on the input jacks.

      I haven't had any luck with Board #2.

      If anyone has any ideas about board #2 I'd love to hear your insights.

        Good for you.

          I was thinking #2 looked kinda marshallish (plexi) but I can't make things line up.

          Anyone have a better guess?

            I think it's a non-tremelo JTM45, modelled closely on the original. Here it is compared to an actual JTM45 main board.

              Alex, I think you're right! It definitely looks like the turrets are laid out just like the eyelets in the JTM 45 board. Thanks for your help!
