Green Ringer Volume Drop

[stratman672]

I built a green ringer. And it works great. Except for the fact that there's a volume drop. How can i fix this? Thanks in advance.

What do the nice people at Tonepad say?

That seems like the obvious place to ask.

They dont have a forum to my knowledge.

Not a forum as such, but people do post their mods to the circuit and provide build reports.

Myself, I found that the Ringer tended to need a slightly boosted front end to "deliver the goods", as well as yield a reasonable output. So, I stuck a single transistor gain stage on the front, and replaced the 4k7 fixed resistor on the output with a 5k volume pot.

Thanks that was a really good idea!. I put a single transistor booster i ripped off from a clean boost circuit and it sounds great.
