IC4a 100k Channel 1

Channel 2 is identicle to Channel 1, and uses IC4b for the clipping meter and IC3 for the input/output driver. The input impedance of the TubeHead is about
20k ohms, which is consistant with most gear like Synths, Effects Processors, Mixers, EQs, and so on. 20k is too low for a proper match with high
impedance sources like guitar pickups, but a few minor changes take care of this. To use the TubeHead as a instrument pickup preamp, remove the 47k*
resistor and the 20pf cap from the feedback loop of the driving OpAmp. Then change the 47k" resistor to 680k and the 22k resistor in the feedback loop of the
driving OpAmp to 100k. Now the TubeHead can be used to warm up a cold sounding guitar amp or just provide a great preamp tone.

All 33uf caps 16v all others 50v unless marked othewise. Resistors marked with # are 1% film type. The "Drive" LED indicates how hard the tube is being
driven. The "Blend" control allows for a mixing of SS and tube coloration. Symmetry controls the relative amounts of even and odd harmonics, CCW the
Tube Mic Pre may sound punchier, while CW it may sound warmer. The 12VAC needed for pin 5 of the 12AX7 can be obtained from point G while pin 4
should be connected to point A.

USING STERO PHONE JACKS FOR INPUT

2
3 This mod converts the XLR jacks to 1/4" balanced stereo jacks. However, when a mono plug is used with this new jack the
1 inverting input of the differential amp is grounded, this single-ends the balanced input so standard phone plugs on dyanmic
mics can be plugged in directly. Additionally the polarity switch still works, even for unbalanced inputs. If phantom power is not
turned off while using a singled ended input the performance of the TMP will not be up to par but it won’t damage the TMP either.

USING THE TMP WITH LINE LEVEL SIGNALS

There are two options for line level signals. First if you know that you’ll be using line level signals all the time with the
TMP then you can change the two 33k 1% resistors to 1k 1% types and your done. Alternatively if you want the option Low / Line Level
of line level or low level signals then you can sacrifice the polarity switch and and rewire it here as shown. Notice that 47k
the 47k resistors are again of the 1% variety. 2 #

0.05uf USING DC TO POWER THE HEATER FILAMENTS

Vcc This mod can make the TMP quiter. Insted of using the
12VAC 12VAC to power the heater filaments rectified and
0.5A D1 100 filtered DC can be used. This is accomplished as shown.
+15v
S1 The new resistor added is a 15 ohm 1W type, the new
470uf + 220uf + cap is a 1000uf 25v as shown. It is critical that pin 5 of the
25v 25v 12AX7 connects to the ground point shown.
