Thanks Chris!

The inspiration was those old mad scientist movies. Kind of like an nouveau vintage thing with big ol knobs LIKE A BOSS!

I wanted people to feel like IT WAS ALIIIIEEEEEEVE!

hehehehahaha...I totally said that outloud.

Plus, Nikola Tesla is DA MAN. A *God* of Science, per se.

feel free to post as much as you want. Spam by gear makers is fine, welcome actually. Titan amps used to come here, but since his wife gave birth , not so much. We are tough skinned so it would be impossible to offend someone here.

*waits for Chris to pick Carls mind* :snax:

I had mentioned the input seemd like it was not a typical input on the Tesla, here's Carl's quote to me on it:
Quote:
What does the input do? It's called the 'Fuller Mod'. Basically. It is what the TIM has as the 'treble' control, also. BASICALLY, as you turn it UP (clockwise), it puts a little resistance in the circuit. SO...full counterclockwise (OFF), the input does NOTHING. As you turn it up, it slightly lowers the signal and as it puts resistance into the circuit, it stabilizes it. As you turn it up, the sound gets a little more quiet, a little less bright...Technically what it's doing is reducing the 3rd order harmonics and allowing the 2rd order to dominate. 3rd order is more aggressive, 2nd order is more OD/Tube like. That is why you get the MOST bright and fuzzy (aggression) when the input is OFF (counterclockwise). You can get very subtle shades of *less bright* or *less grunge* as you turn it up. I look at it more like a *Vintage* vs *Modern* sound. Full off, it's modern and aggressive. As you turn it up, you get more *vintage*. Working in combination with the TONE rotary, it can give you a HUGE variety of sounds. Play with it... Sheeesh. I hope that's not confusing.

I can see he really like doing this stuff here:

Quote:
See...I'm not a fan of the classic 'tone control', so I designed the GOD COMPLEX series in a way that allows you to actually change the circuit within controlled parameters. That means NO TONE SUCK or loss of definition. You want bright? turn down the input and put the rotary control on the 1st or 2nd click. You want thick, but still defined? turn up the input to about halfway and put the rotary on 3 or 4. You want 'classic FF'? turn off the input, and put the rotary on 5 or 6. Be careful, though. It puts out a LOT of bottom end!

Yep. That's what I said. In context, even!

The input control actually does the opposite of what we would intuitively figure it would do. If you are expecting 'traditional' controls...well...sorry. sorta.

Some people erroneously call their input control "BIAS" or something like that. They do that for 1 of two reasons: They have no clue what biasing actually means, but it sounds cool or they don't want to use the words "volume" "input" or whatever...I couldn't come up with a marketing gimmick for that knob, so I went with "Input". In a way, the same 'default' choice for the 6 way Rotary switch. "TONE" is really a misnomer. It's actually a selectable HPF filter. I guess I could've put "HPF" on there instead of TONE. Plus...It's not like you can see the label anyway. I'm probably going to remove the labels entirely. Make it more MAD SCIENCE-ERIFIC.

Carl

This might be the finest thing about this forum, which is saying a lot considering how many other fantastic bits it has about it.

Fred is actually not banned. He's registered from an international account- Yahoo or Gmail or something along those lines, and can get through. I made a point of checking.
