From the vendor
A JFET amp-in-a-box inspired by mid-to-late-1950s tweed Fender amps, the follow-up to Wampler's Black '65. A J201 input stage feeds a paralleled-J201 gain stage, a Fender style Treble/Bass/Mids tone stack, a second paralleled-J201 recovery stage and a J201 output buffer. An Input Simulator switch picks Normal, Bright or Linked inputs, emulating the jumpered channels of a tweed amp.

Check before you build · 2 values the reader of this schematic was not sure of
- The two JFETs in the recovery stage are drawn overlapping and read as Q5 and Q6; there is no Q7 on the drawing.
- The 0.0022 (2.2n) treble cap's designator overlaps the Treble pot label; read as C8, which matches the PCB layout.
