Critical Warnings

What NOT to Substitute

No ceramic caps in the signal path

Ceramic caps have piezoelectric microphonics and voltage-dependent capacitance (distortion). All signal-path caps must be WIMA MKS2 film. The 47pF bright cap must be silver mica specifically — ceramic will add HF distortion audible in reverb tails.

No carbon film resistors

Carbon film has 10–100× higher current noise and temperature drift. At 214× recovery gain this degrades the signal floor audibly. Use metal film 1% only (Yageo MFR or equivalent).

No TO-92 for the driver transistor

A TO-92 small-signal transistor (2N3904, BC547) cannot supply enough current to the transformer primary — it will clip drive transients and harden the reverb attack. BD139 TO-126 only.

No NE5532 or TL072 in place of OPA2134

NE5532 has bipolar (low-impedance) input — it attenuates the tank's 2550Ω output before any amplification occurs at the recovery stage. TL072 has higher noise and lower current capacity. OPA2134PA throughout — same part number at all three stages.

Mica insulating pads on TO-220 regulators — not optional

The TO-220 tab is electrically connected to the output pin. Without mica pads, mounting both LM7815 and LM7915 to the same chassis shorts +15V to −15V through chassis ground. Both regulators will be destroyed. Pads are in the BOM (part# 4880SG).
