After a lot of faffing I managed to get the MQ1 working standalone…I snipped the barrell off a 15V 1A psu and wired that into a regulator circuit that I bought as a kit online for pence…out of that the + – feeding into the relative molex rails on the back of the MQ1

It is way quieter and is really cool piece of kit.

 

Now to work on some kind of chassis/housing

Thanks Ted I really do appreciate you looking into this! I have emailed you a sample

Thanks for making sure I didnt blow up my tf piece! I have spent the whole day trying it out on different sources but when I turned the speaker monitor volume up I hear some distortion, seemingly fixed in pitch that does not go away when lowering gains. Also seems to get louder with gain increase.

I was wondering if replacing the 24 capacitors with same value equivalents might fix this?

Wow that was close!

priceless advice thank you for this. 12V DC ill try instead

Thank you again

After several years buried in a pile of bits I eventually ended up putting MQ1 inside my new computer build. when correctly grounded this unit sounds lush on my bass guitar I love it!

still working on an external psu im thinking of trying a meek 12v AC and making it fit the molex
