Hello everyone
After receiving several requests, I've decided to design a PCB for Mesas, particularly the II/IIC+: I've designed already 90% of it, with the idea of having all the functions in a single heavy duty board (preamp, power section, eq, reverb, etc.) - same philosophy as the SLO model :)
However, I'd love to use a relay based channel switching instead of the LDRs. Has anyone done this before? What's your opinion?
Cheers,
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
I am on the Boogie Forum (“Wildman”), although I don’t participate very much.
I noticed last week that you had posted on the Boogie Board that you were developing a Boogie PCB and wanted some help with relay switching for your PCB, but you received no response on the forum.
I have not found the Boogie Board to be very helpful with info, or suggestions, or solving problems, which is why I don’t go there often.
Have you had any help, (from Boogie Board members, or anyone else) with this issue yet?
You will get better responses from “The Amp Garage” members, who are more experienced and helpful.
I just had a look at your (now my) Solo PCB and schematic.
Why not just use that same relay/LDR circuit for the Boogie design?
That cct looks good to me and I assume it has done the job with the Solo.
If you are still looking for some help; I may be able to help with some Boogie info.
I still have the burnt out Boogie “50 Caliber+” amp that I bought from a client, several years ago, to rebuild into a Mark 2C+.
It is still in pieces and I have not done anything to it (or anything else) yet, due to a couple of years of injury caused medical problems.
I am now recovered and back into my amp building and guitar repairs and one of my first projects is the Boogie.
I am also working on amps using the PCBs that I bought from you.
I contacted you a few years ago, about the possibility of you doing a PCB for Boogies, so I will want your Boogie PCB.
Cheers, Noel
