Tiger Pre-Amp

If you're a Dead Head, you'll probably be interested in this one. It's the pre-amp from Jerry Garcia's Tiger guitar used from '79-'89 and built by Doug Irwin. It's a unity gain buffer to prevent signal loss with long cables. It can be built into a guitar like the original or into a 1590A. Other single op-amps can be used instead of the LF356N (TL071, NE5534, etc).

      You could, but it's designed for the output to be at unity. Not going to get extra gain out of it.

    That is not unity gain and the diode you added, was not added for a reason.
