dying battery effect of a silicon and germanium transistor

[walters]

what the load line is doing , then explain the difference between silicon vs germanium load lines

Explain more about the dying battery effect of a transistor

dying battery effect of a silicon transistor
dying battery effect of a germanium transistor

What is really happening between the two please?

Silicon transistor load line is different than a germanium load line why is that?
whats the difference?

YESSSSS!!!

Welcome back, Walters! We've missed you big-time.

What is a germanium transistor? Where can I go to find a silicon transistor?

How much juice has to be left in a dying battery for it to be considered "dying"?

I'd say that while theres probably some technical explanation, you've really got to use your ears to understand it.

Theres a few power supply units that actually have a variable voltage to be able to simulate the dying battery sound with consistancy. I can't remember the brand names but I've seen a few units that would do the job. SKB has a new pedal board with the ability as well though its rather pricey

Sounds like looking into something like that would be right up your alley

Yea who makes them? i been looking for a power supply with variable voltage

Voodoo Labs makes one, this one here:

Re: dying battery effect of a silicon and germanium transistor

Thats way to pricey for me to get only 2 variable voltages

Walters...tired of trolling HC, so you came over here, huh? lmao...

It's ironic, though. I posted a REAL question about an SD Pickup Booster on the 6th, and the crickets are still chirping. One guy said he'd answer me later. That's been a few days ago, though, and I'm not holding my breath.

Troll on walters, looks like it gets a more enthusiastic response, over here.

Still looking for a variable power supply DC

Re: dying battery effect of a silicon and germanium transistor

From what little I've read, it isn't lower voltage per se, that causes the "dying battery" affect. Its voltage "sag" as you try to draw more current than the dying battery can supply. Similar affect caused by using a tube rectifier in a tube amplifier.

Here's a pretty good article on it along with some ideas on how to build your own.

Well, first you have to repeat to yourself, "I like turtles" over and over again. Problem solved.

Re: dying battery effect of a silicon and germanium transistor

So on the power supply if your put it at 9volts but adjust the current very low that is SAG?
