Tell you what, as a one-time Acoustic 370 user, I can tell you that that's the soul of it. I'd know it anywhere.

Acoustic 370 Power Amp Sim Pedal

Yep. I've got a 370/301 rig. The pedal nails the 370!
What a great tone / pedal. If you ever to decide to make these for sale, consider me quite interested. Great work!!!
I also got a Iso-5 now
don't worry. @johnk_10
All the settings mentioned early in the thread really make me wish I had someone in Pennsylvania are to fine tune my 370s. One is getting distorted. Some were worked on my good techs but they had to guess at setting stuff. As simple as the amp looks - fixing these is not something a lot of guys can do.

it's really not that difficult if you're familiar with the amp. I've rebuilt some really cooked ones that had 3 or 4 previous techs botch up them trying to repair them.
Hello,
I'm curious to what steps you took to make the circuit more pedal friendly;
I have a Viva Analog 360+ in the works, and I'd like to take a similar approach to the 361 power amp.
Also, I don't understand the function of S301. If it's a momentary push button, what use does it have?
Regards,
Mark

this is incredibly cool! I've had my 370 since '89. scored it in a pawn shop in Houston. it has had some issues (cutting out), but I've had it fixed. as long as I keep a fan on the vents in the front of the panel, we're good to go. I do bring a back-up, though, when I gig with it. if this pedal becomes available, i'll be getting it.

for a pedal, the power requirement is different(lower voltage) so a few resistor values had to be adjusted to compensate for that. and of course it doesn't use high output power transistors since it's made for pedal output levels.
S301 is used to bypass the AGC circuit in order to set the offset to get a symmetrical sine wave at the output.
john you have been awfully quiet about pricing and building info: what gives?

due to the expense of the components and the complexity of the build, I really don't intend on making many, if any of these for sale.
