Transmission Line Pressure Booster
I'm gonna build one myself. I think te firmer shifts will help out with lowering the TM. I'd like to know te resistor value as well, so Weed, you go tthe Sonnax?? or shall I bother Frog to take his out and measure the resistance?
Thanks tons

i took my sonnax apart. well, rather it fell apart, so i investigated. there is one resistor in line, on wire #2. its a 1/8 watt resistor, it has brown, green, black, and gold(it actually looks like orange, but that doesnt make sense, so im assuming its supposed to be gold) color bands, which indicate that it is a 15ohm resistor. however, when i measured its resistance on my multimeter, it read 0.388 kohms (388 ohms). so, im not really sure whats going on with that. i have been too busy as of lately to investigate any further into it.
some people wouldnt call $40 cheap. also, i think i speak for a few of us here. i would much rather make/build something myself, than pay for it premade. just gives me the satisfaction of knowing i did it.
If you are like me and already have a solder iron/gun, flux, solder, wire, heat shrink, terminals and what ever else, then spending $1 for a pack of resistors is nothing.
But if I had NONE of those things listed above and had to go out and buy them all just to make one, then i would not do it. I would get someone else to make me one or buy one already made.

dude if you make one to the same specs for 9 dollars opposed to 40 dollars and having the satisfaction you did it, i would keep my 40 dollars. i would build one, yeah 20,000 truck woo hoo but who cares when its the same thing for 1/4 of the price.
