-- Replace R5,R7,R10 and R13 with jumpers +- Replace R5,R7,R10 and R13 with jumpers\\ 
-- Bridge IC6 pads 1&3, 5&7, 8&10 and 12&14 +- Bridge IC6 pads 1&3, 5&7, 8&10 and 12&14\\ 
-- Leave out:  +- Leave out:\\  
-  IC6 +IC6\\  
-  R4, R6, R8, R9, R11, R12, R14, R15 +R4, R6, R8, R9, R11, R12, R14, R15\\ 
-  C15, C16, C19, C20, C23-C30 ​+C15, C16, C19, C20, C23-C30\\ 
 +- Bridge C20 pads (to supply Ground for the op-amps)\\ 
 +- Leave out bridges to IC6\\ 
 +- Use MCP6004 for IC3 and IC5 (IC3 The op-amp, not the DAC, labeling error)\\ 
 +- Supply 5V to the +12V pin, and Ground to Ground\\
  
-+This way the second buffering stage is left out.
  
 +In the sammichFM, nILS designed a separate dedicated 5V supply for the DACs (YAC512) and the op-amps.\\
 +To modify the OPL3 module for this approach:\\
  
 +- Cut the trace between the 5V pin of the Oscillator and the DAC\\
 +- Leave out the middle horizontal bridge from IC1\\
 +- Connect the right pad of this bridge to the 5V pin in the middle of the board with a jumper\\
 +- Connect the left pad of this bridge to the 5V pin of the Oscillator with a jumper\\
 +- Two separate 5V voltage regulators, IN pins connected through a ferrite bead\\
 +- One 5V source to Core and J1 of OPL3 module\\
 +- The other 5V source to J3 of OPL3 module\\
 +- Ground ONLY to J3!\\
  
 +Tips:\\
 +- Starlike wiring (Ground from PSU to each module + Audio outputs)\\
  
  
 +I can vouch for these mods :)\\
 +My MIDIbox FM V1 has hardly any noise, and it has enough gain.
