Pauley

Re: Pauley? quote: "Pauley, I was curious what four components make the tone stack the correct values. Do you have an article saved. Or remember off the top of you head?"     Ok, look at the BMP (Transistor version) on Aron's page. The 4 components are around the Tone control, the 39k/0.01uF and 0.004uF/100k pairs. I didn't take the time to measure what was in the reissue to start with but they used ceramic capacitors which stole some high end.     What I did was replace all 4 parts but used polyester film capacitors. Its really not that complicated. Hardest part is tracing out the layout to figure out which 4 components on the PCB are the right ones.     I will say this though: I used the values from Jack Orman's NPN BMP schematic, which isn't available for free anymore. I can't recall if his values matched R.G.'s original schematic (the one on Aron's page).     quote: "it still sounds nothing like my 1st reissue green muff in the much thicker and heavier heavy duty green enclosure."     I know I have the first style reissue, but whats the difference between 1st and 2nd? different box? 1st ones are easy to spot cause they'll be missing at least half their paint.     I'll guess that your 2nd issue doesn't have those red caps then. Check it out when you get to the modding.
