cathode followers, new coupling cap sizes?

8/22/1999 5:14 PM
Eth	cathode followers, new coupling cap sizes? Since the ouput impedance is so low, does the coupling cap size need to be changed because of new "r" value. The way I see it it has to be creating a new rolloff frequency. I put two mosfets (source follower) in my guitar amp to buffer some high output impedance cc stages. I think there is definitely a lack of bass, however, I modded the tone stack and installed a new pickup in my guitar!... This is a great post though, I don't mind reposting it! Thanks Eth
