Steve A. | Re: Update Gil: I remember this being mentioned a few times last summer, but has anybody tried inserting a "tweed style" tone control after the OD section? "Tweed" as in a 5F2-A Princeton with the .005uF cap to ground on the CCW end of the 1M tone pot and the 500pF cap on the CW end wired as a "bright cap" to the 1M volume control. I believe that the values would need to be adjusted to match the impedance and voltages involved and to tune the filters to work better with the OD sound. There is much less loss through a circuit like that than with a "real" 3-pot tone stack. A control like this could probably be mounted on the front panel so that you could dial in any sound from too bassy to too bright... < grin > --Thanks! Steve Ahola P.S. It would also be interesting to plug a graphic or parametric equalizer into the FX loop of a Skyliner minus the post OD tone stack just to see what frequencies we'd have to boost or cut to get some really nice sounds (like the elusive Gerald Ford Skyscraper sound). |
