Re: "other" Fender mods: A little long winded Sheesh...I've really got to stop posting at the crack of dawn!   Ok....let's try this again!     "Did you mean out of the pickup, or AC out of the plate?"   What I dismally mis-communicated here was that under "normal" circumstances the signal at the grid of the second stage probably won't see anything higher than about a volt. Of course this is assuming you're using standard single coils and no pedals.     "Hmmm...I not sure you'd hear the 250P cap across the 22K FB resistor.   The -3dB point would be about 29KHz.   It might be OK for a little ultra high freq oscillation control though. But it also might start one!"   I don't know if I'm hearing it or not...but every time i've tried putting a cap in here it seems to dull the highs just a tad. A little hard to describe. The oscillation problem is one of the primary reasons I don't like to do this. I think, or rather hope, I mentioned having a scope handy for this one.     "I usually find, for my taste, most blackface or silverface Fenders need nothing higher then .0068uF, if the rest of the amp is set up properly and in balance."   I dropped a cheap ass 0.001 mylar in that position a while ago and it definetly sounded great. Bright as hell though. Definetly retains the Fender vibe! FWIW, I tend to voice my amps with a good amount of bottom. My ears seem to be really sensitive to highs for some reason.     As for the hot air....I don't know how some of you guys find the time to post here as much as you do. I've got a bad habit here of thinking in a few different directions at the same time and getting all tangled up in the posts. Need to proofread a little better I guess.     Carl Z   Summit Amps   http://www.geocities.com/summitamps

Dodge	Re: "other" Fender mods: My two cents worth... Hmm. I'd better start making notes here, my Twin has always sounded great with a Strat, but with a bridge humbucker, it sounds particularly bad cranked up.     Keep the tips coming guys!     Dodge

Deltablues	Re: "other" Fender mods I have collected a handful of Fender as well as Marshall and Generic Mods. They're listed in the "Schematic Heaven" section under "Mods" on my website. I've tried not to include anything I'd consider irreversible or a "Hack".     http://www.deltabluesman.com     Comments are welcome.
