    Also, and perhaps more importantly, it’s non-conductive

    Then of course there's this belter from Sarah Vaughan:

    25K Linear sounds about right for an active bass, they're typical much lower value than passive instruments.

    I've got a Deltalite 2510 mk 1 in my shed - I might have try at putting one of these together...

    DHA VT1 EQ DI

    paul_5 replied to Pow_22's topic in Effects

    I had a VT2 custom arrive this morning, it’ll be interesting to play through this model when it’s fixed, as the EQ circuit is passive, so cut only. There is a FAT and a BRIGHT switch though…

    my 2 have already been mentioned on here KZS10 and a Behringer BDI-21

    I love DHA kit. All of my favourite recordings have been through some of his kit.

    My personal favourites are Ler from Primus and Vernon Reid from Living Colour, they don’t feature highly in those kind of lists either.

    Really depends on the setlist - if it was disco/funk stuff then I'd plump for an octave and envelope filter, if it was a rock/metal set then I'd plump for an octave and envelope filter

    Zoom 607

    paul_5 posted a topic in Effects For Sale

    Zoom 607 really old multi effects unit, dead easy to use and cheap as chips. I bought this to do a specific job (pitch shift) which it does, but is really too big to justify its place on my board so I’m moving it on. If you’re in the market for a tuner and volume pedal then it’s worth it just for that.

    I used to run my DHA kit with a laptop PSU - high current delivery and centre positive meant that they were perfect. Just make sure that you get one that's got a 2.1mm jack.

    For my money this has to be one of the most beautiful songs of the latter half of the 20th Century: And this one doesn't start like a love song, but it's worth staying with it. https://youtu.be/d9aDAFMjxpI?si=S1GLHdtbccHWcjPp

    If you using lead/tin solder you MUST use it in a well ventilated room, preferably with an extractor fan - lead does really nasty stuff to people, and it’s ridiculously easy to inhale! It flows beautifully at slightly lower temperatures than lead free stuff but it’s a cumulative toxin.

    Rule one: don’t talk about capacitor club, just save all of your comments and questions until the end, then let them go all at once!
  19. paul_5
    Just make sure that when you solder the replacement in that you solder the cathode (negative leg indicated by the white stripe) facing the same way; some capacitors aren’t fussy about polarity, these ones are.

    here’s John K’s version. I’ve built this layout and it’s great. The transistors were expensive (6 -7 quid each) but there are opamp layouts in the net too.

    I’ve got one of these on my main board - great little unit.

    Higher end pieces of kit often have an input transformer that is switchable between 110v or 230v for US and UK/EU markets. Different manufacturers have different ways to achieve this - the most convenient is a simple toggle switch, but sometimes it’s an internal procedure.

    I've spent a LOT of my playing doing 3 fingers - mainly to distribute the work more evenly. Playing night after night is easier when you don't have finger fatigue!

    Polypropylene caps tend to be closer tolerance - so closer to the stated value than polyester caps too, so I'd always opt for those wherever possible.

    I think you’re all dreadful and all the advice is worthless.😄 There, balance is restored.
