Re: OD channel tone control ?

I tried a 6 way switch, 100p, 220p, 360p, 500p, 720p (2-360p parallel) and none.

The 100p was almost unnoticeable, 220p and 360p effective but very similar in the high cut, 500p nice and smooth, 720p kinda muddy.

Since I don't have any holes to install the 6 way I think I'm going with 220p and 500p on an on/off/on mini toggle. I have the mid boost on the foot switch so I'll use that hole for this switch.

Another cool part of using this is I can boost the highs on the HRM so that the center will be brighter, 220p normal and 500p darker.

Excellent thread.

One thing I noticed with mine was that a different cab resulted in me using different settings. It was a rehearsal so I didn't make notes mental or otherwise!

I guess that's the big difference with mine, its a 1x12 combo. Yes I've run a bunch of different speakers but is pretty settled on the WGS ET65.... Or the hellatone 60 :oops:

And its also relevant that I have a 680p snubber on V2b ...
