Presence Control

[Karl]

Does anyone have a part number for the 1.0uF presence cap that fits a Funk board?

What is the funk board?

What is the funk board?

I have a bord set that I bought from Funk.

Is it particularly hard to fit a cap on those boards? Any 1.0uF film cap should work fine...doesn't even have real voltage on it in that slot.

Usually it is a 1.0uf electrolytic. The 35 or 50V ones should fit.

Dumble also used 1.0uf tantalum on some amps. If you are building a bluesmaster you want a .1u poly cap in that position.

I use a 1uf radial cap 35v and bend the leads out, for the BM PI I use a NTE .1uf @ 250v

I've used mouser 5989-100V1.0-F, which is a CDE type DME 1uF, 100V polyester film. Seems fine, but I'm not the same class as Funk and glasman. I'm probably more the cottonears type.

Ditto http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDet ... -100V1.0-F
They work great.

Ain't nothing fancy about my presence caps.

For 1's it is either Xicon or Nichicon

For .1uf I use Xicon MPP's (trying to deplete stock).

Thanks for the answers.

Honestly I like a .68uF cap there. The 1uF presence control seems to be a tad harsh in the upper mids. I tried a .68 and love it. Less brightness from the presence, but more pleasing.
