Tonestack with Deep Switch, but no Rock/Jazz

Post by mhartman »

I'm planning a build with Deep, Mid and Bright switches, but no Rock/Jazz or PAB (Rock on full time). I put this together from various threads/files on here. Am I headed in the right direction? Am I missing anything? Would you go with different value or taper pots?

Thanks in advance for your help!

When I built my 100w ODS, I installed the Deep switch.
I didn't really care for it, as it was a bit too much low mids.

Maybe on clean tone it would be alright but essentially the Mid Boost is an updated version of the Deep.

So to have both may be redundant.

IMHO :)

My 2 (Euro ) cents:
I would definetely recommend using a pot with audio taper for the mid control, 10% or 15% taper preferred. IMHO the usable range of the mid control is between 10k and 50k to ground, with the linear pot it is harder to dial in the sweet spot.
Personally, I find all the switches on Dumbles musically useful, one of my faves is the Deep/Bright combination,

hope this is helpful
