Line out options

Post by dynosoar1 »

When setting up a voltage divider for a line out jack is it preferable to keep the dropping resistor or pot (if you want to be able to adjust) below 100K and keep the V drop to a ratio of about 100??

Gibson uses 47K for R1 and 470R for R2...Fender uses 2.2K for R1 and I think 220R for R2. I'm assuming the lower the dropping resistor value the less loss in highs?

Matchless Spitfire amp uses from 8 ohm tap to a 22K resistor to 3.3k resistor.
