JTM45 .68uf Cap @ V2 Addition?

Hazy · Post by **Hazy** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 9:01 am

What happens when I add a .68uf cap across the 820 ohm resistor at V2 on a JTM45 circuit just like on the ~68 plexi circuit? I guess I already know that I can...uh, because I did.

To me, it seems to front-end load the volume (fast loud ramp up) as compared to no .68 uf cap. Are there any other reasons to or not to add the cap? This amp is a JTM45 clone that I alter it at will to see how amp tones change with circuit mods and component changes.

Thanks,
Hazy

Only whether your ears like it or not.

Why does that volume increase so fast with the .68 uf cap?
