Title: Univibe capacitors Q
Post by: jrc4558 on January 19, 2004, 11:35:31 PM
Look  :shock:  
here: http://www.harpamps.com/schematics/univibe.pdf

Now :shock:  here: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/v2/diagrams/neovibe.pdf
(or at the schematic contained in this file, to be precise)

Is it me stupid :?:  not converting the values right, or are the phase shift capacitors of different values on these two schematics?

GGG suggests the same as John Hollis, while the first schematic suggests ten times the value on two of them.

Which one is right?

Thank you all, respectful builders.

Looks like they are the same. Except one list them in microfarads (uf) and the other in nanofarads (nf).

Constantin,

Ahh, it happens.  :)

If you want to fine tune your Vibe to your needs it's worthwhile using sockets for those phase shifting caps.  I got the idea to tweak those after looking at the schematic for the "Resley" Tone - I believe I found that in Schematics 2.  Using the Resley values smoothed out my Easy Vibe while preserving the wobble - it's a good "best of both worlds" set up in my opinion.
