Title: Input/output cap swap to convert Joe D's high gainers for bass use?
Post by: audioguy on May 13, 2006, 11:12:01 AM
I want to try a couple of Joe D's designs on bass... and I know that a quick way is to increase the in/out put caps. What would be a good value?

Thanks!

He usually uses .1uf caps that are pretty large, may not need to change them.  But if you do double or quadruple for max bass.  Also might want to increase the by-pass caps the same.   :icon_cool:

4.7µF or bigger. I'm guessing of course. You just want to not block any lows coming or going.

The 1µF I sold you might be big enough if you don't want any electros in the signal path.

Cool, thanks! I'll try a couple of 4.7 and see what happens.
