Title: Forum Vibe 24v question
Post by: Michael2 on December 08, 2017, 08:48:19 PM
Hi all,

Just completed the v5 Forum Vibe and I am very pleased with the sound and features. Only thing is that the effect sounds a bit weak, even with the intensity knob full open. Receptors are slightly angled towards the bulb. I'm aware of the bias trim and have ordered a trim pot for offset biasing, hopefully that will increase it some.

But...what if I power this board with 24v instead of the 18v I am using now? Does it make a difference in intensity and/or headroom? And do I have to change any components to run it off 24v?i did a search but could not find any answers. As far as I know I am using the onboard power bridge (still don't know what it is or does to be honest).

Thanks all!
