Guitar tone pot and caps

Posted 1st May 2010 at 01:52 PM by Wayne737

I have a quetion about guitar tone potentiometers and capacitors. A build I'm working on has a preamp. Must the tone control be before the preamp? And all the tone control is at the first part of the potentiometer. I want it to adjust the tone across the entire potentiometer. Would that have to do the the potentiometer, capacitor, or how it is wired?

Here is my brothers response to the first version of the Shunt Regulator wiki. I actually wrote it for him so he could get a clue of what I was babbling about.

Research for My first Horn Speaker.

Posted 19th April 2010 at 08:57 PM by DougL
Updated 28th April 2010 at 06:44 PM by DougL

This is my foray into the dark side.
The only horn speakers I have ever heard was a K horn being driven with a Phase Linear 700.
Could not stay in the room.
Now I am curious if it can be better.

I have a 3 DCX2496 and 6 channels of amplification, so I will start with an active system.

My goal is to get the drivers close to 100db or higher efficiency.
I want to be able to experiment with low power amps.
I am also frugal, so I want to use low cost waveguide components.

Compression tweeter
Direct radiation mid
Woofer/Woofers.

JBL 2123 is my starting point Second hand only.

B&C 6MD38 99db $89
B&C 8PE21 98 db $100
B&C 10MD26 100 db $160
B&C 10HPL64 98 db $130

Here is an example speaker.

Like most of us here I seem to have more projects than I can handle. Just added another one - I'm going to do a simple little 6BQ5/6V6/7C5 based SE amplifier for nostalgia. (My first tube amp as a teenager was a 6BQ5 SE)

I've just added to the stack by ordering a pair of 6V6/6BQ5 SE OPTs from Tony over at Twin Audio. The price with shipping was pretty hard to beat, and I figure that the effort they put into building their amplifiers probably is also reflected in the quality of the parts they use. This amplifier will be pretty simple, most likely using pentode mode with some cathode feedback, a single stage high mu triode driver, and some limited global feedback to get the output impedance down. Hopefully I can make enough power to drive the HCC with it. I could conceivably incorporate the baffle step correction into the input of this amplifier if it is dedicated to driving the HCCs. As a firm believer in the benefits of fixed bias the output stage will incorporate that....

Here is the result:
