Modding the Dlite

[angelodp]

I have been cleaning things up a bit and following some previous posts and advice from Dogears and others on my Dlite. I have the Presence connection re-done with the 3rd lug, now, not grounded but the cap/resistor pair grounded. That helped and the Pot works through the whole range and some of the high end sizzle was relieved, to my liking. Also did the bass jumper which resulted in a better clean tone, but some woofiness on the OD in the lower freqs. Dogears you suggested getting that .0012uf bass cap out of there. Is it recommended that I lower the value of that cap or just loose it. be interested in hearing what others have found. I do have a mid-boost on board .001/ 470 combo. I suppose that unless I do the work over on V2

150-220 3.3k 2.2k and add the .05uf & 150K .... I won't get the proper response.

Fix your PAB wiring. You made some mistakes. Maybe someone can post a correct diagram for you. You got a few things backwards on what you sent me.

I also did the presence pot this way, and I too like it.

Regarding the PAB, I wired my D'Lite with a DPDT switch such that it breaks the jumper between the bass pot wiper and outside lug when PAB is engaged. Of course this does not affect the OD except when PAB is on. The other side of the switch simply disconnects the treble pot from the bass pot.

Is there something that is incorrect about this arrangement? It seems to work well. Although, I think that there is still room for improvement in the way the tone stack behaves.

What is the effect of removing/changing the cap across the bass pot?

Ok, with Deric's help I have this working. Bass jumper for Clean and OD off for PAB
