Choke , resistor question

Post by paisley_tele »

I didnt order a choke for my rocket built. I wanted some compression that u get with the resistor . What size whould be good to get alot of sag and then. What size for a mild type of sag?

The rocket has a tube rectifier which adds a fair amount of sag I'd try 150r to 1k till you find the value that works for you.

You will most likely have to adjust your dropping string if you use a resistor rather than the choke.
