Re: High-plate Classic
Very nice looking build there. One of these days I will buy a "proper" chassis... Who am I kidding? I love the look of those NOS parts. I'd like to hear this one, for sure.

A couple of tweaks and upgrades I'm finally happy.

Re: High-plate Classic
Lovely build, looks fantastic and I am sure must sound great!!
Any audio clip? I am curious to hear these mods
What is the trimmer with the small cap in front of the PI? Adjustable boost?

Re: High-plate Classic
Thanks.
Sorry, no clips yet.
The small board above the PI is a high-frequency taper. HAD used it in 094 and at some point in 102 (I believe). It's just a 500K trimmer with a 0.001 to ground. You can shave some of the top-end off as these amps can be on the bright side. Mine wasn't overly bright but I wanted to see what the HF taper was about. I have it set quite low and liked the way it sounded so it stayed. 094 had a 0.02 so he was probably using it to sculpt the top-end more than just remove highs.

Re: High-plate Classic
Out of curiosity alone, you may want to try a .022uF cap on the HF taper. If I recall correctly, it really changes the character of the midrange more than the top end. I remember I didn't care for it, but I think it sounded good with Strats on the 2 and 4 positions... maybe? It's been a long time.ijedouglas wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:42 pm Thanks.

Re: High-plate Classic
Thanks Gil, I'll definitely give it a go. Not sure if I have enough of the trimmer engaged to make a noticeable difference to the high-end but I definitely noticed a difference in the feel. I have no explanation for this though. It also seems to want to take off. Whatever it is, I'm liking (for this week )ayan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 9:03 pm Out of curiosity alone, you may want to try a .022uF cap on the HF taper.
