Any chance somebody could elaborate on a "CCV Depth Circuit"?CrazyNutz":3e87n42d said:scottosan":3e87n42d said:the NFB of the 50 deluxe kind of addresses this as it has adjustable resistance (response) post the thump control adding brightness similar to the variable Dark switch on the CCV. I kept it simple and use a 3 way response switch. While I still don’t use the SAT it’s much useable, I just have the diode clipping thing covered with the CCV cloneCrazyNutz":3e87n42d said:psychodave":3e87n42d said:Cool project.
Why not add the saturation switches in a different location ala Cameron. The Friedman location makes the amp sound dull and lifeless... which is why lots of people say the never use it.
Yeah, I agree the SAT clipping is not something I like on Friedman amps. But there is a way to fix it to make it sound killer, get rid of the darkness, very CCV like. If you use the Cameron style depth circuit. Scott stumbled on to that one.
Tossed around the idea of making the "SAT" switch a "Cameron" switch instead. Flip it on, and it engages the diodes, and changes the depth circuit over to CCV style.
Right. When I played around with the NFB taps, and also the response control, I really just found two usable settings, and is basically the 4ohm, and 16ohm taps. Everything in between is just too much tweak-ability. The 16ohm tap is nice farting around by yourself, the 4ohm tap is IMHO a must in a band mix.
But that CCV depth circuit, with the diode clipping is very nice!
Is this where you have the NFB resistor BEFORE the depth control, and then the switchable .002uf / .004uf caps, or are you guys referring to something else?
Normally, the depth is before the NFB resistor, and I've always wondered what diff. it would make if you changed the order.
I'm not crazy about using the SAT on my BE100 for the same reasons mentioned above.
