JJ Paul Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi Steve,what is the current value of the tone control cap on the korina Standard?I'm seriously thinking of swapping mine for a higher value as I'd like to take a bit of the edge out of it's tone (before I do something drastic like swapping pups..).Thankyoo!JJ Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serial Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's a .001 on the new ones. Lemme check to confirm that. Pots are 500k, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomteriffic Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Paul, .010 I believe is standard, unless they did something special for the Korinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Paul Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Yup pots will definitely be 500.Does anybody remember the formula to calculate the cutoff frequency given the value of the capacitor?Mumble mumble...Thx guys...JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serial Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Yup-typo. .01 caps. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yup pots will definitely be 500.Does anybody remember the formula to calculate the cutoff frequency given the value of the capacitor?It's a lowpass filter, so cuttoff frequcency is always:Fc = 1 / (2*Pi*R*C)However, it's really a second order lowpass filter and you have to consider the resonant frequency of the pickup to get a true picture...In other words, who cares? Higher values give a darker sound and, oddly enough, it isn't entirely intuitive HOW it sounds. It's best to just clip in another .01 and play to hear what a .02 sounds like, then use a .02 if you prefer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Paul Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Screwy math!1/(2 * 3.1415 * 500000 * 0.0001) =1/(314.15)=0.0031831??? what frequency is that?I am probably using the wrong multipliers for the resistance (maybe I needed to calculate w/ 500) and for the capacitor (0.1 microfarad= 0.0001?) because a lowpass value of 318 Hz could actually be correct...JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
