50W lead vs. 70's spec.

Post by tqlspec » Wed Apr 06, 2011 11:43 am

The only difference I can tell between the Lead and 70's Lead is the Lead has the 33uf cap replaced with a 50uf cap and the 47K ohm resistor swapped out with a 100K ohm.

Can anyone tell me what this change achieves?

the 70s amps, esp those with 100k nfb, doesn't normally have a .68uf on v2a.

decreasing nfb gives more rawness, adding preamp filtering gives stiffness, the .68 gives a mid and treble boost
