Power Filtering, new vs old and ....
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2016 5:42 am
Hi Everyone.
Power filtering... I would like to know why new builders, even most that I see of "boutique" status, use higher filtering, like a minimum of 50µF on pre/PI/screens etc.
Is there something I am missing? I have a 50 watt Superbass clone and the filtering is switchable. On one side all 3 filters are 50µF+50µF. Then a switch to change PI/screens to 16µF+16µF and a switch for the Preamp at 32µF+32µF.
99.99% of the time I am jamming at the lower filtering occasionally switching to higher to simply see how I feel about it on any particular day often switching right back to lower.
As far as noise or anything else, other than a difference of feel/mojo I see no difference - no difference in stability or noise whether running it hard or not.
Could someone tell me what the deal is on this subject?
Grateful as ever!
Eric
