Got hooked on RobRobinette's site lately as the guides basically share a lot of info with my Traynor YBA-1 amp.
Having some success following guide and modifying my 68' Traynor YBA-1 lately. Voiced a lead channel, tweaked the voicing a bit and it sounds so much better suited for guitar now.
But I have been mulling as to what to do for arguably the most important/useful mod so far - the master volume.
Right now I just have a 250k leftover Stratocaster pot hooked up with some alligator leads to the Phase Invertor coupling caps and it works...better than expected! I can definitely get bedroom level overdrive sounds and doesn't rob any discernable juicy, clear, sustaining tone to my ears.
But the problem isn't the master volume - it's the new lead channel 0.68/2.7k voicing which dump a lot of bass at cleaner volumes for the sake of that glorious distortion at higher volume settings.
As I understand it, a resonance control interacts late in the chain connected to the NFB to subtract or introduce bass.
My thought is this (excuse me if I'm not the first), but - what if we were to use the Trainwreck 3 type volume which is a VERY simple 1meg pot with middle and end ligs hooked up.
But what if we were to use a dual gang pot and on the rear of pot have a resonance control...wired backwards?
That way when the Master volume and overall decibels go up, the bass goes out...
...And when volume go down - bass goes in?
Would this work?
