I've read that the circuit the Misfit is based on (Ibanez MT-10) might need a mod to get rid of the some flub or low end going into the distortion section. I love circuits with pre distortion bass roll off controls. Would rather have a pot if that is possible.
Is the highlighted cap the one I need to lower, to raise the cut off frequency?
I read from 220nF to 100nF might be more to my liking.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
That's the cap! Smaller cap will yield less bass in the situation. I would recommend socketing it and experimenting with values.
Now the question is how do you calculate the Q and roll off of the filter?
Using my handy dandy RCL calculator If I drop in a 100nF the cutoff goes to 600Hz.
Socket the darn thing….

Thanks. Sounds like a plan.
It's the same configuration (resistor + cap to ground) as a Tubescreamer, although the values and stock corner frequency are different. You could use any TS Fat Mod scheme, and substitute the R & C values, if you want a two or three way switchable bass cut. Instead of adding bass like the Fat mod, you'd be reducing it, but still by switching or paralleling caps.
I'll find some schematics with a fat mod switch.
