Title: Clean Smoothie
Post by: GrindCustoms on August 20, 2012, 09:46:07 PM
Clean clip of the Smoothie, i'd like to know if it sounds right..., Speed is set around 1 o'clock

I'm hearing a lot of low frequency modulation but not much high frequency modulation. Hard to tell if it's just youtube killing the sound or maybe slightly mis-biased, so you might want to tinker with the trim pot a little if you didn't mess with it much. I found that the proper bias point on a phaser was every bit as tough to dial in as an orange squeezer. I can't hear the different frequencies getting out of sync, though, so that's good and means they're most likely matched close enough even without using the test circuit. I will say, though, that it might be worth doing some matching eventually ... It's still possible to hear variations between sets matched to three significant digits.

Thanks for the tips Jon ;)

I also feel that there's missing something in the high frequencies when playing clean, but when under distortion, everything seems to be there, maybe you could take a listen to the other clip i did with it.

But i'll for sure properly match a set of FET when my big batch comes in. I'll give it another try at biasing tomorrow and will report back.
