Hello,
- About the
BASS DECAY mod (replaceing R33 -820R- by a 1K pot+ trimmer) : will increasing the resistance increase the decay, or actually reduce the decay ? I am wondering this, because the suggested mod value is « only » twice the original resistance value, and the standard bassdrum of the DR55 doesn’t feature a very long decay. So, will increasing the R33 resistance to a 1K pot+500R trimmer will only allow for twice longer bass drums, or should i try with a 2,5K pot if i am aiming for very long bassdrum sounds ?
- About the
RIMSHOT tune, I have found two suggested ways to make the modification, and i would like to have a confirmation that i didn’t make any mistake and/or that the modification is verified : On the circuitbenders forum, i read that in order to allow for changing the rimshot tune, i have to replace R43 (2,2M) with a 1M pot + 2M trimmer.
But on « bestsoldering » website (which also make a PCB), they suggest to change R44 from the original schematic (which is a 22K resistor) with a 50K pot.
Could anyone confirm that changing CB55’s R43 (2,2M) with a 1M pot + 2M trimmer is the right way to do (or, at least, verified) ?
- I didn’t see any mods related to the
HI-HATS on the circuitbenders forum. But, on some websites, i have read that some mods could be done for the hihat
decay and hihat
tune :
1- putting several capacitors on a switch instead of CB55’s C35 (6,8nF) might change the hihat tune : could you confirm that ?
2- And it seems that the hihat decay could be set by replacing R55 (1M) from the original schematic with a 2M pot. On the circuitbenders CB55, is « R55 » replaced by « R66 » or « R70 » (both are 1M) ? So which one is the one to change ? And do you know if the mod would work ?
- At last, I am willing to make one or two mods to the
snare drum, but i don’t want to mess the nice sonic balance of the original sound and lose its overall character. Do you have any advice ? Which mod(s) would be the best for you ?
Decay noise (R58 replaced by a 1M pot)?
Pitch Element decay (R52 replaced by a pot) ?
Pitch Element tune (R50 replaced by a pot) ? Or any other mod ?
Thank you in advance !
