Have any of ya'll tried putting a presence control mod on a 2275-65 with PI? I would like to be able to have it go from no negative feedback to some value of negative feedback that would be well suited for this model. It can't be that friggin' complicated. I have seen a few for Fender BF that did not take much. It could be one or both channels. |

I don't know about a Presence mod, but the channel-link technique is very cool on two channel MM amps. |

I once tested with a sort of presence control. I put a 250k potentiometer in series with R47. I also tried with a switch that lifted the connection completely. The sound becomes a little "flabby" (hard to describe). A matter of taste. |

A presence control can be added. I just finished a 2100-65 12ax7 phase inverted Bass head. I modded it for guitar, I did not put a pot for the presence though, I tried it and it works well, but the owner wanted it preset at an overall good setting so I hardwired it to work, and it is right where he wanted it, just a tad more presence than stock. A 100k linear pot would work pretty good, since at the lowest setting would be pretty much bypassed. Basically the first 1/2 of the 12ax7 driver stage, there is a 1.5k cathode resistor, you add a electrlytic cap, about 1uf and put the pot between it and ground. Works like a champ! |
