RE: EDP IN/OUT Mod




I read an interview with Jimi Hendrix's tech guy, who had to re-wire the
middle eq pot on his marshall stack, because Hendrix preferred his sound
with the center scooped, but wouldn't play unless all the knobs were set
at full...

I think you mean resistors....

is your concern just about the knob positions? Why not just pull the
knobs 
off one and place them back rotated a little so they match in level when

the knob indicator is in the same spot?

Otherwise, the circuit inside is pretty much the same. Maybe the pots
have 
a different taper or something, I guess that could make a difference.

The only other possibility is with the limiter in the newer units. If
you 
have the level turned up too high, you will be hitting the limiter in
one 
and not the other, and that could obviously make them different. If that
is 
the case though, you just have the level turned up too far....
