MP-2 After the noise mod - Spanky Clean is distored . . .

(1/4) > >>

W.Laturno:
I've finished swapping out the R913 and capacitors - no more motorboating -

now it's like the clean voicings 1-6 are super overloaded - the RED LEDS light up like a Christmas tree.....

I started replacing the original caps back ( all the polarities were correct BTW ) and was about 95% done ( testing each time before moving on to the next one ) when C907 blew up !   

 :hair-out:

W.Laturno:
Picture added ....for effect,,,

Hi Will, it made a bit of a mess :-\

W.Laturno:
Gents - If possible, please reply -

What is your drive setting on voicing number 1 Sparkly Clean ?

Right now, when I goto the preset channel 12, it is very very loud and distorts if I hit a full chord....
It is not quite so bad if I lower the DRIVE to about 0.....but this does not seem right

thanks -

Hi Will, this is Patch 12 in my spare MP2 so the previous owner may have changed it from factory  :dunno: , my other MP2 (which I know is factory as I never changed any of the default patches) is 2 hours away and I wont get to it for a few weeks. I'll do a factory restore later when I get some time and compare.  BTW what are the EQ settings on your patch, The EQ can add/subtract a lot of gain.

Voice -> 1 Crystal clean
Drive -> 50
Master -> 50
Comp -> out
Lo: 0
Mid: 0
Hi: 0
Pres: 0
Graphic (all flat (0))
Wah -> out
Trem -> out
NR -> out
Ch -> out
Loop -> in (mix A 25% mix B25%)
