Has anyone of you ever tried to get their DC-2 to perform faster or slower or change its colour? Is this possible at all?
Now before you all start to think I must be a complete idiot to try this, read what I have discovered:
I have A/B-ed two DC-2's, both of them have the same numbers on the PCB board and internally they look the same apart from one aspect: One of them has BROWN capacitors, and the other one has a green cap on those similar capacitors. Both pedals sound very different, similar to what I found about the ditital and analogue CH-1.
One of them sounds light, does not go as fast while the other one is darker, deeper and does go a lot faster.
Just wondering if one could adjust the trimpots so they would sound similar.
Find it bizarre that they sound so different. None of them has been modified, the PCB boards look very clean and the only thing I noticed which is different are the colour of the capacitors mentioned above.
At the moment I do not have the serial numbers of the pedals, will post them tomorrow.
Now this difference in colour of the sound, is this something which is characteristic for choruspedals, as in, "Any choruspedal will sound different even the ones which have been produced on the same day, it is just the nature of the beast". Could this statement be true? |

Let me look at the schematic & ponder it for awhile. It is possible that one BBD doesn't sound as good as the other - less highs through it. There will always be a certain amount of difference between units due to the tolerances of the components, but it shouldn't be that noticeable. I hear very liitle difference between all my CH-1's, for example. Again, with an oscilloscope, it would be easy to see where the differences are.
When you say one is faster, di you mean on every setting, or just some settings?
Grace and peace,
Steve
