Rcustoms....it looks like the 3 band bass EQ of the Seymour Duncan bass preamp. Bass (boost)90hz, mid cut 575hz, bass 32hz, mid 650hz, and treble 5khz. Using a bandpass EQ filter.

Just in case someone's still interested: Here's a pcb I did for the Silent Fly’s Sadowsky Preamp schematic on the third page of this thread. I liked the sound a lot better with J201 transistors, drain voltages adjusted to about 4.4 V each. Replace R4 and R7 with trimmers to adjust the voltage.
Cheers, Lars

The 1M resistor at the input... goes to ground or to Vr?

Edit: I mean, in the Curbow schemo

looks awesome baja, I might just give this a spin. wondering if I should try my buffer-before-blend concept with this design... it worked fantabulously with the Music man design.

Hi all, I came across the Yamaha BB604-605 bass service manual with schematic.The preamp has built in NE-1 parametric EQ for midrange control. Original PCB is double sided so I redesigned to single side PCB. I have not built it yet but have plan to do. On my PCB I designed the way that IC's are mounted on track side :oops: , but if legs are bent backwards it will fit as normal. If there are interest to make this preamp feel free to use or modify these files. The PCB is drawn on Sprint Layout 6.

EWS Trilogic here : viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16263&p=232387&hili ... ic#p232387

But no conclusion at the end. Perhaps they need Mr Bajaman magic touch ?

the first is normalized to all controls flat (mid way)
then: full bass boost, full bass cut, full mid boost, full mid cut, full treble boost, and finally full treble cut.

Hi, i don't know how to read these grafs on page 5. I'm curious what is center frequencies of these preamp.
Thanks for help!

Are C13 electrolitic or no ?

Guys

What about using charge pump to increase the available voltage adding more headroom? Does it short the battery life?

Just curious which forum that was, I don't remember ...

(based on the file-names I'm fairly sure I did make those scans from a Dutch magazine)

Well it is you by the name on the other forum, thank you for sharing, but if you want it to be removed ask administrators to delete it.

Digging this Sadowsky preamp up from page 3.
It makes sense to have treble-cut as well, and that has indeed been added as the VTC (Vintage Tone Control...)

So you have four controls in total: Bass-Boost, Treble-Boost, Volume and Passive-Tone (Treble-Cut).

There are reasons for putting the Passive Tone control before the preamp,
as well as for putting it after the preamp.

Just curious, anybody an idea what the original does here ?
