Changing the Capacitors on LPB

[oxygentang]

Hello there,
I have read thru' the forum and understand that lowering the capacitors' value of the LBP will enhance the treble. Do I need to change both the capacitors on the circuit or just one of it? If just one, which one do I swap out?  Thanks in advance.

When I( did it and it worked on Vero, I used two 0.22uF capacitors and it sounded much better.

.22 caps would let more lower frequencies through.
To enhance the treble, use say a .047 for starters.......check the schematics for the EH screaming bird/tree.
For the most part, those are just LPB2's with different values.

actually I think I used 0.022uFs.  Oops... haha

  I like trying series caps, right on the switch, solder blobs are easier to pick up with the iron tip or shake out when they don't touch copper on board.
 I also like putting 1m pulldowns from ground, creating a V shape to the circuit input/output switch lugs, and enough lead length to switch to make an EZ to solder to [and less internal switch heating] place...seein' how much I liked altering input caps etc., or switchin' circuits 'n boxes around.

Connect a spdt switch between the stock value and one that is a lot smaller that way you can switch on the fly to treble..

There is a way to do this with several single position switches.....

Remember a caps in parallel is equal to the sum of both values..if you do it that way!!!!

so if you have a .005 lets say and than switch to add a .022 in parallel you would than
have  005
         022
         027 total after switching that way you can have like a bass setting and a treble setting....THIS is just an example

I do this on FUZZES
