Hogs foot... or modified LPB???

[gutsofgold]

I have an LPB I built with .82uF input and output caps for bass. It sounds pretty good, lets most of the low bass through, but colors the tone a little bit. Would the Hogs Foot be more suitable...boosting all the bass frequencies with less coloration?

  Dunno, but you can...by trying it.
  Parallel or swap the output capacitor to increase the amount of bass let out.
  Then put a switchable capacitor value for the input cap.
  Having a 'default signal path' is nice, if the switch breaks, there is still a signal path...switch across something as opposed to having all possible signal paths routed through the switch.

I really don't like the Hog's Foot clone I made. Way too bassy and it takes far too much of the contour out of the sound. Just my 2 cents worth

yep, takes away way too much treble for my taste too. so i further modified my hog's foot. 470K/47K combo, emitter to ground, 4K7 collector resistor and both input and output caps are 4.7uF
that's the whole circuit. the rest is gone.

it's a beast thats fits the name hog's foot better than the original design does... and it WILL color tone :p
