 Hi!

Can somebody of owners of 9Volt EM* please tell me, what is typical resistance of this trimmer when adjusted properly (maximal feedback before self-oscillations start)? Or at least is it somewhere in the middle, or close to min, close to max..?

I'm trying to nail character of this pedal but with different BBD (not so important at this point) and with altered RC network to get unity gain without need of active output amplification if possible (original gain seems to be approx. 0.33 /-10dB/, I don't like it). It may sound crazy but since whole network is mostly passive, everything influences everything and value set on this trimmer has indispensable impact on final AC characteristics (mainly of "wet" /delayed/ signal, e.g. cca -4dB at 1kHz when going from 10k to 0).

Thanks, T.

* according to tonepad schematic..
