Echo Base and humbuckers

[Hupla]

Ok so im just doing up the echo base now With taylor's fantastic PCB and I have already done the mod for humbuckers that replaces the two 47k resistors with 22k ones and Im just wondering if I shud still bother leaving out the 2 diodes? As I heard that helps aswell?

Yeah, do it, it helps with high gain humbuckers, I have almost no distortion in mine after taking the diodes out and at infinite repeats it still sounds great

thanks slade ill just leave them out then. but if it sounds crap i know who to blame

I left mine in, after changing the resistors.  Why don't you put them on a switch?

Ah I just dont want loads of switches on it. Im leaving out the tails switch too. If I badly need it, it's only an afternoons work.

Do you have them on a switch though? Id be interested in hearing the difference with and without?

No I initially had taken them out before I lowered the resistors, but ended up putting them back in. For my JB pickup it's just about right. I figure an analog voiced delay wants to have some distortion on the repeats, and this is subtle enough that it still sounds good when clean.
