Re: Joyo Ultimate Drive - less bass

I'd first change the 10uF electro coupling cap (C7 on the Harley Benton Ultimate Drive schematic - I believe it's C9 on the Joyo PCB) to around 0.1uF in film. This will remove a lot of the boominess.

I've been researching electronics recently, and I thought that might stop the signal entirely, like a diode facing the wrong direction. In fact, I saw a tutorial...

Those 47n and 100n caps are also switched on the two. I'm going to wire my Joyo both ways and see what...
