Crate Tone Stack
« on: August 27, 2024, 08:45:10 pm »
Hello-
    I have spent a fair amount of time studying and playing with the tone stacks shown on the Duncan TSC site. What a great resource. My question is in regards to the Crate tone stack. I am drawn to it after playing with settings of T,M,B and watching the responses. I found the same tone stack as shown on TSC site in the Crate BlueVoodoo 60H schematic. I would like to hear reports and opinions of this tone stack. Not so much the amp but the tone stack. I am considering using it in a build for just a basic, clean pedal platform build. It is specified as 1K source driver impedance on TSC site but stack is plate driven in 60H amp. I did look at displays on TSC site of a 38K source impedance for this stack. Any opinions as to whether it would be better plate driven or cathode follower? I realize that some of the Crate amps are solid state and was curious if that is why the 1K source impedance is specified? Thanks all!

Thanks for schematic LaTole. However, the tone stack I was specifically referring to is in a different portion of amp schematic and resembles the one on the TSC site nearly identically.
