Fender 5F8 presence control

[navdave]

I've seen this schem before but never really checked it out. Anyone ever play with one of these before or clone it?
The thing that caught my eye was where Leo put the presence control.
How does this effect and work with the tone stack? Thinking about it, if was
gold it would probably still be in use.

I've played a tweed Twin in the past, and it had a lot of "sparkle" on the high end. Whether it was due to the presence control configuration or not I couldn't say.  The amp sounded great, like a supercharged tweed Bassman.

Fender was groping with several concepts.

97% of Fender players think he got the 5F6_A_ pretty good.

The 5F8 seems to be almost-there not-quite.

IMHO the 5F6-A is an accident that worked; maybe a mis-wired 5F8 that sounded different.

You could dang-near add a switch to convert this portion from one to the other.

I'm tempted to play with it just to see how it interacts with the tone stack.
