Title: Green bean output cap question
Post by: Taillie on July 25, 2017, 07:38:51 PM
I'm building the greenbean, it is nearly done. While looking at other schematics, I noticed that all other ts variants use a 10 uf output cap. This version uses a 1 uf.  I was wondering if this will significantly alter the sound or if in this case the smaller cap wont cut much bass.  Normaly i would just try this on the breadboard or with sockets, but at this point the board is nearly done and don't want to start desoldering, if the difference is slight. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

1uF/10k rolls off starting at 16Hz and 10uF/10k at 1.6Hz. Both are below threshold of hearing.

Thank you. That was a fast reply, it saved me a lot of time and trouble, and possibly from destroying the board needlessly.
