Afterlife - "Bright Cut"

[irmcdermott]

So, I know this isn't necessary because the Afterlife is pretty transparent, but on one of my guitars it seemed like when i turned it on, I got some extra treble in there. So, I added a switch and cap parallel with R3 and the LDR. I tested values from 100pF all the way up to 820pF, and in the end landed on 330pF. At least for this particular guitar that seemed to take of some of the extra "bite" I felt like I was hearing, but wasn't too drastic. 220p was good too. Anything above 330pF was too drastic/dark.

Easiest way I hooked this up was using a DPDT ON-ON switch. I removed R3 and soldered wires there soldered the wires and 220K resistor to the middle lugs of the switch, and then just soldered the cap to one side, leaving the other empty. Presto, change-o, done.

Again, minor mod, but served it's purpose for my situation.
