02.08 - Uproar documenatation updated

[madbean]

The Uproar doc has been updated to what should be (and I hope) the last revision. This revision came about from getting an actual Riot here in the "shop" and having some time to do side-by-sides. Please be sure to replace any existing Uproar doc you may have previously downloaded with this one.

hey madbean,

your explanation of the SDMB MOD has me a bit confused.  It looks like you are adding capacitance in parallel with a Low Pass Filter (R1/C2), which would cut treble and not bass.  Am I missing something?

[madbean]

I probably did not describe that very accurately...it sounds closer to creating a resonance peak rather than just rolling off top or bottom. Maybe the 470k to Vb also contributes to the filtering? I need to look that up.

i wondered if that's that I was missing after I wrote that post.


I can also believe that rolling off treble will have this stuck wah effect, because while a wah has a very sharp peak that can be swept up and down, it is heavily filtered on the treble side of the peak, and not as much on the bass side.

[madbean]

Definitely. It is actually a very cheap trick, but I liked the way it sounded.
