    Die 4n7 in der hohen Lage dienen eher dazu, den DC-Widerstand der Pickups zu überbrücken, um dadurch den 'Effekt', den die tieferen Kondensatorgruppen haben, zu bossten.

    Awesome work as always, Christian @tinesreeds6143! Love the A/B comparison, and the technical analysis vs. actually playing and listening. I actually modified my Rhodes way back in the early 80s some time after I read this Fachblatt article, and was very pleased with the sound (like the Rhodes on the Al Jarreau albums of that era, "This Time", "Breakin' Away", and especially "Jarreau", on which the infamous Leeds Rentals E-Rhodes was used as I learned later) - exactly because of the reasons you pointed out so clearly: This mod delivered a nice balance of custom tailored bell tone for each register - while using an EQ to significantly boost 2-5 kHz made the upper register practically unusable.* Today, however, I would not want to miss the warm tone of the original Rhodes setup without those condensers, especially after your great restoration, Christian. Which brings us to… There was another mod in those days (I never had this on of my Rhodes pianos) which addressed this issue from another angle: Splitting the three main registers low/mid/high to three separate XLR outputs (not sure though if those were balanced) so the EQ could be set differently for each register…

    Danke Dir, insbesondere für den eindrucksvollen A/B Vergleich! Mein Rhodes war, als ich es kaufte, auch so verbastelt - ich hatte das damals sofort zurückgebaut. Dabei ist Vorsicht geboten: An einigen Pickup-Spulen musste ich nachlöten; die Anschlussdrähte sind empfindlich, und wenn der innere Anschlussdraht beschädigt ist hilft auch eine Wicklung abwickeln nicht, dann muss ein neuer Pickup her. Meiner Erfahrung nach lassen sich die Höhen auch mit einem guten Preamp ohne Nebengeräusche, und kontrollierter, boosten.

  • @tinesreeds6143
    @tinesreeds6143Ай бұрын

    Das ist richtig. Ich knipse die Kondensatoren teilweise ab um genau das zu vermeiden. Die Höhen mit einem EQ anzuheben ist ja eben genau das, was hiermit umgangen wird und ein EQ erlaubt es dir eben nicht z.B. die unteren 11 Gruppen separat von den darüber liegenden Gruppen zu bearbeiten. Wenn du die Frequenzen mit einem EQ bei 4.2kHz anhebst, gilt das für alle Töne, nicht nur für eine Gruppe. Und darin liegt der Vorteil dieser Modifikation. Und rein technisch ist es so, dass jede aktive Schaltung (also z.B. ein EQ) Rauschen zu dem bestehenden Signal hinzufügt. Das ist unumgänglich. Ob nun hörbar oder nicht sei mal dahin gestellt 🙂

    @@tinesreeds6143 Das ist ein guter Punkt - was mich aber an der Sache stört ist das es jeweils ein Peak- und kein Shelf-EQ ist - das 'air band' (8k+) wird sogar abgeregelt. Für Abnahme durch die passive Klangregelung auf einen TwinReverb sollte das jedoch keine Rolle spielen - da gibt's eh kein 'air band'. Vorschlag für Bastler: Man könnte die cap mod via eines jeweils in Reihe geschalteten Optokopplers auch ohne großen Mehraufwand schaltbar gestalten.

    that's interesting and the change in tone sounds really beneficial to me. but I wonder to what extent this change in character couldn't be achieved just as well by simply throwing a preamp in and fiddling with eq... ? I guess boosting different freqs across different ranges is a plus tho

  • @tom_k_d
    @tom_k_dАй бұрын

    You'll get better air band boost with an external setup, without loosing the general Rhodes softness. This cap mod seems to boost mainly the aggressive 3-5k range, which was my experience, too ( I bought a used instrument with cap mod, and removed it almost immediately). To note: for external air band boost, take the signal directly from the harp rather than passing it through the built-in passive tone control stack...

  • @tinesreeds6143
    @tinesreeds6143Ай бұрын

    Its just another sound. As I said in the video: If you use an EQ for boosting lets say 4.2kHz... this will then effect all notes and not only a group of notes. The article in the "Fachblatt" says, that this modification makes it possible to boost the bell-sound without having the upper octaves end up way too loud which is a benefit.

  • @tinesreeds6143
    @tinesreeds6143Ай бұрын

    Thanks for calculating the unit for me as you do have the insight of the development and manufacturing costs. There is absolutely no comparable preamp in the whole word available. This is an outstanding preamp. And if you would read carefully the price is including German tax. So if you aren't in the EU, its 755€ at the very moment.

    From the "US customary" measurement angle: If you are dealing with an aluminum harp support and have the original self-tapping screws, I found a 3/16" drill bit to be just the right size hole to allow the screws to cut threads the first time you screw them back in after drilling.
