Hi Everyone,
Is there a safe way to disable/bypass the OD II's tone control? (I would prefer it to be tone neutral)


(sorry if this has already been asked elsewhere, I did search but couldn't find)

Thanks
Martin

To bypass the tone control take the tone pot out and put a jumper on the outer lugs where the tone pot used to be. I'm not sure if this will sound "neutral" though.

I would imagine not. With no "Tone" Pot, no signal/frequencies are being fed to ground. Gonna imagine results would be very unappealing without adjusting some other parameters (of which I don't know at this point)

I'm not sure myself but do you need a fixed filter in the feedback? If so you could fix your tone stack.

You should be able to set the tone knob where you like it, take it out of the signal path, measure the resistance and put a resistor in it's place.

Won't work like that. He'd have to measure the resistance between Lugs 3 and 2, then between Lugs 2 and 1. Then he have to place two resistors in those empty areas.

Hi Everyone,
I found this somewhere else for the Tubescreamer. I may get some control over tone with the louder trim pot or may have to play the 220ohm to set it flat?




Thanks for your help guys
