How long has SD been using this stuff?

Re: Butyrate

Butyrate is only used on Seths and Ants. To my knowledge it's only been used as long as those pups have been in production.

Re: Butyrate

Yes, that I know,,but how long is the question more spefically what year was the first year they used it?

Re: Butyrate

Well you said that like all the pups use butyrate. I want to say the Seths been out about 15yrs.

That would be about right, because SD did not get the formulas until right before Seth passed in 97...thanks!

Re: Butyrate

Authenticity is cool and all that, but does the specific plastic of the bobbins (and wooden vs. plastic spacers, yadda yadda) affect the tone?

Some say that a 3 ply vs single ply pickguard affects the tone.
So wood vs plasitc spacers..with super sensitive hearing might detect the differences..

Re: Butyrate

True, true, but it's a good question over whether or not it's a real difference. We talk about this stuff all the time in pro audio (hang out at kvraudio's forums, btw), and a lot of "clear differences" magically disappear when put in a proper double-blind experiment. But fwiw, I think it's entirely possible that the type of plastic does make a difference!

I agree, was SD using only wood spacers in the early days and not butyrate..? or at that time was he buying the bobbins and other parts from the outside and assembling the hums?
