Is this a cathode cap you switch in and out Scott?

Re: The *umble Deep Switch
You take the DPDT bright switch, add a cap and three resistors and run them to various spots on the bass, mid and treble pots.
It just fattens and sweetens up the tone beyond what I was expecting. My old Two Rock had a similar switch on it.

I'm not familiar with this switch. What's it do? Sounds like a treble shelving filter. Am I close?

I have to look at my Fender scematics,but I remember the BF Bassmans having a switch that added a .1 cap or removed it....I think it was called a deep switch also?

Re: The *umble Deep Switch
Hmm... it has an effect on the amp that sucked me in last night. I've got the bright cap 120pf hard wired, no longer on a switch. But that might change when I get back in town. I wired the DPDT bright switch with 1 cap and 3 resistors. It has a way of just opening up the amp and giving it this 3D quality. Blew me away. I just sat there playing an Asus, then barring it up and down the neck, chording and fingerpicking. I literally sat there rather mesmerized for about 45 minutes or so. I'm digging it a lot. I will try it with a few other values on the bright cap. Funny thing, in deep mode, it drops the gain of the preamp a bit, giving up more clean headroom which was another of our goals.

My old bass player had a silverface bassman and it did indeed have a "deep" switch. It gave that amp a lot of girth.

Re: The *umble Deep Switch
Scott's mod is more involved though if he's using a few resistors to make the changes...
