I'm making major headway on the project of turning this into a properly working console, so far I have made all the mic pre's into 312's w/ transformer out, fully balanced line & tape inputs, added a true input flip, changed the MTR routing from mono only to stereo, got rid of the crazy "monitor" idea and made this into a stereo console with 60 inputs in mix..... here is my current question:
Most of the interstage caps are 10 uF (tants) but the final one to the transformer from the transistor pair is always 330 uF. Why so high a value? What effect would changing it to 10, or 100 uF, or somewhere in the range where it seems that most other gear uses? Am I correct in thinking that the higher the value, the higher the corner of the filter frequency, so the low end could suffer from too high a value?
