help with using utc a24 in a u47 type circuit

> I'm not sure what glass packs are

A fat pipe with a little fiber-glass. Put it in your exhaust system in place of a real muffler. It takes some of the highs out, lets ALL the bass through. With a large V-8 engine it makes an impressive sound. AutoZone can order them.

Put a pair on my van in high school... Autozone actually had em in stock, in like, 3 different lengths! (cherry bombs, the bright red ones)

Anyway....I admire your creativity and willingness to think outside the box (that the kit comes in?)... Not something you see a lot of these days.

Thank you, i find myself think that way a lot so i guess you can say that is who i am.  You guys are hilarious thought.  I just finished wiring up the mic and it sound awesome.  I still need to play with different cap before the trany and resister from point 1 from the tube to ground to get the right amount of bass for my voice.  Anybody have any favorites combos?  Also has anyone found a readable schematic for church u47?  I cant read the one on www.xaudia.com.  That is my next build.

original U47 capacitors are Siemens MP (metal-paper) . That's the part of U47 signature. Since Siemens MP's are impossible to  find you can try some Russian NOS MP caps. Very close sound to original one

Nice tip Moby.  I've finished the mic and i love the way it sounds but i'm definitely going to try the caps to these Russian NOS MP caps.
Thanks
