Hey All,
As usual, I come bearing a novice question of a gift for you all. My next build is going to be the Son Of Ben (Benson Preamp), and there is a thread about general modifications for the circuit. Two of the modifications involve either omitting a cap, changing the value of the cap, or combining all three using either a SPDT or DPDT on/off/on switch. How exactly does this work, and how exactly does it need to be wired up? I've attached a picture of the schematic, as well as the PCB, and the cap in question is C10. Ideally, I'd like to combine them all and be able to switch from the C10, to omitting C10, to a lower value for C10.
While I am curious about it for this build in particular, I would like to apply this knowledge to future builds as well, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I did some digging through searches, but didn't come up with anything as a direct how-to that breaks it down for a novice like myself. Thanks in advance!
