Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the presence function on a Hotrod Deluxe does? I can hear the tone become brighter when I turn it up but I'm not sure exactly what "presence" it's making stronger.

The best way to think of it is as a 'very high treble' control. The usual Bass, Middle and Treble controls are *usually* used for the main character of the tone, things like 'presence' and 'deep' controls are then a good way to compensate for different sounding rooms (splashy or dull, tight or boomy) without altering the sound you spent all that time getting right elswhere! I reckon, anyhow...  |

Yeah, very few care that it affects the negative feedback path from the output to the phase inverter.  |

Thanks Sumgai, I will endeavour to apply that elsewhere- although in real life I am tall, and sour!  Kuzi, I'm keen to know the power of 'reckon'  I always enjoy pointing out the little differences between the English and American languages, but even my dear lady wife reckons she heard it used growing up over there... |
