Any reason I couldn’t use this Chineseium Stepped attenuator for my volume Pot?  Any benefits?

 

[Paul Joppa]

If it fits the available space and mounting holes, it should work well. The measurable advantage is better channel balance. Subjectively it may sound slightly different, too.

That said, I expect there will be a version of our 2-stage switched attenuator for Moreplay out this year.

 

[Dzrout]

I’d much rather wait for yours! Thank you for the reply!

If I am reading the circuit diagram correctly the 10k volume pot is a 2W unit. Does it need that high a rating? It doesn't pass DC current, but I can't figure out what AC power it might need to dissipate. I ask because I'm considering stepped pot as well for mine.

 

[Paul Birkeland]

There are ways to set up a Moreplay where that part cooks off some power.  When I am bench testing amps and I need a lot of driving signal, I will run one channel of the first prototype Moreplay into the input of the second channel, and that could easily put 16V across that pot, but even then that's only 20mW.

Thank you Paul.

I know it’s only been a month. But any news on that Stepped attenuator? Lmao

What about a khozmo remote stepper? Maybe won't fit I guess?

It would be awesome if the manual had instructions of how to wire a remote pot. Even if its unofficial (on the forums).

 

[Paul Birkeland]

The Khozmo remote attenuator is very, very deep.  You could mount it on the front surface of the wood base possibly.

+1 for the Bottlehead Stepped Attenuation upgrade.  ;D

Paul could we get some instructions on how to install a remote pot ?

This is one of those things that you'll have to figure out on your own, especially since it's something I've never done!

Paul,
Any update on the upgrade for Moreplay?Looking for a Christmas gift for myself.

 

[Mucker]

IMO, don't let the upgrade hold you back from Moreplay. You never get back those days you missed out.  :-*

 

[joegibney]

My Moreplay is up and running with several of my own mods, just interested in what Botthead would do. I always considered the factory modifications more desirable.

 

[Mucker]

Oh, I misunderstood and thought you didn't even have a Moreplay. My bad. I agree upgrades directly from Bottlehead will be the best one's.

 

[Paul Birkeland]

I am working on something that is very much Moreplay related, but not exactly expected.

You are 100% right. I play mine at daily base.

I cant wait to see whats the upgrade will be.

Cheers from Fla.

Andre.

So we now need to wait for not only the potentiometer upgrade but something else aswel?
Any details ?

 

[Paul Joppa]

If we shared detailsit wouldn't be unexpected,wuld it?  :^)

Seriously, until we listen to  a prototype there's nothing to say.
