V3 ?
wboswell:
One of the main differences between the V2 and the V3 is how the trim pots work. Though I haven't ever owned a V2, it is my understanding that the trim was a variable resistor, hence, the more you trim the gain back the more resistence the signal receives. This isn't something that you want a lot of (i.e. you wouldn't want the gain set to 30 and the trim set -8, you would rather run the gain at 25 and the trim -3). However, the trim on the V3 is a positively configured. Is there any sound degradation by running the trim closer to 10 than to 0? Am I making sense? This past Thursday night at the 40 Watt in Athens, things were dialed in almost perfect for me: gain @ 30, trim @ 1 on the V3, consistent peaks @ -4dbs. Anyway, just got me thinking because I could have run the box @ 25 and had the trim juiced up a bit more. Comments?
Thanks, William

I was wondering the same thing, I don't think you have the same issue with the V3 even though you are adding gain, one of the things I liked about the V3 over the V2

william,
there is no sound degredation with the v3 trim pots. if you would have run the gain at +25 and the trim at +6 you would have gotten the same results. check the oade archives. i know michael has discussed this issue over there.

Thanks Dave. I found the link to the discussion. Here it is: http://www.oade.com/cgi-bin/miva?Forum/technology/showmsg.mv+message=2998
