Changed it out and yes, it does seem to speed up the attack a little. But...I’m not sure I like it as much lol. It seems to make the attack knob more useful like it has a bigger “throw”. I’m going to live with it a few days. I still can get it to mangle drums...but I do that about...never. Before I changed this out I had kind of settled in with the unit and learned the attack knob...it was slower than I expected a 76 to be, but once I figured out that to really get a fast attack you had to basically max the attack, I had kindve gotten over that. Now this just makes me re-learn...And that makes the ocd part of me a little nervous.

It makes me wonder if part of the charm with this unit - especially on vocals - is that it doesn’t seem as grabby as other 76’s. Thinking back, that was kind of the reason I never really got along with them on vocals (and the pinching). You could hear them working. My suggestion - unless you’re ultra curious - is to leave well-enough alone.

Hmm, if I had the parts, I would mod one, leave the other stock, thenpatch same signal into both units same settings and hear see: just sayin !

Man. This thing on bass is pretty badass. Did you decide to keep the mod?

Haven’t had much more time with it...but yes I think it gives the attack knob a little more range.

So I was switching back to the 22k resistor, soldered it in and hooked it up...no gain reduction and output seemed maxed. Uh oh. I screwed something up. Luckily, I thought to open it back up and check the output and input connectors which I unsnapped in order to unscrew the pcb. One of the wires had pulled away a little from the output connector prong...I made sure it stayed in when connecting it back and boom...working again. (I think I might be a genius) Anyway, if anyone needs any technical help, feel free to PM expert Johnkenn. Lol
As for the mod - my understanding from reading about this on the interwebs is that changing this resistor basically makes the input more touchy...therefore changing the attack times (faster) slightly. But after all this, I think I kind of like where it was. It’s just killer and smooth on things...but I was obsessing that I couldn’t get it to smash drums. Well, I do that about....never. So, I’m back to the 22k resistor at R46 and sealing this thing shut.

Apparently the new site with updated production data goes live in a couple of days: hopefully that clarifies things.
