TLDR; would you buy a PCB that you install in your 3-CH recto to get rid of pops when channel switching? It'd cost 25-30 bucks.
I recently bought a early 2000's 3-ch triple rectifier and found it makes a loud pop when i change channels. Looking through online forums like this one, apparently the amp was just designed that way. I wasn't happy with this, so i created a circuit that does a much better job muting the output while the relays change. I was able to build one with poto-board, but it wouldn't be too much work to make a PCB and sell them if people are interested.
To install the mod you would need to:
- Solder 10 wires from the mod PCB to various locations on the main board
- cut one lead to a BJT
- Figure out where to mount the PCB in the chassis. Probably just hot glue some standoffs to the main board.
It would work with all 3-ch dual and triple rectos from the 2000's, probably some road kings, and maybe the single rectifier as well. Newer amps like Mark V wouldn't be helped by this.
So what do you think guys? Is this something you're into, or has the world moved on from this amp?
