?? Evans Preamps

[Bob Knight]

Can someone tell me the difference between the Evans "HV" Preamp and the Original. I have owned both and prefer the performance of the original over the "HV" model. The main difference I see is the "HV" has pots instead of toggle switches for "Expand" and "Body". If I remember correctly, the manual reccomends the controls either ON <U>or</U> OFF depending on your volume and tone settings settings for both models. They seem to serve as loudness controls only. HELP!!

Thanks,

Bob,
I would suggest that you call one of the past builders'of the Evans amp / preamp .

Darrell Stephens is a real nice guy and I'll bet you would get exactly the proper and accurate answer / s to any questions you have .

I've known Darrell since "way back" during the time he was the owner / builder of the Evans amps before the company was sold a few years ago. I have always found him to be very helpful with tech questions about the Evans equipment .

His e-mail = aerostar@softdisk.com . Give him a shout and tell him I said Hi !!!! He is a forum member-- BTW .

Hope this helps .

Bob, Im no electrical engineer,but as we`ll as I remember the depth is a bass boost while the expand is a overall E.Q. change boosting high`s and low`s and cutting mid`s in the 800 area the steel mufflie area for a cleaner sound. John Hughey ask for avariable on those control`s.John ask he shall recieve. The high voltage additive is a comback from the old amps posibly working like active electronic`s to give it an extra kick in the seat of the pant`s. Bob that should be enough stupidity to get those in the know talking to you.
