IME it behaves like a shelving control and rolls off everything 2.8 and above which is why I like adding a passive tone to use with the high mid. As an example, this is a recent upgrade I had done.

Darkglass Electronics Tone Capsule Preamp

You can use a stacked pot. Email Darkglass tech support. They can send you a link to a plug and play pot. Or you can order the preamp from Spector which has an internal trim.pot for the low mids.
I would get one straight from Spector with the internal pot for the low mids then. You can find the spot you like it and forget about it.
I just took delivery of a bass with an 18V DGTC installed. Getting intermittent, high-pitched whizzing noise from it. I will have to investigate a bit more, since the interference could be external, but if it's not - what could be causing it? It's like a tinnitus kind of sound.
It's a Spector NS-2000/5 DB (Dan Briggs) model. I had the tone pump swapped for the DGTC. Going to the rehearsal space today too see if the noise persists.

I have not, but there’s nothing special about it. It will work just like any other blend pot.
Happy to report the interference was local. No issues whatsoever in the rehearsal space yesterday. Love having two mid controls!
Mine is wired Volume-push/pull for active passive, blend, bass, Stacked Low/High Mids.
I want to blend active/passive, if doable, not the individual pickups...
If I do it it'll be a 1 pickup instrument.
Thanks, though...
Hi guys, I know this is an old thread but I just got a tone capsule installed in my Dingwall and it's really fun so far. Having owned a B7k for years it's exactly what I thought it would be in a good way.
My favorite things about this preamp so far with the little I've played it
The bass frequency not being ridiculously low, I'm looking at you emg at 30hz
How usable the cut is on 500 hz atleast with my setup, I don't usually have a use for active cut controls but this one rules.
I like the hi mids instead of treble bc it feels fairly usable in extreme settings without that 10k/steel string like boost happening.
One thing I will note is it seems really loud compaired to my original preamp which was some emg circuit but that's not a bad thing for my preference. Series mode is perfect with this thing on board!

I agree. I have 3 Spectors with different preamps. The tonecapsule is the most usable. I can crank the bass without blowing the speakers out the cab.
I experienced the same. However, a spectrum analyser shows some changes at around 3kHz, but it is barely audible.
I don't know what is going on.
