I posted a link in the chat to the Duncan Tone Stack Calculator with the Underground Accelerator values plugged in, I can find it again when I'm back on a computer. The values change based on the other controls, there are no real fixed peaks.
I'm seeing 1:1 line transformers on their website, I'm not seeing any DI transformers. Am I just missing it?
Thanks. I'm an idiot that doesn't exactly know what that graph means except that the pedal is scooped in the mids? What I'm wondering is, what frequencies do the bass, mid and treble knobs control?
I don’t know much about this but isn’t this right, unbalanced to balanced transformer?

You can fiddle with the sliders on the left to see what different knob positions do to the EQ curve. The thing about this type of EQ circuit is that each knob doesn't necessarily control a certain frequency. The controls are interactive, so if you mess with the bass knob for instance, you might change the mid response as well.
Got it, thanks. Just saw Senor Sushi's response as well. Makes sense.
Exactly. You can make it pretty flat by setting the mid to 10, and bass & treble to .5 each
That's just a 1:1 line transformer though, another important factor of DI transformers is impedance matching, typical is 12:1 ratio (200k to 1.5k on the Jensens).
So the day before I left on vacation I got my new Montreal Assembly PURPLL, so I hadn't even unboxed it yet. I still haven't plugged it in yet, but I opened it and looked at the guts, and I am blown away. A lot of pedal builders you can tell learned circuit board design from forums or from trial and error, but when someone is really a professional you can tell. And Montreal Assembly circuit board design looks amazing. I absolutely love the way it was engineered, it is a very well-designed pedal.
I haven't even plugged it in yet, and I already freaking love it

Man, I missed the Q&A.. I really wanted to check that out. Guess the vid is still up there?
It is! Or was. I watched after the fact. Worth the watch
.
Yup, should still be there. If I was really bored I could edit the video down to just leave the important parts and re-upload that. But I literally don't remember the last time I was legitimately bored
If you were really bored, you could design that tube metal zone…Yup, should still be there. If I was really bored I could edit the video down to just leave the important parts and re-upload that. But I literally don't remember the last time I was legitimately bored
Really well made gear, unique products and they are very cost competitive. MTL could bump 20% and wouldn’t miss a sale. Have fun with the PURPLL.So the day before I left on vacation I got my new Montreal Assembly PURPLL, so I hadn't even unboxed it yet.

I thought I gave that a firm "No...but I'll think about it...but still no...but I'll still think about it."
Just what I like to hear. Now about that bass Black Eye…I thought I gave that a firm "No...but I'll think about it...but still no...but I'll still think about it."

Oh yeah.... MTL ASM are a class act. I've only got a Count to 5, but between the firmware implementation & flexibility and the pedal's front panel functions, I'm constantly amazed that it's in such a small box, notwithstanding what it DOES. And the PURPLL demos make it high-octane GAS
So the guy I have doing graphics for me sent me a couple designs for the production Underground Accelerator last week. I gave him the file I used for London Underground and mentioned I was thinking of starting with that, so he basically did what I was going to try to do. It looked okay, but I wasn't blown away.
So today I asked him to try starting from scratch, just ignore my directions and design what he thought would look cool. He sent me three designs, and I am blown away. I was able to eliminate one of them as I like the other two better but I'm torn between those two. I'm thinking about making two enclosures and printing both of them so I can see what they'll look like on aluminum then make a decision on that.
So anyway, I'm getting ready to mill an enclosure or two for Underground Accelerator to try it out. Super excited!
On an unrelated note I also finally plugged in my PURPLL tonight and that was excellent as well. I've never had an original, but I built a clone for a friend years ago (I charged $500 for that one as it was not an easy build), and the PURPLL blows away my clone. All the same features as well as some extras, in a smaller enclosure, with top jacks, soft switching (I saw the PIC inside, color me impressed) and at a downright absurdly low price. I am never building a PLL clone again, if anyone asks for one I'm pointing them to MTL ASM.
