Hello all!
I have a bass guitar that uses an active circuit (preamp) that contains a Texas Instruments TL-E2062CP 8 Dip Chip, listed in the DigiKey catalog as a Dual Low Power JFET Op Amp. While I have a good understanding of electronics I don't know a thing about these chips or how they work. I am interested in altering the tone of the guitar by swapping out the current chip with some others to see if I can achieve different tones. In looking at my DigiKey catalog there are a ton of 8 Dip chips available but I would have no idea where to start with trying to pick something out in some sort of logical manner that would change the electronic signal in the circuitry. The active circuit runs on 18 volts ( 2 Nine Volt Batteries ) and contains a number of taper pots to control Bass, Mids, Treble, Volume and Pickup Blend. Is there any sort of rating or information as to how specifications of these chips relate to their output? Maybe I'm taking a jump off a ledge that I have no business fooling with but would really like to educate myself on how these chips work within the overall electronic circuit of the guitar. Thanks for any help you can provide!!
