back into the signal to open the sound up. I would prefer Mark's design for fuzz and distortions and this new design for compressors and chorus pedals, or other circuit designs where a clear high end is desired. I recommend R1=50k and C1=0.022uF as starting values for this circuit. The next logical question is "How can we combine the two circuits?". After a bit of thought, I found a way to accomplish this. By adding a single resistor and moving the position of the tone control potentiometer, I have made a tone control circuit that has a response that can be altered from high cut to high boost as the knob is turned. As with the previous "Stupidly Wonderful" circuits, the output resistance is constant so the volume does not vary as the tone control is adjusted. When the wiper is at the grounded end of the tone pot, the R1/C1 network makes a low pass filter exactly as with the original SWTC, and there is a treble cut. When the wiper is adjusted so that it is at the top end of the pot, the C1 cap bypasses R2 and it creates a treble boost as in the previous SWTC2 circuit on this page. The 100k tone pot and the 100k output volume are always in parallel as a constant load. A linear taper pot is suggested for the tone control and a log (audio) taper for the volume control. Suggested values for beginning experimentation are R1=10k, R2=47k, and C1=0.022uF. A limitation of this combined tone control is that there is some signal loss, as with any passive network. However, many pedal designs have plenty of output signal level, and this tone control is an excellent option for those circuits with enough drive. Use this new tone control circuit as you like but credit where you learned about it. A link would be nice too!
