resistor capacitor values

DD_Davo · 8th February 2006, 07:52 PM

Hi,

http://www.a-car.com/john/tone_control_simple.htm I intend to use that circuit for a basic preamp ive constructed however i want a large range in terms of trebel and bass. R2 and R1 for trebel are 10k and 1k. If was to use say 20k and 100r would there be a wider scope for trebel via the potentiometer, or would i need to change capacitance values also?

Thanks

Here is what the circuit does without the proposed modification.

And here is what it does with the proposed modification:

I used SwitcherCAD to simulate the circuit. The pots were split into two resistors whose values always sum to 100k. I stepped them from 1 ohm to 99999 in 10k steps.

You can do this sort of thing too by downloading a copy of switcherCAD for free from Linear Technology. It took me about 5 minutes to set up this simulation, and a fraction of a second to run it.

Note this type of circuit has a LOT of insertion loss- behavior will be affected by source and load impedances. I used 100K load Z which is probably higher than you will use in your circuit.

Here is the modified schematic:

thanks ever so much! Downloaded the prog, seems ideal, just need to get acustomed to it. Would you mind sending me the schematic for the circuit since ive decided to add a mid control instead of altering the trebel/bass to save me from reproducing the original circuit?

Thanks again

Here you go. Download the file, then change it's extension from .txt to .asc and you'll be able to open it in SWCAD.
