I did some re-reading in the _Guitar Handbook_ by Ralph Dreyer (no BSEE

The single guitar pickup example:

less volume;
more volume
R1 = 0 to 500 K log for passive tone control
C1= 0.02 mf (lower gives you more tone affect from R1)

itself (10 or 100 K)? I get 318 Hz for f (3 db break) in this circuit (did

It is physically small but the value is unknown. Actuall I can see CTI's
the loading effect of the crystal.
Are you referring to the impedance(X) of the crystal? If so, it's
have an effect on the freq response of the crystal but since we don't know
determine how it'll effect any source.

Fellow harpists,
that Little Walter uses on the following songs:
