  • Nice box and another superb build mate, first class, all the best mate, Chris. :)

  • Awesome!! Thanks Bob!

  • Hell yes you can do that - and it works well!  Not only are you bleeding off some of the high end, you;re adding all the fuzziness of the piezo low end.  try it, you'll like it.

    I came up with it in my shop a few months ago and called it "active-passive tone control" (as opposed to true active tone control that uses a pre-amp).  But, when I googled I found I wasn't the first person to think of this by a long shot.  Anyway, bottom line is that a piezo is basically seen as a capacitor by the circuit.  So, solder it in just like you would a capacitor, but use longer leads so you can glue the piezo somewhere useful (like on the inside of the lid)

  • Wait...piezo as tone cap?!!??! You can do that?

  • Real nice Bob!!!
