Tone Stack Bypass RAW control

Post by Eges »

Well after reading Hasserl's tone stack bypass method it made alot of sense to me and wanted to implement it. Am I doing it right?

Here is the method Hasserl explained: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index ... t-29830804

Here is my shitty paint edit, bypass toggle activates the RAW control:

I believe he means to bypass it like this. I added the cap to block DC, and the bypass switch to get the full 1 Meg for "normal" mode from any partial-bypass setting. There will still be some effect from the tone controls with this bypass technique.

Oh btw 1 meg is still a pot right so I can change the tone stack bypass ratio. And switch turns it out of the circuit right?

Yes, it's a pot. The switch doesn't remove it from the circuit, just makes it go to the full 1Meg while preserving the setting. Alternatively, a switch in series with the pot could be used to open the bypass circuit and completely remove it, but it would be a good idea to put a large resistor across the switch to eliminate popping.
