Thanks for the link, very nice article!
    This is awesome. I was trying to find something like this (without success) a while ago. Now I just need to read it every day until it sticks!

      Thanks
        I read it and it helped. A lot.
        But ... I don't think though that he's achieved his goal of making it accessible to laymen.
        Or at least not this layman!
        ?
          I like this bit:
          I like to think of this as scientific proof that if you aggressively scoop your mids you are confused by tone and trying to avoid as much of it as possible

            I'm not saying that I understand it, but I now have a slightly better understanding of what to expect when I twiddle the knobs and I'll listen differently to the changes knowing at a basic level that there's interplay between them.
              Great article, thanks refuogee ?
              It'll take a bit more time to get my head around it fully, but I kind of get the gist of it.... I think.

              My favourite was:
              because mids are higher than bass, silly.
                clearly i'm neither human, nor do i speak english. i'm gonna have to spend some serious time digesting this one. the overall concept, though, is that each knob colours the others? or am i way off base?

                i think it's definitely time i got a decent amp. with far too many knobs.

                  Maybe this will help some of you somewhat with the interdependence of ranges.

                    System requirements

                    Operating system: Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT. Tone Stack Calculator is a 32 bit application, and has not been tested to run under Windows 3.1 or 3.11 with win32s installed.

                    Processor: Minimum 486, recommended Pentium or better.

                    Display: 640 x 480 or greater, with 16 colour capability, as a minimum. Recommended 800x600 or better. Large fonts are supported.
                    Ah sweet nostalgia.... When last did you install something that needs "16 colour" or a processor that supports "Intel MMX technology" etc.?

                      there's 256mb ram on my kids' machine's video card. there was about that much space on my hdd in my first windows 95 machine.

                      tech. you gotta larf.

                        It actually works fine for me under Win7. Anyway, the point was about 'seeing' in log graph how the frequencies shift when you turn the knobbies :rolleyes:

                          Interesting... I'm keen to hear from the techies too.
                            WRT the original post, do the three band eq's on acoustic guitars' pre-amps respond in the same way as an amp's tone stack?
                              Hey Rikus,

                              Thank you so much for that link, I can't wait to go and try it tonight!! I'm a tone nerd ?

                                Most preamp circuits I've looked at are 'true' EQs, not the strange combination of dumb and brilliant that is the FMV stack. much less interaction between the three bands
