Fixed gain shelf eq - schematic request

[maertz13]

Howdy

I’m wondering if there’s an easier, smaller parts count approach to making a fixed gain low shelf eq, essentially a baxandall with the bass dimed. It’s going at the end of an HM-2 eq circuit to make up for the steep low end drop off. It never needs to be adjusted. Specifically a shelf, not a gyrator

Sure, I could put it on trim pots and bury it, but that’s still a lot of circuitry that won’t be used. So is there any easier approach?

Learn me, my dudes

Thanks

I don’t really follow. Low end drop off on an HM-2? The low end is the best part

the stuff BELOW and around the 80hz peak. there's a noticeable WOOMPH in that pedal, but even with more than 15dB of gain at ~80hz, it still sounds kinda thin. I'm being asked for a wall of sludge. i've breadboarded it with a full baxandall and sent over a clip. it was received well, i'd just love to be able to do it with a lower parts count.

Sorry, HM-2 below 80Hz? Is this for a bass? Or an idiot?

Sorry I'm being a very judgemental but unless it's for bass guitar, is there no bass guitar or kick drum involved?

From my experience as doing live sound and also mixing recordings, it just sounds like the kind of thing someone thinks they want, and later on with more experience understand they were mistaken and it is not a good idea. In my opinion, it's reasonable to try and help someone if that is the case so they can maybe skip a few steps and avoid making that mistake.

Of course I could be wrong and they know exactly what they are doing (like for example if it was for a bass guitar, or there is no bass guitar involved), and in the end "the customer is always right" in that you should sell them what they want even if it's stupid.

I can't help with the schematics, otherwise I would, but hopefully someone else can.
