I occurs to me that I skipped over a couple Fender Tone Stacks: The Bandmaster and the Princeton 5F2.
The 5F2 amp uses a simple one-knob TONE control that acts as a treble cut below noon and a treble bleed above noon.
The Bandmaster amp used a few different tone stacks over the years. This one showed up in the 6G7. Sorry the image quality isn't great. It uses one less capacitor than the more common Fender tone stack and the controls interact considerably.
This tone stack shows up in the Ibanez Mostortion pedal. It takes a few more parts, but performs better that the standard Fender TMB stack IMO. There is less interaction between controls and MID goes from cut to boost. If you guys know of any amps that use this circuit, let me know.
Looks like there will have to be a part 1d to discuss Vox Tone Stacks.
