Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice here - I have successfully modified the final stage in the Arachnid circuit to have a desirable (to me at least) Muff style tone control. What I would like to know is how to implement this successfully in future designs to minimise noise/potential pops. Given that this one was a mod I have simply put the tone control last in the circuit using some perfboard, the LPF/HPF components and a pot. It sounds nice, I'm pleased with it but theoretically would a better practice be to place it before what appears to me to be a decoupling capacitor (C15) and a pulldown resistor (R11)? (see attached image) - Can someone maybe help me demystify this a little, what is the role of the 100ohm resistor (R12) at this stage and would placing the tone control before those last three components (R12, C15, R11) be a better practice?
Any help is appreciated
