Abstract

See full text

A tone control for string instruments includes a pair of potentiometers each coupled in series relationship with a respective filter capacitor. The pair of potentiometers are mechanically coupled one to the other for concurrent mechanical travel of respective displaceable contacts thereof to provide selective filtering of one or more pick-up sensors of the instrument. Responsive to selective positioning of the displaceable contacts of the pair of potentiometers, signals input thereto are high pass filtered, low pass filtered or unfiltered. The tone control can serve as a master tone control where separate tone controls are connected to series coupled pairs of pickup coils and coupled to the master tone control through a blend configuration control.
