Tone Stack Questions

How do you calculate the FREQUENCIES that the controls can change in the tone stack?

For example, how low in frequency does the bass control go when at zero or how high does it go when on 10?

Thanks!

Pro tip, you can save the CURL (or bookmark the page) after you dial in a custom setting you like and you'll always be able to go back to it.
