Hello. I've searched and read some articles but am still confused. I can't download the tone stack calculator (I'm on an older mac), which I've read is highly recommended. I would like to understand the interaction of the tone stack controls. For example, how does changing the treble setting impact the bass frequencies and vice versa. And how does the Middle knob affect both treble and bass? My understanding is that they are interactive. Also, I am used to amps with only Treble and Bass. How do I set the Middle so, effectively, it's not there. I've tried using my ear, but I can't seem to find that position -- don't like any position I've tried! Any help in understanding the tone stack would be appreciated!

Hi ampman288,

For amps with a mid pot, I typically like to set the mid very low, maybe 10 o'clock or lower and use the bass and treble more for tone shaping. Many amps that don't have a mid pot still have a resistor in the tone stack, basically a fixed value for the mids. You might consider changing the value of the caps in your tone stack for some better response.
