a link to mouser for a small signal tranny that is good for 20H of inductance with all windings in series. it is very small and it is <2 bucks. there is only one requirement--no DC through the coil. when placed in series with a cap, that's not a problem anyway. mouser part numbers, and inductance w/all windings in series: 42tm025 = 20H 42tl024 = 6H 42tm019 = 13H gyrators are handy and CAN be just what the doctor ordered, but having two leads and a small core to hot-glue somewhere is even easier, and thus much preferred by lazy slobs like me. ken http://www.mouser.com/products/detail.cfm?mpart=42TM025&CustRef=&source=search&CFID=16227569&CFTOKEN=17684864 Below the node where the cathode R and the cap bypass for it would normally go to ground, there is a resistor going to ground, 5k, a spst switch going to ground to by pass the resonator, paralled by a 10 k pot whose two ends are at cathode reisistor and at ground, and coming from the pot wiper a 4.47 H choke with internal r of 74 ohms, and then a cap, which I have varied from .47 to 2.2 ufd, my notes don't say where it is now. The other end of the cap is tagged to ground. For a bass, this produces a really danceable pump, if your rig is up to it, and it neatly counter balances the typical over damped low Q bass speaker. I find it easy to get a handle on eq in general by feeding a square wave through the circuit of interest and seeing how it mutates. Leading edge is treble, trailing edge is bass. Dan
