Tone Controls

A commonly used tone-control network for classic guitar amplifiers is called the tone stack and consists of three capacitors, two fixed resistors, and three potentiometers (typically labeled ``bass,'' ``midrange,'' and ``treble'').^D.12Digitization of the tone stack using the bilinear transform is described in [570]. The coefficient formulas from that paper can be readily implemented in Faust.
