First Post: Help me make sense of Impedance and Tone Stacks
Posted: 08 Jan 2015, 00:02
Hello all,
I have been lurking on this forum for some time and decided to join the discussion (though for the time being I will be doing far more absorbing than contributing). I have learned a ton reading the various threads and am amazed at the amount of knowledge this forum has to offer.
I downloaded the Duncan Tone Stack Calculator and was looking at the Big Muff Pi Tone Stack. My question concerns the "Zsrc." I assume that has something to do with impedance. If I wanted to put that stack in another pedal, how do I determine what number needs to be plugged in there and how much does it matter? Changing that value seems to mess with the control drastically.
Thanks so much in advance. I know little, but some day I hope to contribute to this forum in a way that is helpful to people in the same way many of you have been helpful to me.
