Reckless Tone

Using it

Double-click a part on the schematic, type a value (47n, 56k) and press Enter; Escape cancels. The plot beside it shows the stack's response. The stack only loses level, so press Recover to give it back.

Controls

Close-up	Control	Range	Default	What it does
	Bass	0 to 10	5.0	The bass pot, a log taper as on the amp.
	Mid	0 to 10	5.0	Low deepens the scoop; high fills it and lifts the level.
	Treble	0 to 10	5.0	How much of the treble capacitor's path reaches the output.
	Volume	-24 to +24 dB	0 dB	The level after the stack.
	C1	47 pF to 4.7 nF	470 pF	Bigger fills the scoop; smaller loses treble.
	C2	2.2 to 220 nF	22 nF	Bigger moves the scoop down; smaller loses bass.
	C3	2.2 to 220 nF	22 nF	Bigger loses bass; smaller fills the scoop.
	R1	22 kΩ to 2.2 MΩ	220 kΩ	Treble pot: bigger lets the mids through it.
	R2	100 kΩ to 10 MΩ	1 MΩ	Bass pot: bigger is more bass to have.
	R3	2.2 to 220 kΩ	22 kΩ	Mid pot: smaller deepens the scoop, bigger fills it.
	R4	3.3 to 330 kΩ	33 kΩ	Bigger starves the bass; smaller lifts everything under the treble.
	Recover	button		Sets Volume to what the stack loses on pink noise.
	Stock	button		Puts the seven parts back to the amp's values; knobs stay.

Reset to defaults puts the seven parts back too.

Tips

• On the Pedalboard, put it after a Drive or Distortion and before the Cab.
• The 1959 original: C1 250 pF, R1 250 k, R3 25 k, R4 45 k, C2 and C3 20 nF. Save it as a preset.
• The controls interact: watch the plot. Parts automate smoothly.
