Induction to the rescue! I had suspected that impedance would be an issue here, so it's great to hear your input induction.

I also prefer the SHO as a "building block" compared to the LPB. With the LPB the gain of the transistor is fixed at a high level with a "master volume" whereas the SHO has variable gain. The variable gain has better noise performance and less distortion when you don't need the gain at max. That's not even mentioning the input and output impedance.


My question to you is this induction;

What would be an ideal scenario for the output impedance for the previous stage (directly preceding the tonestack)? A stable low output impedance? Would a buffer in that position help to stabilize the performance of the tonestack?

This is something I've wondered about a lot, as I see people having issues with simply hacking a tonestack into an existing circuit


Thanks induction
