Music Thing Modular Simple EQ White

Super useful two channel EQ.

------------
The top channel has Baxandall bass and treble controls

1. The bottom channel has a 'tilt' control like the one on Quad 44 hi-fi amps in the 70s. To the right, it gently boosts signals above 1kHz, cutting below. To the left it gently boosts below 1kHz, cutting above.
2. Like the Graphic Eq, this module uses NE5532 op-amps, and is based on a design in Douglas Self's masterful 'Small Signal Audio Design'. It's a clean, simple circuit with very little noise.
3. The circuit is set up so that if you push a full-range (10v point-to-point) sine wave though it at a frequency that's being boosted, it will clip. Otherwise there's a reasonable amount of headroom and a lot of boost. In other words, just enough range to push sounds into distortion. Works well in a feedback loop.
4. Constructed with a handful of (relatively large) 1206 capacitors and resistors, it's the perfect first project if you want to learn SMD soldering, and it comes with a detailed build guide from Thonk.
