[sdiy] Filter Not so strangeness

Well,

I ditched the sallen key filter I was working on, mainly because I had made
just couple more mistake than I felt like fixing.  : )  So I've been looking
around at different designs.

I've thrown together a PAIA 2720 VCLF  (I know...), and I love the sound,
much stronger and less noisy than the other. It also seems to like single
polarity supply.

My question now is to anyone who may have built this into a module or
whatever;

I've read that to control resonance in this circuit you need a pot in series
with the bypass capacitor that is across the emitter resistor.  I don't see
this cap in the schematic unless I'm misunderstanding the word across  (?!)
Or is the bypass cap the one at the supply input (100uf)?  I would like this
option as it would make the sound much more versatile.  Theoretically,
instead of voltage control for cutoff I could use a varying resistance from
the two .05p caps to ground right, since the voltage creates a varying
restance using the 1n914's?

Fun simple circuit though.

Thanks for your help
