[sdiy] equalizer

[Amos]

I'm a little rusty on my filter architecture right now... but a band-stop
filter should be just as easy as a bandpass filter, as it's basically the
same thing from a different perspective. I remember that a cheesy way to
increase the Q of your filter is to use an identical one in series... you
can gang them to the same controls, and then I think total band kill is a
definite possibility. For some reason most of the band-stop/bandpass filters
I can think of rely on inductors.... but there must be a cheaper R/C version
of the same thing, I just can't think of it. I'm away from all my books
right now. And actually, should probably get back to work... ;-)
