[sdiy] Op Amp Question

Hi Harry,

Hopefully the schematic I just send is readable. The other 22k resistor 
is there because when the switch is off I still want the op amp 1 output 
(at half the level of when the switch is on).

Op amp 1 is an integrator (no feedback resistor but a feedback cap). Op 
amp 2 has a 22k feedback resistor. Would the fact the OA1 is an 
integrator be a problem?

Regards,
Stewart.
