No, they're not in parallel. The other end of the 1k resistors go to
individual op amp outputs. I stand by my previous statement.
You may hear some improvement on the bass drum by increasing the
capacitor, but if it was a high pass at 122Hz as you state the bass drum
would be pretty much unusable from the mix output.


Regards,
Stewart.
