From the thread Neil suggested, I ran both the Crest and ASP versions of the parametric EQ circuit in Spice and simplified it to my needs. Fixed frequency, fixed Q and two predefined amounts of gain turn it into a really simple circuit! It turns out the Crest outperforms the ASP version in terms of THD+N performance. It seems to me the ASP was a “designed for manufacturing” version of the original Crest idea, with 10K pots (cheaper/simpler to find) instead of the various higher values used by Crest. As I don’t need pots anyway, I went for best performance.</div><div><br></div><div>Rutger</div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 06 Jul 2020, at 21:33, Eric Schlappi <<a href="mailto:eric.schlappi@gmail.com" target="_blank">eric.schlappi@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div>I've been looking at gyrator based EQ circuits lately, basically replacing an inductor in a passive filter with an active circuit (transistor or op amp).

<br>
I’m hoping for some collective wisdom on the following issue. I’m trying to make myself a fancy (analog) guitar buffer with some basic tone controls. I already implemented a switchable high shelf filter (bright switch), and an adjustable 1-pole HPF for cutting bass. Now i would also like to implement a switchable mid-frequency scoop. With a VST parametric equalizer I found a bell-shaped curve with a certain Q and frequency I liked, and would like to implement this with a switch to select a few preset gains (boost/scoop). But I struggle to find a good analog circuit topology that fits my (simple) needs. Google turns up a lot of digital implementations, or way too complex equalizer circuits where every aspect can be controlled, but of which I don’t understand how to set gain, Q and frequency. Any suggestions for a simple bell-shaped EQ for which Q, gain and frequency can be set (and forget)?<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
<br>
Rutger<br>
