The Tone Block is undergoing a complete overhaul. Tone Block v3 will sport continuously variable controls of frequency and resonance. You asked for it; you got it!
To those who are not familiar with the Tone Block, the Tone Block is a compact (48 x 20 mm), second-order (two-pole) resonant RLC filter with variable frequency and Q (resonance). It is a general-purpose device that can be used with any pickup, both passive and active, including piezo, giving you the freedom to change each pickup’s character on the fly, from dark gothic metal to sunny surf rock.
The Tone Block allows you to dial in the characteristics of virtually any pickup. The second-order filter provides a 12dB/octave (40dB/decade) roll-off, which is exactly the response of a traditional high-impedance passive pickup that the Tone Block is meant to emulate.
Beautiful. Can’t wait to try this!
