I'm curious to know what Q-filter sounds like. There is a clip with Keystones on a Tele, but I need more exposure. I'm wondering whether the filter known as MTC offered by Ritchie Blackmore's former tech Dawk and RBTC by some other company (to my understanding, it's an almost exact replica) is some sort of Q-filter? Here is a clip of RBTC on youtube, and the text on the clip pretty much explains what it does.

I always wondered how Blackmore got that wah effect when...

I just started another thread for this re: bass controls.

I don't see it on the main page so I thought I'd put a link here.

i think i can use the filter for both pick ups from the same tone pot having the chance to on off the filter... and i'd wire the pick ups in series and parallel using the push pull of the...

....Sorry for the " Rant" but I thought I owed a positive post to negate the one I left about the esquire.

I will be ordering more of these, for the other Tele's at least!!!

When all the parts finally get here, I'm going to be putting an Esquire...

Here's a funny thing I noticed about my Q-tone installation. After rewiring my Parker Nitefly V1 guitar a few times, I discovered that I can hear a thump when I switch to the lead pickups (an L-200B and L-280B side by side with reversed polls on one). Incidentally, I have a 3 position switch to select either or both in parallel. It's a nice versatile setup. When height balanced together, it reminds me of an old Santana tone.

I think the problem is that the Q-tone is sitting...

My question is this... I've got a custom Strat and I'm going to install a set of the new Micro-coil Keystone pickups. This Strat has unique wiring and only 1 Tone control for all pickups. It appears that there isn't a particular set of resistor and cap, that would be ideal for both the neck and the bridge pickup, so I'm fine with having...

I'm going to be rewiring my Strat type Parker guitar with a Q filter on a 500k Audio taper pot in parallel with a 500k tone knob. I wonder if it might be better to wire the "Q pot" so that most of the resistance occurs from 5 to 10 as opposed to 5 to 0, as is normally done. Anyone try this?

OK, I gave up on the Esquier and tried this in one of my Tele's and am very pleased!

I used this wiring with the .02 cap and a 10k ohm resistor.

I first installed one with a set of Tonerider "Vintage Plus" pickups and even after bringing two new Tele's into the collection I always find myself playing the...
