Hi. My friend wanted to build a simple circuit for his electric guitar which will increase, once a switch is set on, the volume of only the lowest sounds the guitar makes (A bass Amplifier)
I have thought up of a simple circuit which is ought to do the job:
This circuit should accept input and output from the AC in/out (There are two plugs involved: one from the circuit to the amplifier, and one from the guitar to the circuit). It should, in theory, pass the same amount of signal always through the right most wire all the time. When the switch is on, the signal should pass through the inductor, which will allow only to the lower bands to pass, after which they will be amplified in the transistor.
Once the lower bands will be amplified, they will rejoin the rest of the signal and get to the output, where they will run through a speaker.
So, my main question is: will such a thing even work? I don't have much experience in these things, but I do feel I am close.
My second question, is how much gain should the preamp have, provided it is supposed to approximately double the lower band.
Thanks in advance.
