Hi

Does anyone know how to put a Q control into a crybaby GCB-95?

Thanks

Vary the resistor in parallel with the inductor.

For some ballpark figures on what values to use, use a 500ohm resistor in series with a 100kiloohm log potentiometer, it'll go all the way for very very wide to very sharp and resonant

Cheers guys. I put in a 100k pot in series with the 33k resistor that's In parallel with the inductor. Works a treat. Really helps bring out the lower frequencies when playing a tele through it.

Thanks
