Hi!

I've built a mk2 TB and it sounds great! I think a mid scoop option would be a great addition to this circuit. Any ideas where to start?

Boost bass AND treble, leaving the mids behind as a scoop?    Would have to add some circuitry tho, and it would probably change the original 'mojo' of the TB. 

Look at the Big Muff tone control for one idea...a tilt control, will allow bass boost, mid scoop, or treble boost...still needs a recovery stage, tho.

Yes, the Big Muff applies a nice mid scoop on it's own.
Check out this tone stack that anotherjim helped me with for my amp in this thread:

Here's just the tone part, it has a DPDT toggle switch added to the tone stack to let the mids pass through when I don't want the scoop:
"I like distortion and I like delay. There... I said it!"
