Online calculator for R-C parallel circuits?

I use this site a lot for calculating tone circuits: http://sim.okawa-denshi.jp/en/CRlowkeisan.htm

I'm looking for something that will aid my math-challenged brain in calculating this:

   |---R----|
---|           |------
   |---C----|

Especially in a feedback loop of an op amp.

R.G.

The frequency for one resistor, one capacitor does not matter whether it's series or parallel. It's always

F = 1/(2*pi*R*C)

The arrangement of the R and C in series or parallel change it from a high pass to a low pass.

Note that if there are other resistances driving or loading the single R and single C, then they can have an effect on the frequency. They are really part of the "R", they just don't show up in the schematic.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.
