BSIAB II and Tonemender: recovery stage?

[Bucksears]

I've always read that circuits need a recovery stage to restore the signal if it is loaded down with a passive EQ. Since the Tonemender circuit is active, if I were to use it in place of the BMP tone stack, would I also need to change the circuit elsewhere? i.e. would the circuit otherwise be too loud if I use an active eq?

  BMP comes with a tone control, and a recovery stage.
  Different tone stacks have different amounts of passive losses.
  Download 'Duncan's Tonestack Calculator', to take your various tone controls for a ride and observe and compare the amounts of passive losses associated with the varied curves.

Simply use the Level control to adjust the output volume.  Unity volume occurs around 10:00, depending on the tone pot settings.

Also, the Tonemender's tonestack is not active per se, but rather placed between an op-amp buffer stage and an op-amp gain stage.
