Help me identify this cap/resistor combos fuction

At the bottom:
With the 330n/1k combo to +vb, is this forming a shelved low pass filter?
If I reverse the combo to 1K/330n to +vb how will this affect the filter, or will it?

Or, is the 1k5/330n/1k tapering and changing the pot's resistance as filtering a bit?
My main concern is whether the cap/resistance order of the 330n/1k matters if it's reversed.

thanks

Doesn't matter if it is reversed as that middle node is not tapped.

Thanks Chris

Is the combo providing a LPF for depending on the setting of the pot?
The pot comes after the combo so maybe not.
Can anyone explain what is going on in that pot/cap/resistor cluster?

thanks

The curse is that with a 100k pot, it will do practically nothing until that last little bit of the turn.  the RC is a shelving low boost (or more correctly highs attenuation).  But odd that it doesn't have anything tapping out at the top of that stuff, only above the high pass, so together a sort of band pass?

John Lyons

So at full CCW is the (possible) bandpass correct?

thanks for your time checkig this out.

Yes, if you think about it, when the pot is ~3k and above it is out of the equation, so for 97% of the rotation, nada.  Do you have a bigger picture?
