Varitone RLC Notch Filter

Varitone RLC Notch Filter. The varitone circuit acts as an RLC notch filter added to the guitar’s main circuit.

It uses various capacitors to reduce frequencies at specific points within the overall bandwidth. Rotating the varitone from position 1 to position 5 shifts the filter’s center frequency (f0) from higher to lower frequencies.

To achieve the best results, the circuit’s characteristics must adjust according to the guitar’s main circuit specifications—such as pickups, pots, capacitors, and cable types.

We carefully tailor these settings to optimize the varitone’s performance.
