BALDWIN-BURNS: Buzzaround Timbre Mod, Schematic

A simple mod to provide more flexibility for the timbre range of the Buzzaround.

One side of the timbre control is 15khz high-pass filter, which is very high.  The useful range of the timbre sweep is rather limited as a result of this, and there's also a bit of volume loss that comes with this.

Some D*A*M Buzzotrons have a 33k resistor instead of 10k, which sets the filter at 4.5khz, providing a more usable range, but it's tonally different to the original.   

Adding a trimmer or a pot, allows flexibility setting the HPF without much effort.
