I found this schematic a little while ago and thought I might give it a try, as I've been looking to make a single band parametric equaliser, in this case, based on a State-Variable Bandpass Filter. It's supposed to be from a Japanese textbook, but I'm not sure of its origin. It looks remarkably similar to a schematic in an article published by John Roberts in Popular Electronics back in 1979.
PARAMETRIC EQUALISER ORIGINAL - VERO LAYOUT
I've not built this yet, and I've only tested it on LTspice, so I can't vouch for how it sounds yet. Could be a hot mess for all I know. I'll update once I get around to testing this - fingers crossed...
PARAMETRIC EQUALISER ORIGINAL SCHEMATIC
I added an extra opamp stage, as the stock version doesn't have a volume control, and it there would be a volume drop when cutting the signal. I also like the idea of being able to hit whatever is following the EQ hard with a spike in the frequency range.
