Detailed Description

template<FloatType T>
class dspark::wdf::ToneStackFMV< T >

Exact Fender '59 Bassman treble/bass/middle tone stack.

Topology and component values after Yeh & Smith, "Discretization of the '59 Fender Bassman Tone Stack" (DAFx-06), figure 1: C1 = 250 pF into the treble pot (R1 = 250 k ohm, output at the wiper), R4 = 56 k ohm into the slope node, C2 = C3 = 20 nF from the slope node to the bass rheostat (l*R2, R2 = 1 M ohm) and to the middle pot wiper (R3 = 25 k ohm) respectively. The source is modelled with a series output resistance (cathode-follower buffer) and the wiper drives a grid-load resistance.

Solved exactly as one 12-port R-type. The suite verifies it sample-exact against the bilinear transform of the paper's symbolic transfer function. Controls are not orthogonal – that interaction is the circuit's character.

prepare()

template<FloatType T>

void dspark::wdf::ToneStackFMV< T >::prepare ( double  sampleRate )

inlinenoexcept

Prepares the network (allocates nothing).

processSample()

template<FloatType T>

T dspark::wdf::ToneStackFMV< T >::processSample ( T  input )

inlinenoexcept

Processes one sample (input volts -> wiper volts).

reset()

template<FloatType T>

void dspark::wdf::ToneStackFMV< T >::reset ( )

inlinenoexcept

Clears capacitor states. RT-safe.

Definition at line 845 of file WDF.h.

setControls()

template<FloatType T>

void dspark::wdf::ToneStackFMV< T >::setControls ( T  treble, T  bass, T  middle  )

inlinenoexcept

Sets the three controls, [0, 1] each.

Treble and middle pots are linear, the bass pot is a log-taper rheostat (squared approximation), matching the original circuit.
