Artec QTP 5 Band Tone Selector On Board Circuit for Electric Guitar & Bass

Artec Sound is based in South Korea and a very large producer of pickups. They produce many OEM pick-ups for other brands in Europe, the US and Asia. Although their OEM pickups are quite famous under their OEM brand names, the Artecs are still a bit of an underdog (good for us). The years of experience that Artec has can clearly be heard in their pick-ups. All Artec pickups are double-waxed to prevent outside interference. With high quality, excellent sound and versatile options, they offer much for an affordable price.

This circuit was inspired by the historical 5 band tone selector used on Vintage guitars. 
It has an Active and Passive version.
The QTA circuit has the gain control and provides 4 different peak resonances.
The low output impedance provides operation stability and low noise level.
The QTP has the passive tone filter of the traditional RC methods that makes 4 different tones while very little level is reduced.
