Question About Boss GE7 Schematic
eev_carl:
Hi,
IC1, IC2, and IC3 in this schematic look like Sallen-Key High Pass Filters. I had expected to see band pass filters since the schematic is for a 7-band eq. Is this the correct analysis (boosting / cutting HPFs rather than band pass filters) or is there an LPF part that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Carl

Near the bottom of the page, they're listed as TL022CP dual op-amps, and the schematic looks to me like the standard arrangement with 2 channels per IC, for channels 1&2, 3&4, and 5&6.

I'm asking about the Sallen-Key high pass filters (which includes the op amps). I thought each potentiometer would cut or boost a band (band pass filter) but I don't see an LPF paired with each frequency midpoint.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking. You are right that S-K can be configured as a band pass filter, but your schematic looks more like a multiple feedback BPF, although it has been a decade or two since I've done this kind of filtering, so I'm sure someone will set me straight if I'm wrong here.
Andy Watson:
IC1-3 are gyrators - essentially negative/reverse impedance converter that make capacitors C3, C6, C8, C13, C14 and C15 look like inductors - in the sense that their impedance appears to increase with increase in frequency.
