Isn't this actually the Gibson '50's or '57 tone circuit....been around for over 60 years, right? This circuit has been called this since long before the TDPRI came into existence. How old is Fezz? Did he work with Seth Lover and Ted McCarty for Gibson back in the '50's??? IF so and if he designed this circuit, then I withdraw my observations and comments.
I respect the knowledge that Fezz has and shares, but imho this circuit should be called by its rightful name......the Gibson '57 tone circuit.....adn the acknowledgement of its origns continues instead of beign misappropriated by whatever cause. Just because this is a 'Tele/FEnder-dominant' forum
doesn't mean that proper acknowledgement of some other manufacturers'
accomplishments and contributions to the industry should be avoided.

End of rant....
