Default JS Fender Bassman Tone Stack

Hi folks,

I've been trying, without success, to implement the "Fender Bassman Tone Stack" in JS, found in this paper:
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~dtyeh/papers/yeh06_dafx.pdf

I've looked through the code repeatedly and can't find any mistakes. Can someone familiar with filters take a look? Have I used the difference equation properly?

Code:

Looks like I need to use the transposed DFII. Stay tuned.

The only real contribution I can make is that A0 should be 1, since that's the result of dividing all coefficients by A0. Can't get it to work either, though. I feel like there's an error in the math... but it's been quite some time since I've dug into circuit analysis. If I can remember any of it I'll see if I can take a look at it.

AFAICT it's working just fine.

Do note that 25 nF for C1 is un unlikely value, it's typically 0.25 nF (i.e. 250 pF). Also note that in a real amp the bass pot is typically logarithmic, so you might want to shape l = slider1 a bit to make it more usuable.
