[TenTec] Orion Filter Controls

[Bob Henderson]

I'm sat in that boat with you fellas too!

I don't see anything extra you can do with Hi & Lo cut that you can't 
with BW & PBT.  Except I guess, that if you want Lo cut you can get that 
by twiddling the Lo cut control alone, whereas you would have to reduce 
BW then shift PBT to achieve the same effect.  Hardly a justification in 
my mind.  Though if we are to have a Low cut control, it would be dandy 
if the graphical representation reflected its effect.
