Hey all, hopefully one of you can help. Built color organ as per earlier post.
Has three band pass filters. R/C combos are as follows.
Lows: 4.7K and .22UF
Mids: 2K and .1UF
Highs: 1K and .1UF
During operation yellow lights (highs) are on almost constantly over powering light display.
Red lights (lows) are week unless sensitivity pot is cranked up witch makes yellows even brighter. What combo of filters might mellow the highs out?

I forgot to add that if I turn treble down yellow lights mellow greatly.

Hey, replacing R1 and R3 with a 10K pot solved the problem.
