Hi Derek,

The tap is used for bass compensastion at lower volumes. It's tapped at the lower end of the volume control with a cap and at low volumes it has a tendency to shunt the high frequencies to ground. On higher volumes it has little or no effect You can go without it if need be or order one. Some folks say it makes a difference some say it does'nt. The circuit will work without it.

Hope this helps
Terry
