The request

“Draw a 9 V 2N5457 piezo preamp with gate bias, source resistor and bypass capacitor, drain resistor, input and output coupling capacitors, a 100 kΩ volume potentiometer, and a 10 kΩ tone potentiometer.”

Then tryChange the input capacitor to 22 nF.Change the volume potentiometer to 250 kΩ.
What is in this drawing
