The circuit is a acoustic guitar active pickup circuit. It was in a
small metal case mounted to the side of the hollow guitar powered by
a
small 9V battery. the 4 volume controls are tone controls each
taking
care of a range of frequencies.

With four tone control knobs it's something between a graphics equalizer
and a tone control. Those are the two terms to search on for circuits.
