SETT

I

NG

YOUR

EQ

The

frequencies

that

you'll

need

to

boost

or

cut

are

dependent

upon

your

instrument,

play

ing

style

,

speaker

cabinets,

and

venue.

Extreme

settings

of

boost

or

cut

are

unlikely

to

be

necessary

or

helpful.

We

are

frequently

asked

to

provide

suggested

settings

for

various

styles

of

play. We

have

discovered

though

,

that

most

of

our

endorsers

tend

to

set

their

EQ

generally

flat

, usi

ng

vary

in

g

amounts

of

the

Enhance

Control

to

achieve

their

sound.

In fact, a

number

of

our

recording

artists

tell

us

that

their

standard

recording

set

-

up

is

to

have

the

Enhance

set

at

approximately

9

or

10

O'clock

and

the tone

controls

set

flat. We

encourage

you

to

experiment

with

different

settings

to

obtain

the

sound

you

desire.

Enhance -

Once

you've

set

your

gain

,

you

can

move

on

to

setting

your

EQ,

beginning

with

the

Enhance

contro

l,

or

Magic

Knob

,

as

some

call

it.

The

Enhance

circu

i

try

adds

very

low

bass

,

upper

mids

and

highs

while

scooping

out

a

bit

oflow

middle.

The

more

Enhance

effect

you

dial

in,

the

greater

the

boost

(and

cut).

As

with

all

of

our

EQ

contro

l

s,

a

little

goes

a l

ong

way

.

Slowly

bring

the

Enhance

control

up

while

playing.

If

you

turn

it

up

close

to

12

:00

on

the

dial

and

still

don't

have

your

sound

,

stop

there.

Return

the

Enhance

to

OFF

or

leave

it

at

no

more

than

12:00

and

work

with

the

EQ

section.

Using the EQ

Co

ntrols -

Before

you

begin

to

twiddle

knobs

,

let's

talk

about

a

few

things.

Excessive

boosting

of

one

or

more

EQ

frequencies

may

cause

an

overload

in

the

EQ

section.

If

this

happens

,

the

EQ

Clip

li

ght

will

engage.

This

is a Very

Bad

Thing

and

needs

to be

corrected

immediately.

If

EQ

clipping

occ

urs,

you

can

either

dec

r

ease

the

boost

or

decrease

the

Input

Gain

.

Remember,

too

,

that

our

EQ

controls

are

active

,

and

are

meant

to

turn

both

ways

-

not

just

UP!

Thi

s

means

that

you

can

enhance

a

certain

frequency

spectrum

either

by

boosting

that

frequency

or

by

cutting

th

e

adjacent

frequencies.

This

latter

method

has

the

advantage

of

maximizing

potentia

l

headroom.

You may be

at

sound

once

away

NOTE:

Many

players

rely

on

the

Enhance

(and

perhaps

a

Midrange

Massage)

to

get

their

sound.

This

method

leaves

to

, and Treble -

OK

,

now

it's

time

to

set

the

EQ,

beginning

with

the

Bass

an

d

Treble

controls.

These

controls

cover

a fairly

broad

frequency

spectrum

and

a little

goes

a Jong

way.

Adjust

these

controls

up

or

down

as

needed.

We

suggest

playing

a few

notes

in

various

areas

of

the

neck

so

you

can

hear

what

your

adjustments

have

done

to

We

suggest

you

spend

some

time

experimenting

wi

th

these

controls

to

learn

more

about

how

they

can

affect

your

sou

nd. H

ere's

an

easy

way

to do that:

Begin

with

the

frequency

contro

l

fully

counterclockwise.

Turn

the

Level

control

to

approx

imat

ely

9:00.

Now,

whi

le

playing,

rotate

the

frequency

control

to

the

right

a

little

at

a

time.

You

sho

uld be

able

to

easily

hear

the

frequencies

this

first

set

of

controls

affects.

Now,

cut

the

Level

control

to

approximately

3:00

and

do

the

sa

me

thing

.

Here

are

a

couple

of

tips

to

help

you

d

ial

in

your

desired

tone:

For

a

great

fretl

ess

tone,

dial

in a little

ext

ra

at

approximately

550Hz

.

For

extra

grind

for

Rock

and

other

aggress

i

ve

music

,

add

a

little

at

l-

l

.2KHz

or

2-

2.2

KHz

.

Remember

,

though

,

that

a

little

goes

a l

ong

way.

Don't

over

boost.

NOTE:

Rememb

er

that

the

tone

you

get

when

playing

alone

may

not

cut

through

as

well

as

you'd

lik

e

when

playing

with

others.

You

may

need

to

adjust

the

tone

controls

to

achieve

the

same

(apparent)

tone

,

especially

in

the

mids

and

high

end.

E

dg

e

Co

ntrol -

If

you

want

to

add

a

touch

of

old-school

style

grit

to

your

sou

nd,

th

is is the

contro

l

for

you.

This

is

not

a

full-shred

type

of

distortion

, however.

Rather

,

it

is

mean

to

add

a

little,

to

your

This

interacts

with

the

At
