If possible, step well forward of your rig to get a better idea of how you will
sound in the room. You may be surprised at how different you sound once
you step away from the speakers.
NOTE: Many players rely on the Enhance Control (and perhaps a little
Midrange Massage) to get their sound. This method leaves the Bass and
Treble controls available to dial in to a particularly difficult room. Just
something to keep in mind, ok?
Setting Bass Mid, and Treble – OK, now it’s time to set the EQ, beginning
with the Bass and Treble controls. These controls cover a fairly broad
frequency spectrum and a little goes a long 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 across the fretboard.
Using the Semi-Parametric EQ Controls – Adjusting the Semi-Parametric
control set allows you to focus in on particular frequencies to achieve your
desired tone. We suggest you spend some time experimenting with these
controls to learn more about how they can affect your sound. Here’s an easy
way to do that:
Begin with the frequency control fully counterclockwise. Turn the Level
control to approximately 9:00. Now, while playing, rotate the frequency
control to the right a little at a time. You should 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 same thing.
Here are a couple of tips to help you dial in your desired tone:
For a great fretless tone, dial in a little extra at approximately 550Hz.
For extra grind for Rock and other aggressive music, add a little at 1-1.2KHz
or 2-2.2KHz – or both! Remember, though, that a little goes a long way.
Don’t over boost.
NOTE: Remember that the tone you get when playing alone may not cut
through as well as you’d like 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.
