If EQ clipping occurs, you can either decrease 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! This means that you can enhance a certain
frequency spectrum either by boosting that frequency or by cutting the
adjacent frequencies. This latter method has the advantage of maximizing
potential headroom.
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 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
controls 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:
Beginning with all controls FLAT, turn the first (left) frequency control fully
counterclockwise. Turn the corresponding 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.
Repeat this process with the two remaining control sets. By the way, this
process is a lot easier if you have a friend do the knob twiddling while you
play.
