Setting the Midrange
– Adjusting the Midrange control will bring you
either more up front in the mix or more in the background. As mentioned
earlier, you can choose between center frequencies for the Midrange control
– either 550Hz or 2.2KHz. The low position (550Hz) is good for general
playing and recording. It’s also good for dialing in a good Fretless Bass tone.
The high position (2.2KHz) is good for getting a more aggressive Rock tone.
We suggest you start in the low position. While playing, boost and cut the
Midrange so you can hear how it affects your tone. Remember to play in all
ranges, not just on the first few frets. Once you have an idea of the tonal
possibilities, switch to the High position and do the same thing. This will
give you a better idea of what this control can do for your sound and you can
then dial in what you want more effectively.
Engage the Dynamic Bass Boost
– As mentioned earlier, this effect is
based on the Fletcher-Munson curve and ensures that the bass is full even at
the lowest volume settings. As volume increases, the effect is reduced,
resulting in very consistent tone regardless of volume level. We suggest you
spend some time experimenting with this Really Neat Feature. We believe
that you’ll think it’s Really Neat, too.
Final Settings
– If you haven’t adjusted the Midrange yet, now is the time to
do it. Boosting or cutting the mids may change how much warmth and grit
you dial in, so be prepared to make adjustments there as well.
A FEW TECHNICAL THINGS TO REMEMBER
Clipping = Bad
– Keep an eye on the EQ Clip light. If it blinks, either
reduce Input Gain or cut back on one or more EQ ranges. As we said earlier,
Clipping in preamp section is a Very Bad Thing and is to be avoided at all
times. If you find yourself running out of amplifier headroom, cut a little in
the lower frequencies, which require the most power from your amp. You’ll
know this is happening if you see the Limit light flashing. As long as the
light is just blinking, you’re fine. But, if it’s on more than it’s off, you might
want to back off a bit.
