Empress Effects ParaEq - Manual (Page 3)

Sample Applications
General Sweetening: Say you really like the tone of your guitar but
find it could be a little brighter with a more high end detail. With
the ParaEq, adding a small boost in the range of 3 kHz to 5 kHz with
a wide Q will add a bit more detail, while still retaining the sound of
your instrument. In a similar manner, adding a wide Q boost to the
low frequency range will warm up your instrument’s sound.
Tone Correction: Say you’ve set your amp up in a venue and find
that the acoustics of the stage are making it sound too boomy. By
cutting some of the frequencies in the low mids (200Hz – 600Hz)
with a medium width Q, you can minimize the negative effects of
the room acoustics on your sound.
If you find your guitar isn’t cutting through the rest of the band, you
can boost the upper mid frequency range ( 1kHz –4 kHz) instead of
simply turning up the volume of your amplifier, which could lead to
you just drowning out the rest of the band.
