frequencies above are stereo. At the next position
frequencies below 200Hz are made Mono. At the last
position all frequencies are Mono.
2.7 Balance
This control allows a fine control over the left / right balance
of the Fat Bustard. This can be very useful in correcting
any discrepancies of outboard equipment that may be
slightly misaligned with respect to the level of the left and
right hand signals.
2.8 Output Level
This control is a rotary switch that governs the final output
level of the Fat Bustard. The switch is a high quality Elma
switch and gives a smooth precise result.
2.9 Monitor
This controls the level to the monitor output, which is 8 dB
lower than the main output. It is switchable (INT/EXT)
between the Fat Bustard output and an external input, and
it is intended that this can be used to compare the original
signal to the playback from the equipment used for the final
master. This is especially useful if a compressor (eg. a
Phoenix) is inserted after The Fat Bustard.
There is a pre-set adjuster near the External Input jacks
which determines the level of signal from the External
Inputs. This should ideally be set up with a tone so that INT
= EXT in level with any inserted equipment in bypass. It
requires an “electrical” type flat-bladed screwdriver.
