It is simple to audition the effect of a single band of equalization on the z-Q6. The band select
button
can also be used to bypass the active band of EQ. Simply press the band select button
under the desired EQ band. As shown in Figure 5, the display will then show the word "byp" in
that band's gain display and the band will be bypassed. Press the band select button again to
return from bypass.
Important note: None of the z-Q6's controls will work until you return the band from
bypass.
