Fire and Fury Channel EQ
24. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting,
counter clockwise, to warm and thumping, clockwise.
25. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The
middle frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your
tone has.
With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully counter clockwise) the
sound will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing.
As the Middle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased,
which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
26. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the
sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in
character.
As the Treble control is increased (clockwise) the sound will become brighter. At the
maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
27. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The patented ISF control works in conjunction with
the Bass, Middle and Treble controls. It allows you
to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer.
Fully counter clockwise has a more American
characteristic with a tight bottom-end and more
aggressive middle, and fully clockwise has a British
characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less
aggressive.
Unlike conventional ‘contour’ controls and parametric equalisation systems, the
Bass, Middle and Treble controls remain interactive with each other just like in a
traditional guitar amplifier tone stack. This leads to a very familiar, musical response.
Master
28. Resonance
The Resonance control sets the overall bass response of the Blackfire 200. At
lower settings the cleans will be tight and funky and overdrives will be focussed in
their bass response. At increased settings the clean sounds will be become full and
warm, whilst the crunch and overdrive tones will be more bass heavy and resonant.
29. Presence
The Presence control sets the overall treble response of the Blackfire
200. Percussive high-end can be accentuated on clean sounds and the
amount of aggressive treble controlled with crunch and overdrive settings.
