TC Electronic Blacksmith - Manual (Page 10)

Example:
Press SHIFT and turn the
LO-MID knob to change
the center frequency of that
control.
Sometimes “sweepable” tone controls can be a bit
tedious to work with. Here is an easy step-by-step
guide to adjusting BLACKSMITH’s Low-mid band to
your bass and setup:
• Boost the LO-MID band – the more you boost, the easier it
is to find the right frequency.
• Hit the SHIFT button to get access to the center frequency
of the EQ bands.
• Now, while playing your bass, slowly turn the LO-MID knob
to sweep the low-mid frequency across the frequency range.
• When you find the frequency that you prefer to control,
simply hit the SHIFT button again to switch back to gain
control and set the right amount of low-mid gain.
While BLACKSMITH is in Shift mode, the SHIFT button
will be blinking to remind you that you are in Shift mode.
When you haven’t been using the BLACKSMITH’s front
panel controls for about twenty seconds, the LED will
flash rapidly, and BLACKSMITH will automatically return
to normal mode.
