CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION
1. COMPRESSION: When the compression control is turned fully anti
clockwise the compression will be fully bi-passed.Turning the control
clockwise will lower the threshold at which the compression begins to
operate. The yellow l.e.d. marked threshold will indicate the onset of
threshold detection and thus the start of compression. A subtle or
occasional flashing of the threshold l.e.d. will indicate subtle compression,
whilst the l.e.d. staying illuminated for longer periods will indicate heavier
compression. Adjust this control to your own taste.
2. PAD SWITCH:
Depressing the pad switch will result in 10dB of
attenuation. This setting should be used if you have a bass with active
pickups or an on board preamp. For passive basses use this switch in the
out position.
3. BASS EQ.
Controls the amount of bottom end present. With the
control set centre it is in-active. Turning the control left of centre cuts the
amount of bass, turn the control right of centre boosts the amount of
bass. The centre frequency of this control is 20hz, and is very effective on
five string bass.
4. LOW MID EQ.
Controls the amount of lower mids. With the control set
centre it is in-active. Turning the control left of centre cuts the amount of
lower mids, turning the control right of centre boosts the amount of lower
mids. The centre frequency for this control is 400 hz, although due to its
wide bandshape, has a considerable response on most of the
fundamental frequencies on bass guitar.
5. HIGH MID EQ.
Controls the amount of upper mids. With the control set
centre it is in-active. Turning the control left of centre cuts the amount of
upper mids, turning the control right of centre boosts the upper mids. The
centre frequency for this control is 1.5khz.
6. HIGH EQ.
Controls the amount of top end. With the control set
centre it is in-active. Turning the control left of centre cuts the amount of
top end, turning the control right of centre boosts the top end. The
condition and age of your strings will affect how this is set.
7. MID VOICING:
This control gives a more radical response than the mid
eq. due to its broader and tailored bandshape. Can be used to quickly
alter your basic sound without adjusting your initial eq. settings.
Centre frequency is around 1.2khz, although the band shape is quite
different to that of a conventional eq. control.
8. HIGH VOICING: Works in a similar fashion to the mid voicing but has a
higher centre frequency of 12 khz to control the amount of transparency
in your sound.
