6-BAND EQ
The Equalizer’s 6-band EQ controls shape the frequencies
we found most useful for improving acoustic guitar
pickups with the flexibility needed to cover other acoustic
instruments effectively. Use the controls to raise or lower
each individual frequency to meet the needs of your
instrument or to balance your tone in the room.
D.
GAIN
The gain switch was designed to allow for quick, easy
adjustments of your input level. This switch ranges
between -6dB (half of normal level), 0dB (no change to
normal level), and +6dB (twice normal level). This can be
used to accommodate for a passive pickup (+6dB), or a
pickup that is too hot (-6dB).
E.
PHASE
Press this button to invert the phase. Usually, one phase
will provide better sound and feedback resistance. With
all acoustic instruments it is important to try both
phases each time you set up, because phase is relative
to your position on the stage.
F.
ENGAGE
Press the footswitch to engage the tone shaping tools.
When the light is on, all of the controls on the Equalizer
are engaged. When the light is off, the whole pedal is
true bypassed.
G.
HIGH-PASS FILTER
The high-pass filter may be used to attenuate extraneous
low frequencies, allowing for an appropriate mix with
different instruments, playing situations, and sound
