DESCRIPTION

The PRE LOW FREQUENCY level parameter allows you to cut or boost the

low frequencies from -15dB to +12dB prior to the distortion stage. This EQ

section is a shelving-type. (-15.0 to +12.0)

The PRE LOW FREQUENCY FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a

frequency band with an upper frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or

boosted by the pre-LF LEVEL parameter.

The PRE MID FREQUENCY level parameter allows you to cut or boost the

mid-band frequencies from -15dB to +12dB prior to the distortion stage.

The PRE MID FREQUENCY FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a

mid-band center frequency between 63Hz and 8kHz to be cut or boosted via the

Pre Mid Frequency level parameter.

The BANDWIDTH parameter determines how wide or narrow the bandwidth

of the selected mid-band frequency is (in octaves). A small bandwidth only

boosts or cuts frequencies close to the center frequency, while a large bandwidth

affects the level of frequencies up to two octaves from the center frequency.

(0.1 to 2.5)

The BRIGHT parameter is displayed only when Channel 1 (Clean American) is

active, and allows you to add extra brightness to the clean channel when

switched on.

Application Notes: Pre EQ

Since the PRE EQ affects the way your guitar signal sounds before it enters the preamp stage, its

effect is most useful to influence the way the way high gain distortion tones will respond. The

more gain you use, the more distortion you get, which can decrease your pick attack. Boosting

mid-range frequencies with a medium bandwidth and dipping some bass can bring back the attack

of your pluck.

Another example of using the PRE EQ would be to create a stomp box overdrive effect by cranking

up the mid frequency level and using a very wide bandwidth while reducing the low frequency.

Another cool effect is to crank up the Pre Low Frequency Level with a Frequency setting of around

155Hz — this will produce a fuzz pedal tone if using with high gain.
