Bass Amp Designer provides multiple EQ types to sculpt your instrument tones.
It provides a basic EQ that mirrors the tonal qualities of the integrated EQ of the amplier model
you choose, if applicable. All amplier model EQs have identical controls: Bass, Mids, and Treble.
See Bass Amp Designer EQ.
Bass Amp Designer also oers an additional Graphic or Parametric EQ that you turn on with the
EQ switch above the Master knob at the far right. See Bass Amp Designer Graphic EQ and Bass
Amp Designer Parametric EQ.
Bass Amp Designer also integrates a dedicated, custom-built compression circuit that is
optimized for electric bass. See Bass Amp Designer compressor.
