Bass Amp Designer Parametric EQ
Bass Amp Designer oers an additional Graphic or Parametric EQ that you turn on with the EQ

HiMid: Controls frequencies in the high and high-mid range.
•
LoMid: Controls frequencies in the low and low-mid range.
Parametric EQ parameters
•
Type switch: Click the up position to choose the Graphic EQ. Click the down position to choose
the Parametric EQ.
Graphic and Parametric EQ parameter settings are retained when switching between EQ types
and when the additional EQ is turned o. This enables you to quickly make AB comparisons.
•
Pre/Post switch: Click to determine if the additional EQ is inserted before or after—pre or
post—the compressor section within the signal ow.
Note: This parameter is relevant only if the Compressor is turned on.
•
Gain knobs: Rotate to adjust the amount of cut or boost applied to the frequency range set
with the kHz knob.
•
kHz knobs: Rotate to set the frequency range that you want to cut or boost with the Gain knob.
•
Q knobs: Rotate to set the width of the band surrounding the frequency set with the
kHz knobs.
The lower the Q knob value, the wider the band, which means that more frequencies will
be aected. The higher the Q knob value, the narrower the band, which means that only the
frequencies nearest to the frequency set with the kHz knob will be aected.
