ALIGN SERIES EQUALIZER USER’S GUIDE
INTRODUCTION Based on the circuit of the esteemed Para Acoustic DI, the Align Equalizer combines our signature, high-graded FET gain stage with powerful tone-shaping EQ that injects richness and balance to any acoustic pickup signal. A 6-band EQ shapes the frequencies we found most useful for improving acoustic guitar pickups with the flexibility needed to cover other acoustic instruments effectively.
I A H B C G D E F TOP FEATURES A. NOTCH The notch filter is designed to help control feedback. If your guitar begins to feedback, slowly turn the notch control clockwise. The offending frequency will stop instantly when the notch is in the proper position. B. INSTRUMENT INPUT The ¼” input is an unbalanced (mono), all-discrete input. Plugging into the input will activate the Equalizer, therefore, unplugging will turn the system off.
C. 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.
systems. The variable “hpf” switches between 40Hz, 80Hz, and 120Hz. H. ¼” OUTPUT The ¼” output is an unbalanced, line level output. You can plug into any amp or device that has a ¼” input. We recommend running into any other LR Baggs Align pedals, DI’s, or the Synapse Personal PA System. I. VOLUME The master volume will help you find a balance between your engaged and bypassed signal. It is only active when the engage light is on.
