1.9 EQ Lives in the Quad X-Amp!
Are you tired of dead tone controls? You know, the kind where you can turn the mid up to 10
and then down to 0 and you can barely hear any difference. That’s passive EQ for you; it’s very
simple, very cheap, and very dead. Who needs it! Carvin’s classic X-Amp first showed how a
powerful active EQ can shape guitar tone. Now the Quad X-Amp gives you not one, but three
sets of active EQ tone controls. Channels 1 and 4 each have their own dedicated three band EQ
while channels 2 and 3 share a two band EQ and the cloaking filter. If that’s not enough, the five
band graphic EQ can be assigned to any of the channels and the amp will remember which
channels use the graphic and which don’t. If that’s still not enough, you can patch an outboard
EQ into any of the channel’s effects loops. Now that’s EQ!
1.10 There’s Even More!
When players asked us to make the best possible guitar amp they forgot to say stop . . . so we
kept on going with all the finishing touches. We added an input level display to let you know if
you need to use the input boost control. Strat players have always needed a boost switch for full
overdrive, and now they’ve got it. Since most guitars either need a bright boost or they don’t,
the Quad X-Amp has a single master bright switch.
Recording direct to the mixer has never been too popular with guitar players because they would
loose the characteristic sound of their speaker cabinets. Not any more! Punch the Cabinet
Voicing™ switch, patch straight into the mixer, and you have the sound of the Quad X-Amp
playing through a 4x12 stack. Our Cabinet Voicing circuitry precisely models the low frequency
response of a vintage stack as driven by a tube power amp. But we don’t stop there, we also dial
up the high end response of the stack for total realism.
