GENERAL OPERATION:
The EXG is an active EQ circuit for guitar that simultaneously increases both low and high frequencies while decreasing mid-range.
The graph below illustrates the effect of the EXG. The thick black line displays the effect with the control all the way up (clockwise).
The flat black line illustrates the effect with the control all the way down (counter-clockwise) in the bypass mode. The EXG is continuously
variable from flat to maximum effect. The EXG is wired in series with the signal path, so there is an input and output.
The EXG has buffered inputs and can be used with passive pickups.
