EQ Mode
Platinum Pro EQ’s EQ Mode switch offers tone shaping exibility not
commonly found in an instrument preamp.
• When this control is set to guitar, the tone controls are voiced to be
most useful for recording or amplifying acoustic guitar and most other
instruments.
• When this control is set to bass, the tone controls are adjusted to be
most suitable for recording or amplifying acoustic and electric bass.
Tone Controls
Low Cut: a variable high-pass lter, labeled low cut, can be used to
remove sub-sonic frequencies present in some passive pickups.
Bass: A boost here will add depth and weight to the sound of an instru-
ment with light bass response. Cut the bass a few dB to tighten up the
big boomy tone of a dreadnought or jumbo guitar.
Middle: Two controls (level and frequency) make up this EQ circuit.
The frequency control lets you tune in on a speci c mid-frequency
range which you can boost or cut with the middle control.
Treble: A boost here will help to “cut through the mix.” Conversely, cut-
ting the Treble will mellow and subdue your ampli ed tone.
Brilliance: This control can add shimmer and sparkle to your sound or
reduce excessive nger noise and fret buzz.
