offer maximum flexibility in shaping the sound of two sources via
two channels for input from both pickups and/or microphones
6.3.1 TYPICAL EQ REQUIREMENTS
Steel strung acoustic guitar, bouzouki, octave mandola and acoustic
bass often require a mid range cut, especially when playing full
chords. Headway HE5 & Snake3 Fixed EQ pickups require less EQ
because they incorporate an active tone section, which is set for the
instrument type specified on the pickup model (e.g Headway
HE5/G.FEQ for High End Acoustic Guitar - Fixed EQ)
Nylon strung guitars played finger style, maccaferri or resophonic
guitars usually require flat mid range EQ or maybe with a slight
boost unless they are played with mainly full chords, in which case
some mid cut may be preferable
Violins and mandolins often require treble cuts and low end cut
below 200Hz, as offered on EDB-2 VAP range switch. Violins also
often benefit from upper mid cuts. Many electret and condenser
microphones carry an in built presence or treble boost, which you
may wish to cut for instruments via EQ controls.
Dynamic microphones usually benefit from a treble boost and often
some mid cut
