Method “B” should offer a slightly lower noise level while Method “A”
may offer a slightly clearer tone.
3.2 INTERACTIVE 5 BAND EQ SECTION
The 3 Way Switch applies the EQ section to Ch.1, Ch.2 or both
Channels.
5 rotary controls with active boost & cut functions including shelving
responses at the low and high end. A flat response is achieved when
the knobs are set in their central detent positions which should be
used as a starting point.
There is a degree of interaction, especially between the 5 bands on
adjacent controls.
For example, if you wish to thin out mid range tones as commonly
required, try varying the relative amounts of cut between Lower Mid,
Upper Mid and possibly Presence controls and listening for a
preferred blend.
Typical Instrument EQ requirements:
Larger instruments such as Steel Strung Acoustic Guitars often
require a mid range cut especially where full chords are played.
Headway HE4 & Snake3 Fixed EQ pickups will require less EQ
applied than most other pickups because they incorporate an active
tone section which is set for the instrument type specified.
Nylon Strung Guitars played finger style or Resophonic Guitars
played with a slide usually require a flat mid range EQ or, with a
slight boost unless they are played with full chords in which case a
slight mid cut may be preferable.
Violins and Mandolins often require treble cuts, possibly presence
cuts but not usually mid cuts. Bass control may be cut to reduce body
handling noise and feedback.
