Excessive or problematic midrange can be found and dealt with by
setting NOTCH-Q and NOTCH frequency controls around middle of
dial and then, whilst listening to the sound, adjust the NOTCH
frequency control to find where the cut is most effective. Increase or
reduce the NOTCH-Q control until the problematic frequency is
minimised without an excessive width of cut.
Feedback peak or excessive spikes in the sound are best countered by
setting the NOTCH-Q width control fully ACW as narrow as possible
and then, whilst listening carefully, slowly move the NOTCH frequency
around until the unwanted noise is located and removed.
WARNING: All EQ and Parametric EQ in particular should be used
carefully and not unless needed. As well as improving a sound they
can also detract by removing elements in the body of the sound.
An alternative view would be that carefully tuned active EQ boost and
cut can be used creatively beyond just problem solving.
7 MASTER VOLUME CONTROL
Sets the output level of the EDB-2 preamp which is fed to the LINE
OUT and DI Out sockets. Also applies as control to Aux. In. See 3.1.6:
Gain & Master Joint Operation.
8 RANGE CONTROL - 3 Way Slider Switch
This sets a High Pass Filter which rolls off low frequencies according to
the requirements of three main instrument types: Violin/Guitar/Bass.
This reduces low end feedback and muddy resonances from
Instrument body, stage or room but allows through and amplifies just
the fundamental frequencies and harmonics above that. May be partly
countered by turning up Bass or LO MID controls.
RANGE SETTINGS
i. Guitar: Cuts bass frequencies significantly below 70 Hz, which will
still allow true amplification when the lowest string is dropped from
bottom "E" to "D" or "C".
This setting also applies to 12 String, Electric and Nylon Strung
Guitars, Resophonic Guitars and Pedal Steel Guitars plus similar mid
range instruments, e.g. Bouzouki.
