Getting people into an enclosed performance space will soak up a lot
of sound reflections and discourage feedback as if MABS or Mobile
Acoustic Baffles!
Check that a power amp output is not plugged into EDB-2 inputs.
12.2 UNEVEN STRING AMPLIFICATION, HARSH or BOOMY
SOUND
Under saddle pickups may not be seated correctly and evenly in
instrument. Contact a luthier to have the installation put right.
If a contact pickup is in use change its placement in order to get the
best sound by locating the sweet spot and avoiding honks, resonances
and hollowness.
If a Mic is in use, change its position to obtain the best balance and
overall sound. Guitars often Mic up best with Mic pointed towards tre-
ble strings area of upper bout, a little away from sound hole.
If a magnetic pickup is fitted in the sound hole, where possible, adjust-
ment of the magnetic pole pieces and overall pickup heights may
enable the string balance to be adjusted.
12.3 POOR SOUND: WEAK, DULL or DISTORTED
Make sure that any batteries such as 9V PP3 on pickup systems and
pedals are in good condition & Low Battery Indicator LED is not BLUE.
Turn down gain control or excessively boosted EQ controls.
AVOID Passive DI boxes (transformers) which can change or
degrade the sound of a pickup due to the way they load it and can add
rhythmical load and discharge noises.
Check that a power amp output or headphone output is not plugged
into EDB-2 inputs (or Outputs).
Check leads for cross leakage, excessive capacitance or resistance
with an Electrical Meter or Cable Tester.
Try Phase Reverse switch.
