GENERAL CONTROLS
Master
Volume
Graphic
Equalizer
Controls the level from both preamplifier sections and allows the input amplifier to
be
completely over-driven to produce high-level distortion. This dual-unit control
is
located before and after the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER circuit (refer
to
the functional
block diagram), allowing the musician
to
maintain the same amount of preamplifier
overload distortion {if desired) at any loudness level. This control may
be
adjusted
for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when used
in
studio applications. To obtain the
optimum signal-to-noise ratio, adjust the preamplifier VOLUME and MASTER
VOLUME controls simultaneously.
The Kustom
IV
Lead
guitar amplifier features a 7-band {frequency) graphic equalizer
providing ±12dB
of
boost or cut at each frequency and allowing the musician
increased flexibility
of
tone control
in
a variety of playing environments. Before
experimenting with equalizer setting combinations, begin with
all
slides
in
the
"flat"
or center position.
