Bell boosts frequencies near the cut-o point then slowly decreases until it reaches a gain of zero.
When engaged, the EQ becomes a parametric lter rather than a shelving lter. The Q control
becomes active when bell is engaged. In fact, a smaller Q value results in a wider curve, while a
larger Q value results in a narrower curve where frequencies may be zoomed in on more precisely.
