Electric Guitar Pre-Shape
Engaging this button optimizes the on board equalization for guitar.
Signal Presence/Clip LED
is LED helps in setting the gain control. Gain (3) should be adjusted so that the green LED
ashes in time with the source, and turns red only on the loudest peaks. If adding EQ results in
clipping (red LED), compensate here by reducing gain (3). e red clipping LED lights when
roughly 5dB of headroom remains.
Gain
e Input Gain control is used to establish proper gain structure in the channel. e input gain
can be adjusted over a wide range to compensate for so voices or very loud drums. To maxi-
mize the signal-to-noise ratio, the gain should be set to the proper level, with the Level Knob
(10) set to 0. If the clip LED comes on and remains lit, try reducing the gain.
High EQ
is High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (+/- 15 dB at 12
kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of
the source.
Mid EQ
Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the Mid-Morph works at two. When
turned counterclockwise, it cuts at 250 Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When
turned clockwise, it boosts at 4 kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either way, improved vocal or
instrument denition can be achieved.
Low EQ
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/- 15 dB at 80 Hz). Low EQ adds
depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too
much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end. Caution: Excessive low frequency boost
causes greater power consumption and increases the possibility of speaker damage.
EQ Bypass
Engaging this button bypasses the equalization of the channel.
EFX Send
is control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the eects mix. e signal is sent
to the internal eects processor (PV6 BT) or the EFX send jack (PV6). Turning the knob to the
le (min) will turn o eects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will
increase the amount of the selected eect.
Pan
is knob controls the placement of the signal in the stereo eld. When rotated completely coun-
terclockwise‚ the signal is present only on the le channel; when rotated completely clockwise‚
only in the right channel. is control functions as a balance control to adjust the relative level of
the le and right signals on stereo channels.
Channel Level
is controls the output level of the channel into the main mix. e gain is 0 dB when set to the
detent at mid-rotation (12:00). 10 dB of boost is available at the max gain setting. Normal opera-
tion is to start with this knob at the detent, and set the input gain and EQ with the source playing
such that normal levels are seen at the bicolor LED and the main meter array. As additional
sources are added, it is normal to turn this knob down slightly.
