MAIN EQ TONE CONTROLS The main EQ tone controls consists of a low shelving control, a sweep midrange control and a high shelving control. The LOW control provides the overall shaping of the low frequencies. The action of this control has been carefully matched to the response of the bass guitar. The MID SWEEP controls perform as a semiparametric EQ over the mid frequency range. The MID GAIN knob provides a boosting or cutting action at a relatively narrow band of frequencies. When the EQ GAIN knob of the MID SWEEP controls is set to "0" the mid sweep will have no effect. To boost or cut a specific frequency rotate the MIDGAIN knob clockwise (right) or counter clockwise (left) respectively. The FREQ control knob is used to select the center frequency where the boosting or cutting will occur. The best way to become familiar with the MID SWEEP control is to set the MID GAIN knob at either full cut or full boost and rotate the FREQ knob over its range of frequencies. Listen to the results and experiment with different levels. The MID SWEEP EQ is a powerful sound shaping tool which usually requires some practice to get the best results. The HIGH control knob is designed to cut or boost the high frequencies of the bass guitar. Boosting with this control is useful for bringing up the very highest harmonics of the bass, which is especially useful when slapping or popping. Note: boosting the high frequencies can result in increased hiss, especially when using tweeters. COMPRESSOR The COMPRESSOR of the Red Line Series amps is designed to limit the peaks so the volume level is more constant. This allows greater power to your speakers preventing the power amps from clipping. The R600/R1000 two knob compressor with THRESHOLD and RATIO controls is more flexible and precise than a single control unit. The user can dial up the exact amount of compression desired and at what level they want the compression to begin. The THRESHOLD control knob sets the point where the compressor kicks in. In the OFF position the compressor has no effect on the sound. Rotating this control in the clockwise direction lowers the level where the compressor turns on. [. . . ] The effects loop can be turned on and off by using the FS22 footswitch. When the footswitch is not connected, the loop will default to the ON position. The status of the effects loop is indicated on the front panel by a yellow LED marked "EFF LOOP" . PREAMP / DIRECT OUT XLR The PREAMP XLR is a balanced output that can be configured in a number of different ways. [. . . ]
