TUNABLE BASS CONTROL

 

In this channel the bass frequencies are shaped utilizing a pair of parametric type controls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two rotary controls, Bass and Bass Frequency enable you to

This overlap occurs at 5:30

(fully cranked) on the Bass Frequency control when the Bass Shift switch is in the Low position. When the Shift is switched to High you will find this 100Hz. overlap at 7:30 (all the way down) on the Bass Frequency control. This difference in Bass controls in the FET channel is crucial to its tighter attack and cut-off point characteristics, which is an integral part of the FET channel's personality...making it strikingly different in nature to the Vacuum Tube channel.
