Freq Out™ Setup
The Freq Out is probably the most unique feature added to the Ecoustic amplifiers. The Freq Out automatically eliminates feedback by using a set of precise‚ digital filters and sophisticated algorithms. By taking just a minute to properly set up the Freq Out‚ you can optimize this great feature of your new Ecoustic amplifier.
1.Once you are set up and ready to play‚ set the level on the instrument channel and ensure the other channels are turned down. Then‚ turn the Ecoustic’s gain and volume up to the desired level. Turn on the Freq Out by depressing the switch (11 or 24) once.
2.Play various notes/chords on your instrument. Let the notes/chords ring out long enough to feed back. You should notice the Freq Out kick in with a corresponding reduction in feedback.
Note: If you initially experience a tremendous amount of feedback‚ first‚ try reversing the phase switch‚ changing your playing position in relationship to the amp or reducing the overall volume level. The Freq Out utilizes 8 filters‚ 4 of which lock down after locating and eliminating feedback. The remaining 4 filters roam continuously searching to reduce feedback problems as they occur. It is very important that the first 4 filters lock down on actual feedback problems. If you feel they have locked down because of the position of your instrument or microphone you may have to reset the Freq Out. To do this‚ simply power down the Ecoustic amplifier and wait 10 seconds before turning the amp back on. Then‚ repeat the procedure below.
3.Now‚ repeat the procedure with the microphone channel.
