Tone Controls, Output 1/4 unbalanced

Tone Controls

Bass - We carefully voiced this control to give you the deep bass you need for your lowest notes, with plenty of mid-bass punch for the D and G strings. If the sound becomes boomy when you raise the Bass control, lower the Depth control until the sound tightens up.

Low-mid - Boost here to thicken up the low end. Cut low mids for a more transparent tone or to reduce feedback with acoustic bass.

Mid - This control subtly affects how well the instrument blends in or stands out in the mix.

Hi mid - This control zeroes in on click, fret buzz and string handling sounds produced by your fingertips.

Treble - The Platinum Bass’ circuitry ensures smooth and sweet treble. Cut treble for a vintage “flatwound” sound.
