Getting Sounds

It never fails, there always seems to be a sound man at the back of the room, or an engineer in the control room that wants “more of this, or less of that” (bottom line: your ear is king). But, to accommodate these situations, you may need to make some minor adjusting here and there along the way. So here are some helpful guidelines for getting great sounds, while keeping everyone happy.

Input and Master Output Adjustments

The best setting for the input control is to use the <Input level> knob so you’re occasionally lighting the clip LED. As far as setting the Master Output level, let your ears be the judge. But, if you can’t hear the rest of the band, chances are that you need to back off on the Master Volume level of the Millennium.

Gain Adjustments

To adjust the gain in the Amplifier Modeling section, either turn the <Gain> knob on the front panel or press the <Edit> button to put you in edit mode. Now use the <Preset/Effect> wheel to scroll to the amplifier model. From this point, turn the <Mix/Page> knob to move to Page 2 of the amplifier module. The number of different Amp tones are almost unlimited when making gain adjustments. Your gain settings range from 0.0 to 10, so this gives you plenty of room for great tones in between. Note that the gain parameter will add distortion gain when a distorted amplifier module is used and will add volume when a clean tone Amplifier module is used. Always remember to save any changes.

EQ and Preset Level

Adjusting the EQ is as easy as grabbing the knob and turning. The <Treble> knob controls the level of the High frequencies. The <Mid> knob controls the level of the mid range frequencies, and the <Bass> knob controls the bass frequencies. In Preset mode, the level of each frequency band is displayed in the 7 segment displays located above each knob. EQ settings range from 0.0 to 10. The Millennium also gives you the ability to adjust individual preset levels by simply turning the <Level> knob to the desired setting. Always remember to save any changes.

Note: Changes to the Gain, EQ and Level settings can be done using either the tone Controls (located on the left side of the front panel) or the <1,2,3 and 4> knobs located directly below the display. Using either editing method will correspond in the display. A sample setting is shown below with Channel B being the active channel.
