Chapter 3. Performance

Adjusting the Sound to Achieve the Preferred

Tone Quality (Equalizer)

The RG-7 features a built-in, three-band digital equalizer.

An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to adjust the sound balance for the overall performance. For example, you can boost the highs to get a crisper sound, or boost the low end for a more powerful sound.

You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical characteristics of the performance space.

If raising the values for separate frequencies causes the sound to distort, you can use the “Master Level” (see below) to control such distortion.

1 Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its indicator to light.

2 Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to display the EQUALIZER screen.

You can temper the distortion in the sound by lowering

the level. Raising the level too much may cause the sound

instruments like drums, bass, organ, guitar and strings.

the sound.
