1:Equalizer - These controls allow you to shape your sound by boosting or cutting the amount of bass (at 100 Hz) or treble (at 10 kHz) by up to 15 dB. A center detent in each knob indicates no boost or cut (that is, flat response).

As each knob is turned clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is reduced.

2:Reverb send - These knobs determine how much signal is being sent from the channel to the onboard DSP effects processor. As you move the knob clock- wise from 0 to 10, more signal is sent. To hear the effect, one of the six presets must be selected using the DSP Effects control (see #10 on the next page). Be careful not to send too much signal to the DSP, or a distorted sound will result.

3:Pan/Balance control - In channels 1 and 2, this knob acts as a Pan control, allowing you to place the signal anywhere in the left-right stereo spectrum, while keeping the overall signal level constant. When the knob is placed at its center (detented) position, the signal is sent equally to both the left and right outputs.

To route a signal hard left or right, place the pan knob either fully counterclock- wise or fully clockwise.

In channel 3/4 (the stereo channel), this knob acts as a Balance control, allowing you to alter the relative levels of the two input signals. When the knob is placed at its center detented position, both signals are at equal strength. When moved left of center, you’ll hear more of the left input signal; when moved right of center, you’ll hear more right input signal.

4:Channel volume control - This knob determines the level of the channel In stereo channel 3/4, this knob simultaneously controls the level of both inputs (the relative levels of the two can be adjusted with the Balance knob, as described in #3 above). In practice, you’ll use the channel volume controls to continuously adjust the levels of the various signals being blended together by the EX30 mixer.
