How it works:
There are ten EQ sliders for a wide range of tonal control selected at the most musical frequency centers. You can individually cut or boost each frequency to shape your tone. With + or – 12db you can get 4x the output or 4x the reduction at the selected frequency. In addition to the EQ sliders, there is a gain slider that controls the signal level going into the pedal, and a volume slider that controls the overall effect volume for ultimate control of your signal. All sliders feature a glowing LED, which will blink if the signal is clipping.How to use it:
The Ten Band EQ is very easy to use, as the sliders are a graphic representation of the pedal’s frequency response. Here are a few settings to help you get on your way, but the best way to use this pedal is to keep experimenting and tweaking until you find your own unique sound.
