level control. If you are cutting EQ bands (decreasing gain),

you’ll have to turn up the output level control.

NNoottee::

Using the Tube EQ for adding gain will not damage the

unit. The only thing that will suffer will be the signal to noise

ratio (meaning that if you use the Tube EQ as a distortion box, it

will probably be noisy). However, use caution and observe the

input levels of the equipment that the Tube EQ is plugged into to

be sure you are not overdriving it.

The following chart gives you an idea of where certain instru-

ments lie in the audio spectrum. If an instrument isn’t listed, use

the one which most closely resembles it. The descriptions in quo-

tations are references for you to experiment with. For example, if

you have a kick drum with no “click” from the beater, try boost-

ing around 2 - 2.5KHz. Since every instrument, microphone and

room is different, these are only approximations but should give

you a good place to start.

The Low Frequency control adjusts a shelving filter with a selec-

table corner frequency of either 40Hz or 120Hz. The low shelv-

ing filter designed into the Tube EQ affects all frequencies below
