Press the Processor button to turn the EQ on or off.
When the Fat Channel is in EQ mode, the touchscreen shows an EQ overview screen,
displaying the relevant parameters (as available in the Fat Channel), along with useful
metering and a graphical representation of the effect of current settings. Touching
any onscreen knob (or EQ node, in the Standard EQ) allows you to use the Master
Control encoder to set the selected parameter. Touching a drop-down selector (such
as Key Source) lets you select from a list of relevant choices. Use the Master Control
encoder to scroll through choices. Touching onscreen buttons toggles the related
parameter on or off.

the Center Frequency control selects the shelving frequency.

not engaged, the Low band is parametric. Enabling the Shelf button turns the
Low band into a low-shelving EQ that alters, by a fixed amount, a band of low
