Enhance Controls

 – Called the “Magic Knob” by some, this complex

control simultaneously boosts the very low bass, upper middle, and high
frequencies while putting a dip in the lower middle frequencies. It is flat
when set to its minimum level (fully counterclockwise).

Bass

 – This traditional shelving tone control provides 15dB of boost or cut at

Midrange Control

 – This covers the center portion of the sound envelope

and can be critical to getting your sound right. The body of the bass guitar
sound is in the Midrange. It boost or cuts the seleted Mid frequency 15dB.

Midrange Freq. Control

 –  This controls the center frequency of the Midrange

 from 250Hz to 2.5KHz.

Treble

 – This traditional shelving tone control provides 15dB of boost or cut

We recommend you engage these switches at low volumes so that your
sound remains consistent at any volume. At higher volume levels they aren’t
needed but you may want to use them as a matter of taste. Because we
strongly support Freedom of Choice, we’ve incorporated these two switches
into our design. (You’re welcome.) Indicator lights to the outsides of the

switches let you know when the boost circuits are engaged.

Master Level Control

 – Adjusts overall system output and stage loudness.

approximately 30Hz. The control is flat in the 12:00 position.

at approximately 11KHz. The control is flat in the 12:00 position.

Tone Control Section

Dynamic Boost

 –  Immediately to the right of the Treble control you will find

two switchs labeled Bass and Treble. These engage the Dynamic Boost. This
feature allows the extreme lows and highs to be adjusted to the ear’s relative
loudness curve (Fletcher-Munson Curve). This ensures the bass will sound full
and solid, even at very low playing levels.
