Q Controls
The Q is a measurement of how much the Eq
band affects a range of frequencies.
Tight or Narrow Q (
):
This setting is best for
attacking problems. For example, if you have
an acoustic instrument feeding back, a tight Q
will allow you to cut the offending frequency
without affecting the frequencies around it.
Medium Q ( ):
This setting is great for
general tone shaping. Most equalizers in
instrument amplifiers are medium Q. Try
using this setting to cut frequencies in the
300Hz-400Hz range if your amp is sounding
a little muddy, or boosting in the 1kHz-5kHz
range if your guitar is a little dark.
Wide Q ( )
: Wide Q settings are best
when you want a really transparent change to
the signal. For example, boosting at around
100Hz can add a bit of warmth, and a little
boost in the 3k range can add detail and
definition, all while retaining the original
tone.
