CONTOUR
–
Our unique CONTOUR circuit offers a continuously variable pre-shaped curve that boosts lows and highs
while simultaneously cutting mid frequencies. The slope is fairly gentle which keeps the tone shaping very musical. This
curve covers a wide frequency range and can be used by itself or in conjunction with the EQUALIZATION controls. When
the SHAPE control is all the way off (CCW) the CONTOUR response curve is completely FLAT.
EQUALIZATION
– The
ACOUSTIC ARRAY
™ PRO
contains an active 3 band equalizer with a sweepable parametric
mid-range frequency control. The mid-range filter is typically (but not always) used to reduce or remove offending
frequencies in the instrument or room response; or to boost response to achieve a particular voicing. Spend some time
experimenting so that the process becomes creative as well as corrective.
LOW:
+/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 75Hz
MID GAIN:
+/- 15dB boost/cut of the variable mid frequency selected
MID FREQ.:
Variable mid frequency from 200Hz-5kHz
HIGH:
+/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 7.5kHz
EFFECTS
–
Each channel has its own set of REVERB and CHORUS level controls that provide the user with the most
flexibility in having either or both effects on either channel.
REVERB:
This control sets the level for the amount of Reverb effect.
CHORUS:
This control sets the level for the amount of Chorus effect.
MASTER SECTION

REVERB TIME:
This control adjusts the decay time of the internal digital reverb effect. The more the control is
turned clockwise the longer the decay time. This provides a wide range of useable reverb effects. A good
starting point for this control would be a setting around
11 o’clock to 1 o’clock. Turning this control to 0 turns off
this effect entirely. The volume of this effect is controlled by the Channel REVERB control.
CHORUS RATE:
This control adjusts the rate and depth of the digital chorus effect. The more the control is
turned clockwise, the faster the chorus rate and the shallower the depth of the effect. A good starting point for
this control would be a setting a
round 10 o’clock to noon. Turning this control to 0 turns off this effect entirely.
The volume of this effect is controlled by the Channel CHORUS control.
MASTER VOLUME
: This control adjusts the overall volume of the amplifier and also adjusts the input level of the
EFFECTS LOOP RECEIVE and AUX INPUT jacks. Typically, best results are obtained when this control is
operated
between the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions.
CUSTOM CONTROL KNOBS
– We’ve included custom
designed control knobs which offer marker lines for precision
adjustments and
a “finger positioning dip” so that the player can
know the knob position by tactile feel alone.
