8 | TUBE-TECH ME 1B MIDRANGE EQUALIZER
User Interface
The user interface of the ME 1B is pretty straight forward. You have three different sections, the Low
Frequency Peak, Mid Frequency Dip and the High Frequency Peak. The only confusing thing is that the
mid section never boosts, but always attenuate the selected frequency. The other two sections, low and high
frequency, boost the frequencies. But as soon as you start to use the ME 1B in conjunction with the PE 1C
you’ll find that these sections will complement the PE 1C.
In addition to this you get an Output Gain control. It isn’t included in the original hardware, but is useful
in a plug-in.
Low Frequency Section
The low frequency section consists of a sweepable bell shaped peak filter and a gain knob.
Low Frequency
Sets the center frequency of the peak filter. The frequency settings are 200 Hz, 300
Hz, 500 Hz, 700 Hz and 1 kHz. All these frequencies overlap with settings in the
Mid Frequency.
Low Peak
The right hand knob adjusts the amount of gain in the peak filter. Adjustable from 0
dB to about 10 dB.
Mid Frequency Section
The mid frequency section consists of a sweepable and attenuating bell shaped filter and a gain knob. With
the gain set at 10 you get full attenuation (about -10 dB) from the mid filters.
