The EQ settings shown above are suitable as a starting point for users who desire a more general
setting for all styles with middle-to- slightly darker tonal coloration.
As stated earlier, the MID frequencies are the key. Turning the MID Frequency control slightly
clockwise will reduce highs further.
You may also want to pull the Middle frequencies down a bit further toward -14 or -15 dB if the
Mids are still too “”in your face” with your pickup.
Once the equalization is set to your satisfaction, the BLEND control can be rocked slowly while
striking a wide grip of strings repeatedly to accurately “fine tune” all the EQ settings at one time.
Remember that these controls are sensitive, so a little adjustment can change a lot.

The EQ settings shown above are suitable as a starting point for users who desire a very crisp
and sharp, setting with very high definition of both lows and highs. This type of setting is bright
and clear (with good pickups in your guitar), and optimizes both the “growl” on the lower strings
and the “bells” on the high strings.
As stated earlier, the MID frequencies are the key. Turning the MID Frequency control slightly
clockwise will reduce highs further.
Once the equalization is set to your satisfaction, the BLEND control can be rocked slowly while
