EQ
The PC2 comes with its own three-band equalization (EQ), or tone controls. The EQ is global
which means that there is only one setting that is used all of the time regardless of which
program or setup is selected. Its purpose is to adjust the PC2 for individual listening situations.
Changing the EQ
1. Press the
EQ
button to light its LED, and the EQ parameters appear in the display:
EQ:|Low|||Mid|||High
||||+0dB||+0dB||+0dB
Each band starts at
0 dB
when you turn on your PC2 (this is called
ßat
equalization).
2. Adjust the level of each frequency range using Sliders
A
,
B
, and
C
, which correspond to
the low, middle, and high frequency range. You can go from
-12 dB
(lowering the volume)
to
12 dB
(raising the volume). YouÕll hear the sound change as you adjust each level
(depending on the sound, the change can be quite subtle).
You can also use the cursor buttons and Alpha Wheel to change the EQ settings.
3. Press
EQ
again to return to your previous performance mode (alternatively, you can press
Cancel
, or press one of the mode-selection buttons twice).
Effects
The PC2Õs digital multi-effects consist two independent effects blocks called FX-A and FX-B.
Each block always has an effect associated with it, depending on the current program or setup.
The
FX-A
and
FX-B
buttons in the Effects region of the front panel enable the ÒsendsÓ to each
effect block. When these buttonsÕ LEDs are lit, the corresponding effect sends are enabled, and
youÕll hear the corresponding effects. YouÕll notice that as you select programs or setups, the
FX-A and FX-B LEDs come on and go off according to the settings for each program or setup,
indicating which effects blocks are active in the default settings for the program or setup.
There are over 150 effects available for FX-A, including reverbs, delays, choruses, ßangers,
phasers, tremolo, panners, envelope Þlters, distortions, rotary speakers, compressors, enhancers,
waveform shapers, and multi-effect combinations. There are 30 reverbs available for FX-B (these
reverbs are also available for FX-A).
Activating Effects
By default, most programs and setups have at least one effect send active. You can change the
sound of a program or setup quickly by activating or deactivating the sends to the effect blocks.
To activate or deactivate the send to an effect block, press either
FX-A
or
FX-B
. Normally, the
effect blocks are mutually exclusiveÑthat is, turning on one send turns the other one off (we
