- Better sounding effects: reverb and delay effects sound a lot
more transparent, when the bass and low midrange content of
the signal sent to their inputs is reduced.
- Recording guitars: when recording electric guitars, add some
4kHz to distorted solo passages. This will make the lead
stand out without interfering with other instruments in the mix.
For powerful rhythm guitar, cut some of the midrange around
1kHz. This will keep the guitar distinct in the background of
the mix while leaving room for the vocals.
- More headroom: acoustic instruments often have a pronoun-
ced resonant peak at a certain frequency somewhere in the
bass or low midrange. This phenomenon can make these
instruments very hard to record as the recording level has to
be adjusted quite low to avoid clipping. With this low recording
volume, all other frequencies will tend to sound weak in com-
parison. When using the GF equalizer, the disturbing resonant
frequency can be attenuated, which allows for an overall
higher recording level and a much more balanced sound.
5. Troubleshooting
The following list contains the most common malfunctions and
the steps that have to be taken if they should occur. For
quickest success, follow the list in the given order until the desi-
red function is working. If all measures should fail to succeed,
send the unit in to the next authorized Zeck dealer for repair.
Do not try to repair the unit unless you are a qualified service
person.

Problem
Troubleshooting procedures
'Power On' LED does not lit
- check 'Power' switch
- check mains connections
- unplug unit and check mains fuse
- check house fuses
No sound
- turn 'Power' switch off. If there is still no sound, the problem is not
with the GF 215, but somewhere else in the signal chain
- turn 'Power' switch on again and activate 'EQ on' switch
- check incoming signal with gain control and 'Headroom' LEDs. If
there is a signal, check output connections.
Faders do not work
- check 'Power' switch
- check 'EQ' on switch
