Chapter 7: Editing Effects
EQ
The shelving EQ is only available in Configuration #s 4 and 5. It provides bass and
treble boost, and affects the entire Main Output (not just the Effects Sends). Four EQ
parameters are included: low frequency (range: 30Hz to 180Hz), low frequency boost
(0dB to 12dB), high frequency (3kHz to 10kHz), high frequency boost (0dB to 9dB).
Lo EQ Frequency
This allows you to adjust the cutoff frequency of the Lo EQ. It can be set between
30Hz and180HZ. If the Lo EQ Gain parameter is set above 0dB, all frequencies
below and including the one selected by the Lo EQ Frequency parameter will be
affected.
Lo EQ Gain
This controls how much boost will be applied to frequencies below and including the
one selected by the Lo EQ Frequency. It can be set between 0dB and +12dB.
Hi EQ Frequency
This allows you to adjust the cutoff frequency of the Hi EQ. It can be set between
3kHz and 10kHz. If the Hi EQ Gain parameter is set above 0dB, all frequencies
above and including the one selected by the Hi EQ Frequency parameter will be
affected.
Hi EQ Gain
This controls how much boost will be applied to frequencies above and including the
one selected by the Hi EQ Frequency. It can be set between 0dB and +9dB.

Overdrive

The Overdrive effect provides four parameters spread across two editing pages. It is
only used in Configuration #5.
Overdrive Type
This selects one of two Overdrive Types: Soft and Hard. The Soft Overdrive has less
gain and provides slightly less distortion than the Hard Overdrive. Also, there will still
be a slight bit of distortion when using the Soft setting, if the signal feeding the
Overdrive effect is below the Overdrive Threshold setting (see below). The Hard
setting will only provide distortion when the signal feeding the Overdrive effect is
above the Overdrive Threshold setting.
